"For those who live on the South Shore or who don’t mind taking a bit of a detour in the name of carbs, a Brossard Bagel is as legit as any Montreal bagel out there. Opened in the early 2000s as an off-Island alternative to the famed bagel stops in Montreal proper, Brossard Bagel has become an area favourite for the traditional hand-rolled, honey-boiled bagels this city is so well-known for. There are 15 sweet and savoury flavours to choose from — including coconut, carrot and raisin, and all-dressed — each hand-rolled, baked in-house, and served fresh." - Mallory Frayn
