The Montreal-style bagel or Montreal bagel (sometimes beigel; Yiddish: בײגל, romanized: beygl; French: Bagel de Montréal) is a distinctive variety of handmade and wood-fired baked bagel. In contrast to the New York-style bagel, the Montreal bagel is smaller, thinner, sweeter, and denser, with a larger hole, and is always baked in a wood-fired oven. It contains malt, egg, and no salt, and is boiled in honey-sweetened water before being baked.
In some Montreal establishments, bagels are still produced by hand and baked in full view of the patrons. There are two predominant varieties: black seed (poppy seed) or white seed (sesame seed).
