R.E.A.L. Bagel Decarie attracts strong praise for fresh, flavorful bagels that many consider among the best in Montreal, with a larger, fluffier texture and a wide variety including all dressed and onion garlic options, plus other baked goods and sandwiches that add to the appeal. The staff are described as friendly and helpful, contributing to a welcoming community vibe and turning it into a go to spot for regulars. A few reviews mention higher prices and occasional issues such as a sour cream cheese incident that was not apologized for, along with minor comments on bagel shape or presentation. Overall the place reads as a Montreal staple with consistent quality and flavor, though a minority note room for improvement in value and service.
I got the chance to try their freshly made sesame bagel…
At first by the shape of it I thought it would be a NYC bagel where it's more dense & tough to chew,but Oh boy how wrong was I. It's was fluffy/ airy with a good bite.
I was Pleasantly surprised by how good their bagels are.
Consistently impressed by the quality of food & service. As a happy customer for over 10 years, I've always had the most positive experiences at RBQM! Love their fresh bagels!

Great fresh bagels & more. They have a lot of other interesting products besides the wonderful bagels. Friendly staff , I was served by one of the owners, Jodie I think was her name, lovely lady.
I've only been here once while I was visiting family, & it was absolutely amazing, definitely gonna make sure this is a stop every time I'm in Montreal! Bagels were so fresh, just absolutely perfect the staff were so nice & helpful! & I think I accidentally met one of the owners or something & she was so down to earth & nice! Loved my overall experience here, 10/10 would highly recommend this place to anyone going to Montreal! Definitely telling all of my friends when they travel here!

Like Lance said, KISS (keep it simple Stroll) method when it comes to a bagel fresh out of the oven. Cream cheese smear, lox optional. Bliss! Real Bagel is one stop shopping for us for the Jewish holidays. We love the creamy chopped liver with fried onions, the "Homemade" gefilte fish & matzoh ball chicken soup. Maybe a knish or two lol. A choice of pickles rounds out our dinner!
Pretty good bagel, offers fresh ones early in the morning! Good variety as well. Other than bagels, other pastries & bread might be baked somewhere else (still good tho)
