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.

I've visited the Bell Center location several times. It's quite busy, & the products are excellent. I recently purchased six bagels, which were placed in a paper bag. No plastic bag was provided unless requested. I think offering a plastic bag automatically, as some competitors do, would be more convenient. Additionally, the thin plastic bag provided is hardly strong enough to hold the bagels; I suggest using a thicker mil bag. Other than that, the products are very good.

I came here on a Sunday right before a show at the Bell Centre. The place was busy but service was very fast. The menu has a good variety of choices. I found the tater tots very salty but everything was fresh. I would come back here again & try out other menu items.

Just outside Bell center, great place to grab Montreal style bagels at affordable prices. I've tried one order of Cheese & egg sandwich for breakfast & I ended up ordering 2 more :) ! YUM! YUM!
While you wait for your order getting ready, you can watch efficient bagel production lines & everyone behind the counter is working with smiles on, it's just great sight!
