Breakfast bagels, fresh outta the oven!!

On Saturday, we woke up not quite so early in the morning after our ridiculously late night before and headed out to a place called Fairmont Bagels... This place is also open 24 hours and has been open since 1912 and is famous for its bagels. The bagels here are freshly baked , hand rolled, and baked in an an original brick oven with an open fire. There are two ovens constantly on the go, one oven for the various bagel flavours and the other for their signature sesame. The sesame bagels, because they are so popular, are always on the go... the benefit of that is that the sesame bagels are always fresh out of the oven and warm... they are to DIE for, I am telling you. I am totally a bread person, and try not to have it around me because I have virtually NO self control. It is a good thing I do not live near this bagel store, becuase I would eat them until I popped. Especially since they are warm, and the cream cheese melts on them. YUM... We took our bagels and headed up to Mont Royal, the "Mountain" of Montreal for a picnic breakfast. It was fantastic.



The first oven baking the various bagels... see the open flame to the left? That is the fire baking the hand rolled bagels.
