Known internationally from what I've heard and one of the best places to grab a bagel on the go, to eat seated or then again buy 1/2 dozen and take it home. Ask them their freshest bake and you'll be in heaven! Their sesame seed (the classic one, also used as their logo) is made all day long! The secret to their goodness is that their bagels are boiled in honey water and of corse their gigantic wood fire oven that leaves them golden yet chewie on the inside!
Tip: If you go to the location on Fairmount Street, you will see them making it and you can ask for the ones that are just coming out of the oven!
Please beware the seated place are only in the plateau Mont-Royal or on Monkland Street, google it and you shouldn't have any issue finding these 2 locations.
Pro's:
- They have a resto version where you can buy on the go or eat a meal of their menu. Their breakfast are delicious and so are their sandwiches!
- The Fairmount is 24h/7 and I believe the one in the plateau is as well (verify this tho)
- You can buy and freeze them and they could stay for long. My rule is less than 2 weeks and once reheat they taste as if I just went to get them :)
Con's:
- Just cash $, pass by at your ATM before otherwise you'll pay the fee's at their's.
