There are three types of bagels. Montreal, New York, and bread baked in a ring everywhere else. Montreal bagels are by far the best, boiled in water with a bit of honey and baked in a wood fired oven.
I am from Montreal, my wife and I went to visit and we packed an extra suitcase and filled it with 13 dozen and a brisket from Rueben's. The place on Elbow and Heritage is right up there with Bagel St. Viateur and Fairmount.
