Being from a Jewish family and also originally from Melbourne, L had not had a good bagel since moving to Queensland 5 years ago. We read on Miss Morags Morsels that LaVosh patisserie definitely had the best bagels in Brisbane, being authentically made (boiled first and then baked). The original Red Hill location was difficult for us to get to though, so when I heard the news that a new LaVosh deli had opened in the Anzac Square arcade food court, we wanted to go and have bagels immediately!
Bagels there are sold separately to take home, or come pre-prepared with meats and salads, or you can make your own combination up. There are also plenty of sweet goodies available as well, including macaroons and little petit fours.
L had a smoked salmon poppyseed bagel with capers, cream cheese, onion and rocket, whilst mine had pastrami, rocket, tomato, cheese and a nice relish.
We also grabbed another poppyseed bagel and a jalapeno flavoured bagel to take home. We ate these the next day for breakfast with cream cheese and ham.
The bagels were great, very dense and chewy as they should be.
We couldn't resist a couple of petit fours, a little lemon meringue and a white chocolate ganache. Both were so delicious, but the meringue was quite runny and not set.
LaVosh is a great place to grab a healthy bagel lunch (if you don't indulge in the sweets that is!), and if you are after Brisbanes closest thing to an authentic bagel, this is it.
Love,
C
Thanks for this post. I work virtually opposite Anzac Sq but never go into the food court. I am moving jobs in a few weeks, outside the CBD so I may never have ever found out about this place. I'll be there this week!
