4084 Ste-Catherine West
Westmount, QC
In the city where Montrealers have enjoyed the benefit of getting bagels fresh from the ovens 24 hours a day and where people from Toronto and Calgary, , when they hear you are coming, ask if you would bring bagels who would have thought a new bagel shop was opening? Least of all in Westmount where in a two square block area there are already eight restos that serve bagels and sandwiches. They offer bagels from individual to dozens, varied varieties with or without a selection of cream cheese to suit every taste, and a choice of coffee from Expresso to Filtered coffee and everything in between. I have been in for my coffee and bagel four times now and the coffee is always hot and fresh. You can eat inside or out on the terrace and I have seen several of the food delivery services picking up deliveries. The staff are extremely friendly and the cleanliness is noticeable. From the restaurant you can see into the other half of this street level location, the factory where the baking is done.. Bagels have come a long way since the days when I was a child and my father would take me to a laneway beside Schwartz deli where Montreal’s first bagels were born.
