The Bagel Class Presents : Montreal Bagel Making Workshop!

This is a great excursion when you are in Montreal. The class was full and everyone appeared to very much enjoy it!

Location a bit difficult to find. Pull hard on the door - don’t need to be buzzed in. Instructor was funny, kind and helpful. Some didn’t like his humor but his jokes are what made it fun and he wasn’t meaning to offend anybody. Loved it. Kind of wish we got to eat our own bagels we made, but everybodies was mixed together - unable to boil them individually - not practical.

Well organized, nothing tricky, easy to follow, just the right length of time-not too long, not rushed. Will explained a lot of the “why” of things. End result was delicious. *a note if you need any kind of mobility help: inquire about the proper entrance to the building. There is an entrance to this large building with a ramp and a service elevator which was not clearly marked.

Easy to follow directions for a tasty treat. Instructor was friendly and fun. Thank-you for a unique experience

Great fun. Will was engaging, funny and gave clear instructions and demonstrations to the bagel making. He was helpful and kind. Bagels were delicious and we took home the recipe. Able to purchase the malt powder too!

Will was great and the class was fun and interactive. He taught you the process from start to eating.

A wonderful time making delicious bagels and learning about the process! Will was very funny and a wonderful teacher.

We had a great time. Will the instructor is very personable and explains things really well. We will be using his recipe (and the malt powder) to make Montreal style bagels at home

Thoroughly enjoyed making bagels with Will. The class was recommended by friends and did not disappoint. Highly recommend getting there 15 minutes early to get settled and ready to go.

Fun teacher. Get finished bagels to take with you Something really different would highly recommend!!

We have done a lot of cooking experiences on our holidays. This was one of my favourite. Super organized . The instructor was engaged and funny. Directions to get there simple. Opportunity to meet new people and chat. Bagels were delicious!! Highly recommend

Such a nice, atypical experience and the bagels at the end were amazing!

Let me start by saying the Bagel Class was so fun! And yummy. And incredibly well run. We would definitely do this again. We started with an overview of Montréal bagels (and a few good natured jokes about how they are better than New York bagels, of course), followed by a step by step demonstration of how to make our dough. We each had our own work station and made enough dough for 3 bagels. The recipe was easy to follow and the instructor stopped by regularly to make sure it was all coming together properly. While the bagels were boiling and baking, we mingled with the rest of the class and then got to dig in! The bagels were perfect. Warm and crispy, slightly sweet. So glad we had skipped breakfast so we were able to eat more. My only word of advice is that the Uber maps take you to the wrong address, so have your driver use Google unless you want a 15 minute walk from where Uber thinks the building is and where it actually is. This happened to a couple of us in the class. Thankfully the class itself was so awesome that it didn’t matter. If you enjoy baking - or eating. You will definitely love this class.

Will was informative and made the class fun. We made the bagels with our own hands and they tasted great like Montreal bagels should.! Will’s sense of humour kept us entertained. I think I will be able to replicate these bagels at home!!!

While a bit peripherally located, it is a good ocasion to combine with the stroll on Boulevard Mont-Royale. The course was really fun, Mike is a wonderful entertainer connecting immediately with all. It was a great mix of education, joking, integrating peoples stories. Instructions were clear, educating. And the bagles were super tasty. Actually, it was my first time to taste really fresh bagels. I left very happy, with the receipe, some key ingredients you can buy onsite, and a full tummy.

Super fun and approachable class, great for all ages. We took our teenagers and our 9-year old and all were happy. Bagels were delicious.

This class was so much fun! Will is a great teacher and keeps everyone engaged with his jokes and stories. And the bagels we made were delicious!! Highly recommend.

My wife and I had a GREAT time at the class and found Will to be very friendly, informative, and engaging. I saw some reviews from years ago that reference a home kitchen, rest assured this was in a commercial space in the old Cadbury Factory building which has been refurbished into very cool loft spaces. Plenty of bathrooms, great cleaning practices with washing sink in the kitchen where we were baking. My wife was a little apprehensive about taking our first cooking/baking class but were very happy with how it went. Totally approachable class for anyone with no experience right up to experienced baking, but wanting to learn the nuances of Montreal bagels and the differences between other bagels. This class totally removed intimidation we had with making bagels and now we're ready to go crazy and try for ourselves at home.

Highly recommend this experience for anyone visiting Montreal! Will is extremely knowledgeable and does a wonderful job at making the class fun and engaging.

We had a great time making bagels. They were delicious. My recommendation to the host would be having coffee/juice and butter/jam/cream cheese. Even if you have to charge a little extra. I normally don't eat my bagels plain.

