Bagel Montreal Style - a hand holding a bagel - Bagels Near Me - Dartmouth, Nova Scotia

In theory, this should be simple: A place that calls itself Bagel Montreal Style is self-explanatory. However, it isn't what it sets itself out to be. 1) Any self-respecting "Montreal"-style bagel shop would not be adding raisin, cinnamon, blueberries, cherries, chocolate, etc. to their bagels. A Montrealer would laugh you out of their shop if you came in asking for one. 2) What they have on the shelf labelled as "cherry bagels" or "chocolate bagels" aren't bagels at all; they're more like Danishes or strudels. A quick look could tell you that. We bought a couple just for sh*ts and giggles, and the taste confirmed that they were just mediocre Danishes. 3) Here's the oddest thing: They have the chew of Montreal bagels, and *looked* fresh out of the oven, but surprisingly, they were almost rock-hard 12 hours later. Never experienced that before, in all the years I bought bagels in Montreal, or from "Montreal-style" bagel shops outside of the city. So it's a no for me. I want to support the local bakery, but the hardness of the bagels is a hard stop. I'll just pay $1 more for the half-dozen bagels and get the real St. Viateur bagels from my local Sobeys. read more

A very cool idea, fresh bagels and you can literally see them making it in their fresh stone oven. The food was good. I got the turkey sandwich on an all dressed bagel and my boyfriend got the breakfast bagel on an all dressed bagel. Both were delicious but I found it's nothing we couldn't get at another restaurant taste wise. My order was made wrong twice - I just wanted no tomato and no cheese (allergy). It was also a decent wait and the customer service wasn't the great and no one really looked you in the eyes. It was cramped enough without having people not get their order quick enough. I gave three stars which is rare for me because although the food was great, we didn't feel prioritized especially with my order made multiple times. The price was great which kind of made up for the service but not really. I don't think we will be back. read more

One of my favourite British expressions is "Does exactly what it says on the tin." Which means that the product(/service/business/etc.) provides one exactly what they advertise as. This place does exactly what it says on the tin. It provides bagels. They are Montreal style. They are delicious. Even just walking up and smelling that wood fire? It makes my mouth water. I have yet to be disappointed by any of the bagels I've tried here. I started with plain, wholewheat, and multigrain. But I've become more adventurous and tried chocolate/banana (a WIN), apple cinnamon (another WIN), blueberry (yet another WI-they're all wins, okay?). Service is good and fast but so is the rate of disappearance of bagels so be prepared to get what you can while you're in there because a) they're all good; and b) it's a busy place. read more

Bagel Montreal Style - the front of the store - Bagels Near Me - Dartmouth, Nova Scotia

This is the only place I get my bagels from in the HRM. I get the Everything, Montreal Steak Spice, and Olive Oil and Rosemary. Very crispy bagels yet so soft on the inside. However, if you aren't toasting them at home, I would recommend you ask what is the freshest bagel they have. It's so warm! read more

There is no reason to not get your bagels here all the time.... 5/5.... they are authentic Montreal style bagels and they are fresh and awesome. the Employee's are friendly and engaging. Boiled in Honey water the recipes and flavours are authentic and a great option to our only other way to get these - frozen St. Vitaurs :( which hurt my heart... they are open at the crack of dawn making this awesome treats which I appreciate also. perfect location for taking bagels to work or getting a breakfast sandwich... I recommend the BLT it's my Fav. read more

Best bagels and breakfast sandwiches in the city. Always fresh and delicious. So happy to have a spot like this in Dartmouth.

Tried here on a weekend after they first opened and it was later afternoon unfortunately, so 90% of their inventory had sold out for the day. My friend and I each ended up buying a lemon type pastry, and they were fine, but we were disappointed to not get to try a bagel. So after learning of the popularity of the place, I came back another morning to try their breakfast one with bacon & egg, and it was yum! Also have had the turkey club one for lunch one day. I've tried most of their flavors with butter or cream cheese via a coworker who picks them up on his way to the office many days. I think my favorites are the poppy seed or sesame seed. The strawberry one, which is entirely pink and cute-looking, didn't really have a strawberry flavor. The chocolate chip had a few chips in it and was decent, but not chocolatey enough for me. Same with the blueberry. The Everything with cream cheese is very flavorful. So is the Onion & Garlic one, very similar to the Everything, with lots of flavor. Really like the pumpernickel with cream cheese as well, seemed to be toasted to perfection, crispy on the outside, soft on the inside. The Oreo is good, with crumbled bits of cookie on top of a plain bagel. The bagels in general are definitely my favorite in the city though. Staff owners are very friendly. Only thing that could make this place better would be if it was closer to my neighborhood of Clayton Park, and that it was bigger inside, to be able to sit and enjoy a bagel on site (vs the maybe 4 small tables the place actually has, which are usually taken). Good prices as well, when you buy a half or full dozen especially. read more

Believe the hype! I've pretty much been eating bagels for three days straight because I've been waiting years for fresh, hot and GOOD bagels. I don't care if they're Montreal-style or New York-style, I just want good, fresh bagels nearby. Yes, I know you can buy decent quality bagels at certain grocery stores but nothing beats fresh from the oven. I have yet to try the bagel sandwiches, samosas etc. but if the bagels are anything to go by, they'll be great. Some people have complained about price but $9.00-$9.50 for a dozen? Doesn't seem unfair to me, especially for quality bagels! read more

