I do concur with the comments regarding the prices, but unlike the locals who may not frequent this place becuase of the $$$, I was a tourist looking for some yummy Montreal bagels and price was not going to be a factor. It is however, a reason for my 3 stars as opposed to 4.
When we were seated (already a departure from your typical NYC bagel joint) I immediately noticed the plates with multiple bagel slices and fruit and wanted one of those but didn't see it on the menu. So instead of fretting I ordered an all dressed bagel, I guess this means "everything" in Canada. What came out was exactly what I wanted. The bagel was yummy with a (not) heathy serving of full calorie cream cheese slathered all over it. After all the hype, it was a worthwhile trip and I would gladly return upon my next trip to Montreal.
The coffee was pretty good too.
