| - This is the best-Montreal-bagel-hand-down-don't-even-try-to-argue-with-me-about-it! These are the bagels I smuggle back to the US by the dozens and have people yearning for and willing to do (almost) anything for me to get one! Bagels are sweet (but not too much), chewy, and have a slightly charred taste. Sesame is the way to go.
If you are a first-time tourist to Montreal, this shop is a bit harder to find than some of its equally-famous competitors, and you may be tempted to stop at that competitor figuring 'it's good enough.' I myself made that rookie mistake some years ago. And it is a mistake. Don't give up. Find it. This place is SO MUCH BETTER. Really, there is no competition. I don't even know why people like the 'other' place when this is, again, SO MUCH BETTER. (This is not an opinion, it's a statement of fact!)
Also, this particular shop, IMHO, is better for some reason than the other St. Viateur Bagel that's down the block on the other side of the street.