Hand rolled bagels fresh out of the oven, do I need to say more? Me and my gf went there. She got the turkey, I got the salmon sandwich on an onion bagel. They really heaped on the salmon + cream cheese and capers (which was wonderful) and we were both happy with what we got. I will say it was a little pricey and the sandwiches were a little small but when you get gourmet, you're going to have to pay a bit more. Not a lot but enough to warrant mention. That being said, I'm only talking about the sandwiches, the price for bagels was pretty good. Gawd, that was a really good salmon sandwich. We will definitely be going back there! read more

I am from Montreal and have often eaten bagels from St Viateur. The owner worked there for 15 years so he knows bagels. These are the real deal! I go there to eat traditional sesame or poppy seed bagels, so I can't speak for anything else. They are great and warm if you can get there for 6AM read more

Amazing place... have been multiple times and have not been disappointed. Definitely a hit as it's always busy and the bagels are always fresh. Highly recommend the dessert bagels... absolutely incredible. read more

Delicious bagels right out of the oven! It's really neat to watch them baking and flipping them while you're ordering. After a couple of visits my favourite is the breakfast sandwich on a Montreal Steak Spice bagel ($4.90). Other flavours I saw there included pumpernickel, everything, onion, coconut, multigrain, sesame, banana chocolate. They also have interesting dessert bagels that are more of a U-shape. I had a lemon one and it was like they had put a bit of lemon glaze or filling inside before baking. It was fun to try, but not for me. They also have gulab jamun! You can get a couple of different kids of sandwiches on bagels, so it seems like a great breakfast or lunch spot if you want to do more than pick up bagels for home. There's good parking just in front and since it's close to the Macdonald Bridge, you can walk or bike there too. (I didn't notice bike parking though.) The only thing I feel it was missing was the option to buy different flavours of cream cheese. They're new though, so maybe it's something they'll have in the future. The customer service here is really great and orders are ready quickly! There is limited seating (maybe 4-6 chairs), so it's better to get something to go. read more

Couldn't wait to get some of these wood fired Montreal style bagels in Halifax NS after a family member brought some to share. They were delicious then & delicious now! Classic varieties like sesame, all dressed and plain or titillate your taste buds with Carrot Raisin, Rosemary Olive Oil Sea Salt, Chocolate Chip Swirl etc. Hot and fresh! Also serve Smoked Meat & other sandwiches. Indian specialties like real samosas are also fresh & yummy! Terrific Value at Bagel Montreal Style read more

This little shop provides a wide selection of housemade bagel flavours, from the exotic to the classics, as well as other baked goods and sandwiches. The bagels are delicious and reasonably priced and it's fun to try the different flavours. My only complaints are that they serve the eat-in food in styrofoam containers so if you don't want that, maybe bring your own plate or something. It's also extremely hot in there due to the wood fired oven. But some people might enjoy that, especially in winter. I won't let either thing lower my rating though because these bagels are truly not to be missed!! read more

Montreal style bagels are my absolute favorite! I am not a purist/expert, so I can only speak to how good these tasted, not whether they lived up to the best bagels turned out in Montreal. But these were really, really good bagels. The family who runs this place was so kind and served everything with a smile. read more

This place is amazing. Didn't know a bagel could be so good. Had the all dressed as a clubhouse, then picked up a few for my family to try. This is just up the street from my office and trust me I will be back again.. and again. read more

I saw this on Halifax Retales and on television and had to try it. I've been here twice and the bagels are amazing. I tried the poppyseed and the Montreal steak spicy ones and have to say that the Montreal steak spicy is my all time favourite. The prices are really reasonable for getting one bagel with a drink or even half a dozen. Definitely one of the new places in Dartmouth that you have to check out! read more

These are bagels like no other. Crunchy outside, soft inside with a subtle sweetness every time. Endless flavour choices including coconut and even Oreo! I get take out every week although I lean towards cheese, or sun dried tomato/basil or sesame. Their breakfast sandwiches are so good. I get one every Saturday morning. read more

This place has the best bagels I've ever had! Especially the best in Nova Scotia. The staff is super friendly and their bagel sandwiches are unreal! read more

Awesome spot - nice to get Montreal bagels so close. Staff always welcoming and has a smile on their faces.

The REAL Deal -- these people are producing terrific bagels in the authentic Montreal style, in an authentic brick oven. What a treat to see the old-school hand-production setup, and the long chute where the freshly-baked bagels are cooling! Classic white-seeds or black-seeds, plus a nice selection of modern varieties: Rosemary? Strawberry? Cheese? All worth a try. Cream-cheese and smoked salmon sandwiches are hand-prepared to order, plus they do a few different Breakfast bagels. Small, local, and very nice people - it's worth a short lineup. Moves quickly. Good spot next to the Macdonald Bridge. read more

I heard about this place via CBC. I love Montreal bagels but they are hard to find outside of Montreal. Picked up a 1/2 dozen all dressed and had them for breakfast. Fantastic! Next time I'm in Halifax area, I'm picking up some more. read more

Wow. The best bagels ever. No fuss. No trendy atmosphere. Just amazing bagels, fast, friendly service, and great prices. I'll be returning often. read more

For three years, I have been deprived of Montreal bagels after moving back home. I have been bringing them back in my suitcase from trips home and anywhere else I could find them. Yesterday, I found Bagel Montreal Style while driving by. Stopping in was a good decision -- the warm, fresh bagels cooked in the wood-fired over are amazing! This is going to wreak havoc with my diet, but I don't care :). If you haven't stopped by, you should. read more
