    What To Expect

    This Montrel baking-making workshop experience is an intimate one you won’t soon forget. Meet in the designated meeting location in the city—your guide takes you up to their home for your class. Plus, this experience is limited to just 10 travelers for a fun, special time.

    Once inside the home, your guide gets you set up at a station at the main table so you can get hands on while learning how to make delicious bagels. Some basics you walk away knowing are how to knead the bagel dough, how to use your favorite seasonings for your bagels, and what’s the difference between flour varieties.

    After your bagels bake, enjoy the fruits of your labor as you taste your bagels.

    This Montreal cooking class ends back at the meeting location with the rest of your day free to spend as you like.

    I had so much at this class! I met really awesome people and the host was fantastic. He kept us engaged throughout the whole experience, and made sure we all got comfortable with each other. It is a very hands-on experience, and I appreciated learning about what makes Montreal bagels so unique. As a NYC native, it was especially great to banter about which city's bagel is the best! The bagels were warm and delicious; and it was great that we made extra to take home as well. I wanted to try a cooking class in another city, and this class exceeded my expectations. I absolutely recommend it!

    Fun and Different

    Abby_I, Apr 2026
    Will made bagel making fun and easy! Look no further, this is a must do! We enjoyed our morning learning how to make bagels. It was simple and easy to do and the bagels turned out so good. We can't wait to make bagels at home now that you know how easy and fun it can be.

    Enjoyed the class. It was upbeat, entertaining and informative. I met some other travelers and enjoyed bagels!

    Do it!

    paulette_r, Apr 2026
    It was a very fun experience for kids tweenish and up as well as adults. the group we were with included some solo travelers who seemed to be enjoying themselves too Parking around the venue seems a little limited in both spaces and timed parking so ubering over might be the way to go. Closest metro at Laurier was about 15 minutes away on flat ground in a well traveled area so that’s another option only water to drink so if you need more plan in advance

    Great time!!!!

    Scott_A, Jan 2026
    This was a highlight of my Montréal trip. The instructor was funny and informative. It was great opportunity for some social interaction with the other students for this solo traveler. Also, the satisfaction of eating fresh bagels that you just helped to make can’t be understated. Also, I found that this recipe made a more flavorful bagel than the ones I got from either of the twin giants of the Montreal bagel scene. Plus, you get to take a printed recipe home with you.

    Great school trip!

    Amazing and unique Montreal experience

    Bryce_A, Dec 2025
    This class is so great we've done it twice! You've got to book this if you're heading to Montreal. The instructor is friendly and funny. The class itself is easy - anyone can do it. The bagels are absolutely delicious - I could eat them all day.

    Perfect activity - highly recommended!

    Holly_D, Nov 2025
    This bagel making experience was fun and entertaining! Will, the host, was very personable and funny. You leave with three fresh, warm bagels and the knowledge of how to make them.

    Wonderful Will!

    A fun little Sunday morning class. Will was entertaining and brought some levity to bagel making business 😉 We thoroughly enjoyed it!

    A fun and wildly delicious time!

    Sharon_M, Oct 2025
    We had such a good time in this bagel making class. The instructor, Will was the best; knowledgeable, friendly, patient and funny. The Montreal bagels we made were delicious and that is coming from a born and bred Jewish New Yorker. You must take this class!

    Bagel making fun

    Colleen_S, Oct 2025
    We had the best time!! The instructor was funny and engaging. He took the time to explain the why. We appreciate that so much.

    The highlight of our trip!

    Erin_G, Sep 2025
    Our group of three thoroughly enjoyed this 2 hour Bagel Class. Will was entertaining and an excellent teacher. Our class had about 12 people. His recipe was delicious and I thought maybe even better than the two famous Montreal bagel makers! We bought aprons and some of the magic ingredient to try to duplicate the recipe at home. We recommend this class to all who visit Montreal.

    Authentic Montreal experience!

    Bobbi_A, Sep 2025
    Amazing experience! We enjoyed learning to make authentic Montreal bagels with Will - he was engaging, knowledgeable, and fun! A true pro. I would highly recommend this event to anyone visiting Montreal.
