Mile End Montreal Bagels
The Montreal Bagel is unlike any other style of bagel, and its reproduction elsewhere has been attempted, but never successful. Some attribute this to Montreal tap water, used for the dough as well as a honey boiling process prior to the bagels being baked in a wood burning oven. Compared to New York Bagel, the Montreal bagel is smaller, denser, chewier, and slightly sweet. Sesame and Poppy seeded are the two traditional types of Montreal Bagel.
