A bagel shop on Chemin Queen Mary that follows the Montreal method — boiled in honey-infused water before a traditional wood-fired bake — alongside more inventive flavours like Oreo or French toast. The deli counter also serves chicken schnitzel and brisket sandwiches.
Baked in small batches throughout the day, the bagels are often compared to Fairmont's; showing up early helps avoid the wait.
