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.

Au niveau de la nourriture, le fairmount & ses bagels sont une institution & sont réellement délicieux.
Cependant, il y a un gros problème au niveau de la gestion des commandes. Attendre 40 min pour 8 bagels, déjà c'est long. En plus que lors de l'attente, d'autres personnes sont servies en priorité car elles n'ont que un ou deux bagels. Cela allonge le temps d'attente & défavorise les groupes.

I didn't know bagels tasted this good without cream cheese. I tried the sesame bagel which was fresh & warm.

The NY Pretzel is just incredible but you are just an inconvenience to them.

The first time we asked for vegan cream cheese (my bad I thought it was a different shop that had it on their menu) & just got grunted at. Ok, that's on me for mixing it up.

Second time we just asked for the pretzels, in French & paid. No questions no requests just a straight forward ask, pay & out. Still just got grunted at.

So amazing bagels but I have no idea what it takes for them to be polite about it.
