Kettlemans Bagel se spécialise dans le bagel montréalais traditionnel, caractérisé par une pâte roulée à la main puis pochée dans une eau additionnée de miel avant une cuisson rigoureuse dans un four à bois emblématique. Chaque bagel présente une texture moelleuse caractéristique associée à un profil légèrement sucré et une croûte dorée et croustillante. Le menu propose une vaste sélection de fromages à la crème, variant des options nature classiques aux mélanges aux légumes ou au saumon fumé. La cuisine ouverte permet aux clients d'observer le processus exigeant de fabrication des bagels tout au long du service. Les sandwichs fraîchement préparés utilisent ces bagels comme base, intégrant des charcuteries de qualité et des produits frais. Cet établissement privilégie la rapidité et la constance, offrant des produits artisanaux authentiques qui définissent un patrimoine culinaire canadien par des techniques précises et une cuisson au feu de bois.
Kettlemans Bagel est largement reconnu comme une destination incontournable à Montréal pour ses bagels frais de haute qualité, offrant un équilibre parfait entre un extérieur croustillant et un intérieur moelleux. De nombreux clients apprécient les portions généreuses, la grande variété de sandwichs proposés et l'expérience unique de pouvoir observer la cuisson des bagels sur place. Bien que la plupart des visiteurs soulignent la propreté des lieux ainsi que le professionnalisme et la gentillesse du personnel, la rapidité du service et la constance de la nourriture peuvent varier lors des périodes de forte affluence. Dans l'ensemble, cet établissement est régulièrement recommandé comme une option abordable et accueillante pour le petit-déjeuner ou un repas rapide, particulièrement pour ceux qui se rendent au Centre Bell situé à proximité.
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!
I ate a ham & cheese bagel here with the herb bagel. It came with a pickle which was a tasty bonus! Everything was delicious. The store was very clean & well stocked. The staff was polite & nice to us. The location is great & the store was super clean. I love the ambience of the restaurant.

First time in Montreal, we discover that a local specialty is BAGELS (I thought New York had the monopoly of that), & upon the recommendation of the staff in our hotel for a good place nearby, we rush to Kettlemans to check it out. Well, we were not disappointed: the bagels are very good, with all the necessary condiments (various types of cream cheese, lox, onions, etc.). Staff was friendly & efficient, the place is new, clean & well organised. We will go back.
I have very mixed feelings about my experience ; we first went & asked for 2 Konscious sandwiches, which is labeled as vegan, & a vegan blueberry cream cheese bagel. I asked the employee which bagel they were using for those. He told me all bagels have eggs… I was confused because the Konscious sandwich is labeled as vegan !!!!! He wasn't knowledgeable & ended up asking his manager who was talking about the gf bagel. I looked online & it did say that the gf option was vegan… So we asked the Konscious sandwich & made sure to specify that we wanted the gf vegan bagel & vegan cream cheese. They weren't understanding, they were asking us if we wanted the nondairy one. Anyways, we ordered & then left without checking our order (big mistake). We received 2 Konscious sandwiches without cream cheese & with REAL salmon !! & a 3rd Konscious sandwich with blueberry cream cheese ?!? We kept everything & went back later. The employees weren't the same. We explained the issue & asked to speak to a manager. This time, the employee & the manager were very helpful, knowledgeable & kind. We ended up getting a refund & our order remade for free. They confirmed that the only vegan option is the gf bagel, the other ones either contain eggs or are cooked in honey water. So ! We were able to taste the sandwich, but I was disappointed in it. It is pretty tasteless in my opinion. & the bagels are very dry & sandy. I did like the cream cheese tho. But I won't go back.
They aren't quite NJ/NY-level of bagels, but they're still good. Have gotten a dozen bagels to take home & freeze, tried some of the cream cheeses, & bagel sandwiches to eat there. Pleasant dining area, big windows so you're right there on Avenue des Canadiennes, by the Bell Center. Very commercial, very consistent. Have always had very pleasant service & good experiences here. Watched them make the bagels through the glass. Bagels are always fresh. Never had a long line to order, always found a table to sit at.
Not the best bagel spot, but a convenient choice next to Centre Bell. I tried the salmon bagel-decent, but not impressive. It had too much cream cheese & olives, which didn't really complement the flavors
Growing up in Ottawa (& living now in Toronto) Kettlemans has been my goto for bagels. Honestly, I had a bagel here & it was kind of dry & tasteless. Also, I was charged for a full breakfast sandwich when ordering just an egg & cheese.
