About

Kettlemans Bagel specializes in the traditional Montreal style bagel, characterized by a hand-rolled dough boiled in honey-infused water before undergoing a crisp bake in a signature wood-burning oven. Each bagel exhibits a distinct chewy texture paired with a subtly sweet profile and a blistered, golden crust. The menu features an extensive array of cream cheese spreads, ranging from classic plain to garden vegetable and smoked salmon variations. Guests encounter an open-kitchen layout where the intensive labor of bagel production remains visible throughout the service. Stacks of freshly prepared sandwiches utilize these bagels as the structural foundation, often incorporating high-quality deli meats and crisp produce. This establishment prioritizes speed and consistency, delivering authentic, artisanal products that define a specific category of Canadian culinary heritage through precise techniques and wood-fired heat.

Absolutely incredible bagel spot in Montreal. I was genuinely impressed by how fresh everything was - you can actually watch the bagels being baked right in front of you, which made the experience even better.
The entire location was very clean & well-maintained, & the staff were professional, friendly, & efficient. I also really enjoyed the indoor dining area & had a chance to sit & enjoy the atmosphere for a bit.

The variety of bagels available was amazing. Although I didn't get a chance to try their smoked salmon or specialty sandwiches this time, the fresh bagels I had were outstanding.

I even brought several bagels back to the Greater Toronto Area for my family, & they absolutely loved them. You can really tell the ingredients are high quality, & seeing everything made fresh in front of you gives a lot of confidence in the product.
I'll definitely be coming back the next time I'm in Montreal. Highly recommended!

Worst bagel spot. All the condiments/meats ARE NOT FRESH! Please beware of this place selling the most expensive & disgusting bagel of MTL.

J'ai voulu commander un bagel aux couleurs des canadiens avec du fromage à la crème… pour me faire dire par la demoiselle à la caisse qu'elle n'avait pas la touche dans son système & qu'elle n'avait pas le temps d'aller avertir la cuisine. Elle m'a ensuite supplié de choisir & autre chose & quand je lui ai dit que je ne prendrais rien, elle m'a répondu merci en poussant un soupir de soulagement?

Honestly, I could eat their bagels everyday for lunch & never get tired of it. I ordered their smoked salmon everything bagel & everything about it was perfect. The ingredients fresh, & the bagel itself fantastic -- the dough was so soft & the outside so crispy. Thank you for the great meal!
