We're so flattered that Beyond the Bagel was included in Eater Montreal's top 4 Montreal Food Tours!

And, we couldn’t agree more with the folks at Eater: BTB isn’t just for tourists! We love having locals join us to share their own stories, and discover things they never knew about their own backyard (and most importantly, nosh down on delights like Hof Kelsten’s Bialys!)

Un grand remerciement à Eater Montreal d'avoir inclus Au-delà du Bagel dans la liste des top 4 des tournées gastronomiques montréalaises ! Nous sommes très honorés de cette reconnaissance !

De plus, nous sommes tout à fait d'accord avec eux : Au-delà du Bagel n’est pas seulement pour les touristes ! Nous sommes toujours heureux d'avoir les habitants de Montréal nous joindre pour partager leurs propres histoires et découvrir leur propre quartier (et bien sûr, savourez des délices comme le Bialys de Hof Kelsten !)

Schwartz's Hebrew Delicatessen is out but Musée du Montréal juif - Museum of Jewish Montreal still has a few precious cans of Cott's cherry cola!

The Montreal deli gets the drink from a local supplier, and that supplier is out of cans.

Here's an interior shot of the old St. Lawrence bakery that was once in the space that now houses Moog Audio on St-Laurent Blvd.

It was known to some as the Mean Lady's bakery because of the stern disposition of the women who worked behind the counter!
