Kettlemans Bagel opening first Quebec location

Montreal – Kettlemans Bagel announced it will open its first location in Quebec in downtown Montreal in January 2023.

“Bringing Kettlemans home to Montreal where I grew up is a moment I have looked forward to for a long, long time,” said founder Craig Buckley. “It is incredibly exciting to be joining Montreal’s world-class food scene and sharing our unique menu of delicious house-made cream cheeses and deli selections built around our Montreal bagels that honour a 400-year-old tradition.”

The shop specializes in sandwiches on hand-rolled Montreal bagels. Kettlemans'”No Wall Experience” open kitchen invites everyone who comes in, 24/7, 365 days a year, to watch as fresh bagels are hand rolled, kettled, and baked in a specially designed oven.

Buckley opened the first Kettlemans Bagel in Ottawa in 1993 and has grown the business to seven locations in Ottawa, Toronto, and Whitby, Ont.
