  • There’s no food as synonymous with New York as the bagel-soft, chewy, doughy, with a generous schmear. But one city is giving the Empire State a run for its money. Welcome to Montreal, Canada, where the bagels are a little crispier, a little sweeter, but no less iconic. Still, the question stands: which bagel reigns supreme? We hit up New York’s legendary H&H Midtown East and Montreal’s famous St-Viateur to get to the bottom of the battle of the bagels.

    You cannot discuss bagels without mentioning their place of origin: Kraków, Poland. Bagels were originally made by Jewish communities in Kraków and they are still widely sold from street carts all around town for around 1zł (0.3$) a piece. Kraków's bagels (or "obwarzanek", as they are widely known in Polish) have the status of a regional protected food of European Union and are one of the symbols of the city. Kraków's bagels are a little bit wider and harder than the American variant, and tend to be eaten solo, mostly as a quick snack by frugal students moving from lecture to lecture within the city. Nevertheless, they are a quality in their own right.

    • @ohlookmarki

      True^^^. and I dont think that is a disputed fact if you go to New York. They acknowledge the origins of bagels from Poland. After all, it was the Jewish immigrants and refugees that brought about the bagel boom in NY. :) I dont know much about the bagel culture and craze in Montreal, but i heard they were tasty as well.

    Wish I hadn't seen a bagel get toasted near the end.
    Both styles are fine. The best bagel can be found at your local place that puts in the effort to make them properly. The big catch is that you have to eat it within an hour of it coming out of the oven when it's in peak condition. That's pretty much the reason why the "best" bagels are found in large metropolitan areas like NYC and Montreal - They sell very high volumes, so there's a good chance that you're getting a fresh bagel.

I just recently discovered Tsukuyomi, one of the best ramen restaurants near st-laurent, candylabs, a place in McGill that makes hard candy right in front of you, and now I absolutely have to try these bagels. Give Montreal’s food treasures more damn recognition!

    I grew up in Toronto where both varieties are widely available (there isn’t really a Toronto-specific variant). The very slight sweetness of the Montreal bagel provides a delicious contrast to salty cream cheese. Heavenly. New York bagels are perhaps more filling, but overly chewy and crumbly. One thing I notice is that the quality of NY-style bagels vary much more from bakery to bakery than MTL bagels, I guess because it is the more common variety.

  • @kylemuirhead2744

    I'm a baker at a Canadian bagel shop in Ontario that makes Montreal style bagels so I personally hand roll dough and work in a similar wood burning oven however we all have a deli side that makes custom cream cheese and makes sandwiches with the bagels aswell
    Team Montreal style bagels for the win lol

    • @kylemuirhead2744

    New Yorkers are crazy about their bagels, and they do have the great cream cheese and smoked salmon combo.
    But if you want to have a great bagel on its own, or with some butter or cream cheese, go to Montreal or Istanbul. Sesame bagels in New York don't come close to those two city's sesame bagels.

    I think you have to have tried both to have a say here; if you've only ever had a NYC bagel, of course you're going to prefer it to something you've never experienced! I've had both, and Montreal bagels win, hands down. I used to walk to Fairmount in the wee hours of the morning, and grab a half dozen bagels (with a chocolate chip one to eat on the walk home)
