- Allow the bagels to cool before serving. Enjoy!
Montreal-style bagels have a rich history dating back to the late 19th century when Jewish immigrants brought their traditional bagel-making techniques to Montreal, Canada. These bagels are smaller, denser, and sweeter than their New York counterparts, and are boiled in honey-sweetened water before being baked in a wood-fired oven. The result is a chewy interior and a slightly sweet, crispy exterior. Legendary Montreal bagel shops like St-Viateur Bagel and Fairmount Bagel have been perfecting this craft for generations, drawing locals and tourists alike. The best Montreal-style bagels can still be found in these iconic establishments, where the traditional recipe and wood-fired baking process are meticulously preserved.
