Came to montreal hearing that bagels, smoked meats and poutine are all the rage here. Ordered the salmon lox bagel and a half dozen onion bagels.
To be honest, I couldnt see what all the hype was about. Yes i can tell the difference between the montreal bagel and a regular new york bagel but it doesnt warrant all the hype. The only difference is that montreal bagels are chewier and taste more like pretzels.
Not overly impressed. Personally not worth the walk in -10 degree weather.
