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.

We went to Montreal a few years ago and picked up bagels at St. Viateur. They are fantastic but the thing that I noticed is that they do not keep very well. Fresh/same day they are great. The next morning they are still decent but anything beyond that the bagels seemed pretty terrible.