My husband and I had a lovely time at this class. Our instructor did a great job at taking the class through the steps while also explaining why things were done a certain way. The bagels were very tasty, too.

The entire experience was great! The host was fun and the bagels we baked were delicious!! Definitely glad we booked the class.

Will was very entertaining and we wound up with delicious bagels to take back with us. This was one of everyone’s top tours on our visit. Highly recommended.

Had a great time learning about Montreal bagels and how to make them. And we walked away with delicious bagels.

Great for kids. Will is excellent, funny and does a great job explaining technique. Would highly recommend this experience!

Very fun experience for the family

This was such a fun activity! Instructor was very knowledgeable, funny and extremely organized!! Loved everything about this and bagels were SO YUMMY!

Fun experience. Everyone in class seemed to be enjoying it. The owner, Will, added nice touch of humor to explaining everything in detail. This was one of the best experiences we have ever had on a Viator tour. We even bought the ingredients to make numerous batches of bagels once we get home. Highly recommend.

Fun class. Teacher was informative and helpful. He was funny and made the experience a pleasure.

Fun time with a great instructor. Loved it so much!

We came with friends, and all of us thoroughly enjoyed the class. Very good time -- and worth the money. Will was able to teach to multiple ages simultaneously and added a good deal of humor to the process. He has simplified the process so literally anyone can do it -- even with no baking experience. He had all the paraphernalia there for sale if you wanted it. The bagels were hot and delicious, and he handed out the hard-copy recipe at the end. We will definitely bake them at home for our family. Thumbs up!

Learning ingredients of Montreal Bagels with hands on experience. Fun and informative. I recommend this experience.

Super fun, hands-on experience. Easy for beginners and delicious treats at the end. My son and I had a blast and instructor Will was entertaining and knowledgeable. Now I can make delicious Montréal bagels at home in California! 💕💕

Fun class. A terrific teacher. Will was engaging, humorous and knowledgeable. Was an easy way to learn how to bake.

Such a fun and memorable part of our trip to Montreal. We highly recommend it!

What a great experience! Will is funny and engaging. He made an effort to connect with everyone in the class - 20 people! He gave great instruction and he was easy to follow. The bagels were very good and I did buy a bit of the “secret ingredient” so I can try them at home and I’d wager they’ll be even better with my SE PA water! ;) I would highly recommend this class!

Excellent class! Will is a great teacher and has a fantastic sense of humor. The class was engaging, informative, and we made the most delicious bagels. Highly recommend it to anyone visiting Montreal!

Will was a great chef instructor made the class super simple and easy. Very clean and organized. Was nice to have good conversations with him and other people.

I didn’t know I needed homemade warm bagels in my life until this class. The class was informative and fun. Everyone was able to make three bagels with your choice of topping so we were able to take some home with us. This was a fun and unique experience.

This was even more amazing than I'd hoped it would be! My husband and son and I thought the teacher was fun and helpful and made the process easy.

A really fun way to learn how to do a new skill unique to Montreal. Good for beginners and advanced bakers alike, all seemed to have fun. The step by step instructions and setup were clear and made it very easy to follow. The instructor kept it light and fun while explaining the mechanics behind the ingredients and the process. Also had fun getting to know some of the other participants in the class. Best of all, you all get to share in enjoying bagels at the end!

Literally cannot recommend enough. Will was super nice and the class was very easy to follow. Yummy bagels too

Fun and delicious! Will is funny and a great teacher. Worth doing! Easy to get Uber to and from the location, too!

This class makes bagel making easy! Will was a great instructor and quite entertaining. Delicious warm bagels when you're done. A winner!

Will was a great teacher and very friendly and funny. We had an awesome time making bagels! Will made all the steps very easy and it’s cool to come home with the recipe.

This two hour class was entertaining and informative, with delicious results! Will was a tremendous host!

The class is really fun. Will is a great instructor, and the bagels tasted delicious. Would recommend.

I really did not want to leave Montreal without having the famous bagels. There is no better way than to make them yourself. Will was an engaging and easy to follow teacher--he will not allow you to fail! All of the materials you need to make the bagels is provided (including apron, bowls, scale, bench scraper, and ingredients). The workshop is well paced for all levels of baking expertise. I was there with my husband (who has been baking from the sourdough he's been nurturing for over 15 years), and we were across the table from people who had never put on an apron before. All of us enjoyed the experience. Will gave us the full recipe and had some of the items/ingredients for purchase in the shop so you can make your own bagels at home.
