This is hands down my favourite bagel spot in not only Toronto, but also in Canada. I've been to Paramount and St-Viatuer in Montreal (and even a few in New York City for good measure) and Schmaltz's tops then all. The pumpernickel, pastrami smoked salmon bagel was hands down the best. The smoke salmon was nicely smoke and seasoned with a delicious rub. The pumpernickel bagel was dense, but also still very soft and nicely complimentary to the smoked salmon. I also tried the sesame bagel, which was good, but the pumpernickel is the way to go.
