"I seriously thought that Montreal bagels were going to be some overhyped thing that only existed in people's minds. I could not have been so wrong.\n\nOnce upon a time, I thought there weren't too many differences in bagels. A bagel was a bagel, and as long as it had a little cream cheese (and not too much), it was fine.\n\nAnd then I had a bagel from here. Scratch that, two bagels. I watched the employees work the dough into a circle, dip it in honey water, and throw it in the oven. I watched them artistically slather cream cheese on it (unfortunately I asked for only a little and ended up wiping a lot off) and deliver it to me in a little white paper bag.\n\nI loved the thinness of the bagel and its vague sweetness. It's 100% superior to NYC bagels and I really just can't wait to come back to Montreal for its yummy food.\n\nI suggest grabbing some bagels from here and eating it at the top of Mount Royal. Watch out for the raccoons."^^ . . "2"^^ . "4"^^ . "2"^^ . "1"^^ . . "2015-11-10T00:00:00"^^ . .
