Kettlemans Bagel opened in Ottawa in August of 1993. When the business started, our mission was to make the best bagels you could find.

By rolling, kettling, and baking traditional Montreal Bagel in a wood-burning oven using hand-picked hardwood, and maintaining an unwavering commitment to the traditional quality of the food, we have become a food institution — 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, and 365 days a year — for over 25 years. However, tradition does not mean much if the authenticity is gone.
