Bagel Etc Reviews
Returning to an old huant after almost 40 yrs. Still has its charm and and awesome menu and staff. Stopped in for a midweek brunch as we'd been in town to see a show. The plateau and main are the same and yet different than I remember. Bagel Ect, still a gem! They served up one of the best brunches we've had in Montreal. I ordered the classic Benedictine Eggs Benedict—perfectly poached eggs, rich and velvety hollandaise, all on a fresh, fluffy base. My partner had the Romanov, a version with lox, which was equally delicious—the smoked salmon was silky and flavorful without overpowering the dish. A special shoutout to their sauteed potatoes—crispy, well-seasoned, and the ideal companion to our meals. Cozy atmosphere, friendly service, and food done right. Forgot to mention, thier latte are perfect...Highly recommended!
Friendly fast service. Great Montreal bagels! I had the Fairmont lox bagel sandwich.
Been going here since the 80’s. Love their burgers but today had the club sandwich. Service was excellent and the decor brings you back to a bygone era. The club was tasty and would recommend as was the Salad Nicoise. The tuna was excellent. Only disadvantage was the line up to pay at the cash, Extremely inconvenient and not fun making customers wait so long. Recommended.
Their bagels tasted very fresh, I’d definitely recommend their deluxe option with extra maple syrup for brunch!
I recently dined at bagel etc and it was fantastic! The service was incredibly fast, and the staff were polite and friendly. The 80's vibe added a fun and nostalgic touch. Most importantly, the meals were absolutely delicious. Highly recommend!
Unexpected gem! Gave this place a try (among several other breakfast/brunch options on the St Laurent corridor) and very happy we did! Great quality and value for breakfast, wonderful vibe/atmosphere, and the service was top notch! Definitely got the feeling it's a neighbourhood fave among locals and I can easily see why. Totally recommend!!
A perfect breakfast and brunch spot. Great decor and lighting, it felt cozy the second I walked in. Fantastic music. Service was sweet and efficient. Just felt like one of those institutions where the servers and the patrons alike respect the place. Probably best eggs Benedict I’ve had in my whole life. Just *perfect* Hollandaise sauce. They know what they’re doing here. Worth a visit when you’re in MTL and wanna be treated well.
Tucked into the heart of Montreal, Bagel Etc. totally exceeded expectations. I had the Eggs Benedict with goat cheese, spinach, and tomato—and it was perfection. The goat cheese added just the right tang, and the spinach and tomato balanced everything out beautifully on a perfectly toasted bagel. We also tried the Mont Royal, and it was equally delicious—flavorful, satisfying, and super fresh. The vibe is classic and cozy with a nostalgic Montreal feel, and the service was warm and efficient. A fantastic stop for breakfast or brunch. We’ll definitely be back!
