"We’ve watched Belle’s grow from a small takeout window into a full-service Jewish deli, and it’s been very rewarding. That’s mostly because the bagel menu at this Highland Park spot kept getting bigger, and we’re unabashed fans. These double-fermented bagels have a distinct complex aroma that sets them apart from the competition. They’re also a big part of why Belle’s bagel sandwiches are our favorite way to start the morning in NELA, especially the Shelskey with pastrami-smoked lox, sweet “fancy” relish, and a splat of punchy deli mustard." - sylvio martins, arden shore, garrett snyder, cathy park
