Yes, Bagel House is good. Until I swung by their Bayview location a year or two ago (upon reading a recommendation here on urbantoronto, I believe), I was quite jaded by people here in Toronto claiming to have found great Montreal-style bagels, only for me to discover later that they were the same damn Kaiser buns with a hole in the middle that way too many people in this city think is a good bagel.
Jeez, tell me about it! A bagel should not be a round piece of white bread! Bagel House is decent and heads and shoulders above anything else in this city and we're lucky to have them. Hopefully they open a location downtown.
Still, look at the crap we have to deal with when some ignorant fool touts the virtues of Toronto bagels to Montrealers.
The article says the Leafs can use Toronto bagels as practice pucks. In my experience, that's a better description of Montreal bagels... Toronto bagels are better used as soft, fluffy pillows!
