The Bagel House

What is The Bagel House? The Bagel House at 1548 Bayview Avenue is the flagship wood-fired Montreal bagel bakery in Toronto's Leaside neighborhood. Founded by veteran bagel bakers Satov and Mo, who brought genuine Montreal boiling-and-baking traditions to the city, this 24/7 bakehouse remains an essential Toronto food pilgrimage site where sweet wood smoke greets visitors at all hours.

The Bagel House Menu & What to Order Bagels are rolled by hand, poached in sweet honey-water kettles, and baked on long wooden planks directly over hardwood coals inside a roaring brick oven. The hot Sesame and Poppyseed bagels are unmatched straight from the fire, especially when spread with house-whipped cream cheese (plain, scallion, lox, or jalapeño). The classic Lox Sandwich stacks cured smoked salmon, cream cheese, tomatoes, and red onions on a warm bagel, while the Montreal Smoked Meat sandwich arrives piled high with mustard on rye bagels. Don't leave without crispy potato latkes and apple strudels.
