I want to share with you a journey we make about once a month. It's a pilgrimage of sorts, because it takes us to a place where we get the best bagels in Sydney: Glick's Bagels . The reason for this is simple - my wife is American and she knows a good bagel when she tastes one, having spent 25 years of her life in New York.

After being disappointed at the quality of some of the bagels around Sydney over the years, a friend put us onto Glick's, where the bagels are boiled in the traditional way, unlike many poorer imitations.

Located on busy Bondi Road, Glick's is one of those "blink and you'll miss it" kind of shops, especially if you're driving. But the locals flock in on Sunday mornings to pick up the freshest and tastiest bagels you're likely to find this side of the Pacific. Whether it's a standard sesame or poppy seed bagel, or a more exotic "everything" bagel (our favourite), which is coated in all the seeds under the sun, it's hard to go wrong with any of the dozen or so choices.

But the culinary pleasures don't stop there. Glick's also has a great range of biscuits and pastries on offer, and if you want to grab a table, you might like to sample some traditional Jewish fare, such as a cheese blintz (thin pancake) or a latke (potato cake).

After raiding Glick's for a selection of goodies, we usually make our way down Bondi Road to Bondi Beach, or even nearby Bronte if things are a bit busy. A spot on the grass in the sun gorging on Glick's finest bagels (usually with a smear of home-made vegetable cream cheese) is one of our favourite Sunday morning pastimes. Once we've eaten our fill and had a gentle stroll along the beach, we reluctantly make our way home again. But we also know it won't be long before the lure of a good bagel draws us back to Bondi.
