St Viateur Bagels

Best Bagels New York City or Montreal

Posted on by Roberta Hill

There is a very simple answer to which is better: New York City or Montreal bagels. Neither because, for me, it is like comparing apples and oranges. That said, nothing compares to authentic Montreal bagels from St. Viateur Street. NYC and Montreal bagels have devoted followings, and preferences may vary depending on personal taste and regional affinity. Ultimately, it’s a matter of individual choice for which bagel style is more appealing. As stated above, there is a simple answer from my perspective: Montreal bagels are the best.
