Overview
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 on a walk through 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 be welcome to participate in a blind taste test to determine where your allegiance lies. Will you be team Fairmount, or team St-Viateur? 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. And of course, we'll eat bagels, smoked salmon, capers, cream cheese, hummus, and more!

Itinerary
1. Montréal's Mile End neighbourhood is full of local charms and cultural mixes. A large Hassidic Jewish population lives side by side with people of Greek, Italian and French Canadian origins, just to name a few. A young artsy crowd, hipsters and techies make up other large segments of the population. The picturesque tree lined streets are lined with beautiful homes, charming shops, cafés, restaurants and art galleries.
2. Large scale street art mural by Ola Volo
3. One of the most famous bagel shops in the world. Purveyor of some of the finest bagels and local institution.
4. A charming street full of neighbourhood life, good people watching and local institutions.
5. Montreal's oldest bagel shop. A true local institution where some of the best bagels in the world are hand made, 24 hours per day.
6. A slice of Montreal on one street. Distinctive local architecture, lots of famous shops and restaurants and a vibe all on its own.
7. Locals think of this street as the embodiment of Montréal. Is it a dividing line, or a unifying place? Depends on who you ask. But one thing for sure, it is the most storied boulevard in town.
