Bagels Etc is a STAPLE in the Plateau Mont-Royal area. Between the vintage bar vibes and the friendly owner and staff, there are perfect options for anytime, any day of the week.
Personal favourites:
1. Regular breakfast with sausage - I find their sausages absolutely amazing for some reason. They are less salty than other breakfast joints. Their potatoes are just boiled then seasoned on the grill so they're not too heavy for the morning. Their challah is SO GOOD - you have to try it!
2. Smoked salmon eggs benedict - As their name suggests, their benedicts are served on bagels instead of English muffins. This combo goes especially well with cream cheese, smoked salmon, poached eggs and hollandaise. Sometimes if I think potatoes may be too much, I sub out the potatoes for fruit at a small fee.
3. French toast sandwich - It's a different name on the menu but basically it's a french toast sandwich with ham and cheese. It's just the ideal mix of sweet and salty. It's pressed so that the cheese is melted... what more can you ask for?
Literally my only complaint at Bagels Etc is that their coffee cups are too small but still, given the quality of the food and service, the dainty coffee cups are still not enough to knock off a whole star from the rating.
