About

Fairmount Bagel Bakery produces iconic Montreal-style bagels through a traditional wood-fired oven process that ensures a distinctively crisp exterior and a dense, chewy interior. Each bagel is hand-rolled and boiled in honey-infused water before being baked on wooden planks to achieve a signature golden hue. The menu centers on these hand-crafted rings, which are available in classic varieties like sesame, poppy seed, and everything. Patrons often pair these fresh creations with high-quality cream cheese, smoked salmon, or capers available for purchase. The bakery functions as an essential purveyor of local culinary heritage, maintaining long-standing techniques that define the regional bagel profile. By focusing strictly on artisanal baking methods, the establishment remains a cornerstone for those seeking authentic, high-quality products that prioritize texture and flavor above all else.

Review Summary

Fairmount Bagel Bakery is widely celebrated as an iconic Montreal institution, famous for its fresh, wood-fired bagels that feature a signature dense, chewy texture and a hint of sweetness. Visitors frequently praise the experience of eating them hot straight out of the oven, noting that the shop offers a variety of flavors and a charming, traditional atmosphere. While many reviewers consider these to be the best bagels in the city and a must-visit destination, others point to the limited payment options, specifically the policy of accepting only cash or Canadian debit, as a potential inconvenience. Experiences with service appear mixed, with some guests encountering friendly and helpful staff while others report feeling rushed or finding the environment less welcoming to tourists. Despite the lack of indoor seating and occasional long queues, most patrons find the quality and unique history of the establishment well worth the stop.

Le bagel was nothing to write home about, if I'm being honest. I may be spoiled having lived my whole life next to Manhattan. Their bagels are really small & I was surprised when I asked for a bagel with butter & I was handed a bagel & a mini plastic tub of butter. I won't deduct a star because I guess that's just the Montreal style of bagel. The lady behind the counter was really nice & when you walk in you can tell why the joint has been around for so long, just like that Wilensky's place. It was a good experience, though. Just not my style of 🥯

I spent $69 on bagels & one container of cream cheese. I asked the girl if my cream cheese was in the bagel. She smiled & said yes. At home I see no cream cheese in the bagel. Great bagels. Pretty smile. No cream cheese in the bag. Wait! An update. I found the cream cheese - under the front seat of my car.
