So glad to have this hot little firepit tossing out fresh bagels on Beaubien. I'm a little in love with Beaubien right now, not least because these bagels hold their own against the best when they are fresh. They have their own special crispness on the outside, and then a lighter fluff in the middle than any of the others I love in town - Fairmount, St Viateur, DAD's, Real Bagels. This magical effect does not quite make it to day two, but let's face it, you won't have many left by then anyway.
Sidenote: they also sell Montreal Kosher bread, and cheese bagels. Cheese bagels are these sweet horseshoe-shaped cheese pastries that are almost entirely un-bagel-like, aside from the fact that both are awesome. Grab two.Listed in: Bagels

First off, I'm New Yorker who takes her bagels seriously. So when people told me I HAD to try bagels in Montreal, I was a bit skeptical. Could they really be anywhere near as good as in NY?
Well, we stopped in here around 9:30 PM on a Friday night and got fresh hot sesame bagels, right out of the wood fired oven. They were delicious! Of course, how can you go wrong when they are fresh out of the oven?!
Overall, the bagels are much lighter than NY bagels - there is no chewy denseness that typifies the NY style. The shape was also a bit different -- narrower with a much bigger hole in the middle. So generally, they seemed a bit smaller than what you would get in NY. The "savory" bagels we bought were slightly sweet - apparently they boil them in sweetened water which is part of what distinguishes them.
I would definitely recommend getting some of these -- especially if you can get them fresh out of the oven! -

This little hole in the wall has a split personality, over one door it reads "Bagel Beaubien" and "Beaubien Bagel" above the other. Just to make sure you're not confued: they sell bagels, on Rue Beaubien :)
My glasses fogged up immediately upon entering, and after some discreet wiper action, I was delighted to discover they actually make the bagels on site. I guess it's common for bagel places, but I'm not used to them in general. They have a great selection (in my very small book): sesame, poppy seeds and wheat, but also, cinnamon-raisin, chocolate, blueberry and onion! 6 Bagels are less than $5 and a dozen in around $8 which I find reasonable. I was disappointed to find the bagels were cold, what was I expecting? a live cookery show? They were still delicious, moist and dense. I tried a cheese danish and was a bit let down: it had the tell-tale, very sweet flavour that hints at mass-production rather than hand-made baking.The service was not incredible but I guess I'd be a little brought down as well if i were cooking in that heat for days on end.
They regularly advertise in the local Rosemont paper and you can snag yourself a coupon giving you half price on 24 bagels! If you want to spend even less, they wrap up bagels from the day before and sell them at discount price!Listed in: Faim sans fin
