these are far from monreal style bagels I like St urbain bagel much better the one in st lawrence market (st urbain bagel) is the real deal much better than bagel house should visit there

We enjoy the Montreal bagels here, however in the last year or so a noticeable fraction of the bagels have been slightly burnt. Either they're using untrained staff, or the baker is too rushed to notice the temperature & baking time. St Viateur's seldom burns their bagels, so it is an avoidable outcome.

if you want toronto bagel... then thats fine. but Montreal... by EVERYONE who knows... the bagel house is the unfortantly the only one who comes close (i prefer the fairmount bagel with its wide variety, but alas not to be in TO)

if you want mtl bagels, fresh. then the bagel house is where you should go. its on avenue road just above lawerence. made there, with an wood oven and the bagels are soked in honey water, just like 'back home'.

Well, I did get to try Montreal Bagel House. The bagels, as well as the reviews were excellent. Thanks for the tips and the spirited discussion.

Bagel House makes a very good Montreal Bagel, no doubt and way better than St. Urbain. However it is no where near 100% equal to St. Viateur in Montreal. Maybe about 70-75% but no way 100%. Not nearly as light or delicate but still very good-as are all the other bagel joints you've mentioned.

if you want true Montreal bagels, you'll have to go to the Bagel House on Bayview, near Millwood, or on Avenue Rd., near Fairlawn. These are the real deal (and terribly addictive, for those who like Montreal style bagels).
