La Fabrique de Bagel Montréal

Tips from the community

No weekend in Montréal itinerary is complete until you’re introduced to the heart of the city’s culture and cuisine (cue drumroll please): the Montréal-style bagel. The Montréal-style bagel is distinctive, handmade and wood-fired. In contrast to the New York Style Bagel, the Montréal bagel is smaller, thinner, sweeter and denser. There are entire articles devoted to arguing why Montréal makes a superior bagel, but we’ll leave that fight to the experts and simply say this: a trip to Montréal is not complete with out a bagel and some schmear. If you’re bagel-obsessed, St-Viateur Bagel Shop and Fairmount Bagel are, hands down, the best spots in the city for an authentic experience. Both sell bagels fresh, 24 hours a day, and are located just a few blocks apart in the Mile End. If you prefer to stay closer to your home base in Old Port/Ville Marie, La Fabrique de Bagel is easy, local and personal fave.

    Famous for its electric vibe and rockin nightlife, there are hundreds of things to do in Montréal after dark: crazy events, music festivals, swanky bars, and sexy cabaret shows. But where do you go if you just want to sunbathe in a park, see some art, soak in a hot pool, and eat your weight in vegan comfort food? From snug brunch spots to serene floating spas, I vetted a ton of places to find the chillest escapes. Comfy up and get ready to enjoy a perfect laid-back weekend Montréal.
