Being a visitor of Montreal, I had to make a stop for their bagels. Our first choice of cinnamon raisin wasn't available, so we opted for the seedless. If you're from the USA, bagels in Canada are thinner and sweeter. St. Viateur makes some good bagels. We ordered half dozen, some to bring home. One thing I didn't like, and it's possibly we didn't get a good batch, but our bagels got hard quick.
You will never find a 24 hour bagel shop in the States or people eating bagels plain without any cream cheese like you do here. Another positive, they are relatively affordable as there is no additional 15% tax! If these is (and it is just added in the price), than these bagels are cheaper than the average prices in the US!! Cash only!
