Description

What exactly is a Montréal bagel? How did it end up being so beloved? How did an Eastern European Jewish food become a symbol of a French Canadian city? On THE Montréal Bagel Tour, you’ll follow your certified Guide as you explore the charming streets of the Mile-End neighbourhood and visit the two bakeries that have divided the city into two teams. You’ll try some delicious and unique freshly baked Montréal bagels and your life will never be the same. After sampling both options, you’ll participate in a blind taste test to determine where your allegiance lies. Will you be team Fairmount, or team St-Viateur? Bon appétit ! What is the history behind the bagel? Where did it originate and why did it come to be? How is it that it made its way to Montreal? We'll discuss the origins, the varieties, the different preparation and baking methods and so much more. Let's talk about bagels, baby!

Important Information

  • Tours go on no matter what the weather. Only if the weather poses a danger to our safety will we cancel a tour. In that case, you will be given the option to receive a full refund or to rebook for another date/time (based on availability). Your safety is our top priority, and your Guide will do everything they can to keep all guests safe during the tour. Keep in mind that our walking tours use the public space, such as sidewalks and streets and that Montréal is as notorious for potholes as it is for snow and ice. Please use caution and common sense while walking along with us. We only work with Certified Guides. Local law states that all Guides must obtain a yearly guiding permit and to qualify they must complete a mandatory course at the Tourism Institute. At Tours Montréal, we respect and adhere to this rule.
