One of Montréal’s famed bagel bakeries – people flood in here around the clock to scoop them up the minute they come out of the oven. Classic sesame- or poppy-seed varieties are hits, though everything from cinnamon to all-dressed is here, too. If you want an immediate fix of these honey-water boiled bagels, there is public seating outside.
