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.

Long wait, Bagels are not super fresh & warm like I had expected. They do not take credit cards & the staff are not super helpful at all. Overall, I was happy to have experienced it, I would shop here regularly if I lived in the are, a good business t open near here would be a cafe with toasters & tables to use to eat your bagel. The bagel was amazing though.

Their fresh chewy sesame bagel & the smoked salmon from New Victoria fish is a best marriage

⭐?⭐? Deux étoiles

Je vais chez Fairmount Bagel depuis 10 ans, mais malheureusement, la qualité n'est plus au rendez-vous. Les prix ont explosé - 15 $ pour 12 bagels - & en plus, ils sont maintenant deux fois plus petits qu'avant. Le service a perdu de son charme & l'ambiance qui rendait l'endroit spécial a disparu. Grosse déception… Je pense que ce sera ma dernière visite.
