Quebec City, Quebec, Canada

'Bel Gaufre' is a chain of eateries in Quebec, but bagels seem to be more popular here than gaufres. Gaufre, in French, comes from the same root as wafer, in English. It means waffle. Bagel is a Yiddish word from a German root meaning ring (originally, 'to bend'). [2005]
