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.

Un classique de Montréal qui se doit d'être visité.
Un endroit où je ne fais pas de détour pour aller mais où je m'arrête chaque fois que je suis dans le coin.
Petit comptoir à bagel (+ saumon , tartinades...)
Toujours aussi bon
Miam! je viens de découvrir le bozo bagel, plus gros (trop pour moi) mais on goûte mieux à la pâte que dans les petits bagels (parfois assez petits )
Le personnel est toujours correct , rarement accueillant & chaleureux.
Selon les moments de la journée , il peut y avoir de longues files qui avancent quand même assez vite.
Minimum 10$ pour utiliser une carte.
Petit endroit exigu pour commander , pas d'espace pour consomme

Bagels moins bons qu'avant & deviennent secs vite. Prix très élevés comparativement aux compétiteurs. Je suis déçue.

Favourite bagel spot in Montreal. Fun new flavours just added, but Cranberry & Tomato/Olive are my top 2.

Checked this place out on a Montréal food tour. 3 people, 3 bagels. Mine was a plain sweet bagel. It was hard like a really stale cracker that would break your teeth. The other two were relatively normal but nothing special. Skip it.

Les bagels sont bons & la qualité est au rendez vous.
Le personnel est très sympathique & pour une première nous aiguille bien.

À faire si vous aimez les bagels.

Le seul bémol, l'absence sur place pour manger.
