Had the bagel sesame with chicken and it was delicious! Also bought some rosemary sea salt bagels to take home and they were so good.

One of the best bagels we’ve ever had—absolutely worth it! The bagels were fresh, warm, and perfectly chewy with that classic Montreal flavor. You can really taste the difference when they’re made fresh. The service was quick and friendly too. We’ll definitely be coming back the next time we’re in Montreal!

Authentic Montreal bagels. We waited 30 minutes to have them straight from the oven. Multiple cream cheese options make this a perfect stop on your Montreal visit!

Must try bagel shop in Montreal. It is walking distance from many hotels and it has a really cute and clean atmosphere. I tried their famous bagel and asked them to sandwich it with pear, brie and prosciuto.

I’m sorry, but the food here is worse than a supermarket . The salmon bagel is pathetically under filled, their soup tasted of absolutely nothing and the chocolate cookie was probably 2 weeks old. Almost $30 for this, absolute ripoff. Do not recommend

Hello Petra, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re truly sorry that your experience at La Fabrique de Bagel was not up to your expectations. A few points that we’d like to clarify: The amount of wild Quebec salmon is the same in all sandwiches: every salmon bagel is prepared with an identical portion so that our standard stays consistent. For the soup, our guests have salt and pepper available at the counter to season it to their taste, if they wish. Our cookies are freshly baked in our ovens and not kept from several days before. We take your comments seriously and will review this with our team to make sure our portions, flavor, and freshness remain at the level our regular customers expect. If you’re ever in the area again and open to another visit, we’d be glad to welcome you back and show you a better experience.

Best everything bagel in the city! Adill (sorry if spelled improperly) was a gracious server who went above and beyond for us. Of note- when it expressed that I wanted to try practicing ordering in French he not only served me in french, but took the time to help me with pronunciation and terms.
