After a dozen years in business, the Penullar family is bringing its beloved Montreal-style bagels to a new area of the city.
"In the Philippines, there's no bagels," laughs Hazel Penullar, who, in 2013, opened Bagels on Fire with her husband, Julio.
"We saw that there weren't a lot of bagel shops that sell Montreal-style bagels in Toronto," explains Penullar.
A fourth location will be opening this summer in Liberty Village.
Bagels on Fire Café Liberty Village will welcome diners this summer.
