Another off shoot the bagel house. I am quite familiar with the original spot and the mid town location. This one is decent as well. This was a spur of the moment purchase as I am partial to their liver sandwich. The oven wasn't running on this visit (I think the original runs 24/7 if I recall) but the bagel was decent nonetheless. Nice chewy texture with a sweet finish courtesy of the honey water.
I am by no means a connoisseur for bagels let alone Montreal style. Good stuff for what you pay 3.5 stars.
