OUR hISTORY

At Les Cafés VP Inc., we have been developing concepts and franchising our brands on a local, national and international scale for over 25 years opening over 150 locations. Our team of professionals has a vast amount of experience in concept development, site selection, construction & design. We focus on product quality, training and overall operations to maximize sales and profitability.
The Montreal Bagel Factory opened company owned locations, perfected the concept and began franchising the brand in 2014.

​

Being a very multicultural city, Montréal’s food scene was built largely by immigrants. Eastern Europeans who settled in Montréal brought their culinary customs, the biggest contribution to the city’s gastronomic identity being Montreal Bagels.

​

In 2014, we began our journey to create a Montreal Bagel Concept, honoring the unique taste & quality that makes Montreal Bagels famous around the world. Our challenge was that the original bagel producers used wood-fired ovens that are now illegal, and lets’ face it, not eco-friendly!

So how do we create an eco-friendly baking process to respect and manufacture the authentic Montreal Bagel to be enjoyed everywhere we open a location?

We hired the best bagel production people in the city and after several years of testing we created a unique production process using time-honored recipes and a unique cooking process eliminating the need for wood burning ovens!

Then we built our own bagel production facility to make sure our Bagels were made to perfection and can be distributed to franchised locations, taking the expensive equipment and technical production process out of franchisee’s investment and simplifying operations.
