When it comes to Montreal’s bagels, everyone—Dua Lipa, Nike and one of the Real Housewives alums included—can agree they are the best.
But can they be improved?
Philadelphia Cream Cheese thinks so and has a hole lot to say about it.
St-Viateur Bagel in Montreal, Utopia Bagels in New York, Steingold’s of Chicago, Starship Bagel Dallas and Rubinstein Bagels in Seattle have partnered with the cream cheese giant to create a limited time only no-hole bagel—a seamless canvas for cream cheese that promises maximum coverage called Philadelphia Bagel Wholes.
Inspired by cream cheese fans who find the hole in the middle of a traditional bagel limiting and annoying (hello, drips and spillage), the no-hole bagel is a way to stretch the shmear.
You can find Philadelphia Bagel Wholes for a limited time in-store at all five bagel shops. Fans who can’t make it in-store can purchase the bagel with Canadian nationwide shipping via Stviateurbagel.com, while supplies last.
When it comes to Montreal’s most iconic, favourite cheap eats, bagels are at the top of the list alongside the city’s poutine (just ask Madonna), smoked meat, hot dogs and burgers.
