B&B Empire Bistro

Authentic Montreal-style Bagels made fresh daily in our wood-fired brick oven.

B&B Empire is a manufacturer of Montreal-style bagels situated in Brooklyn, New York.The Montreal bagel is a distinctive variety of hand-made and wood-fired baked bagel. In contrast to the New York-style bagel, the Montreal bagel is smaller, 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 a wood-fired oven, whose irregular flames give it a dappled light-and-dark surface color.
