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.

Always busy. Authentic Montreal bagel. They still use wood fired stove which imparts a slight smoked flavor.

Very cool to see , the wood stove was really cool. We got the sesame & the everything bagels. The everything was really good & tasted differently than another bagel shop we were at,I liked the everything bagel better here. Wish there was a little spot to eat your food inside but it's a bakery & still worth getting!

Très très petit endroit, pas beaucoup de place pour circuler, on ne peut pas manger sur place, c'est des bagels sans garniture. Attention ils ne prennent pas les cartes bancaires internationales, il faut payé en liquide

Finally tried Fairmount bagel. It lived up the hype. The store is tiny yet full of character. The staff were nice & friendly. The bagels are delicious! We had St Viateur's bagels before. So we were wondering which one tasted better. We bought st viateur's bagels (which is around 5 min walk) to do a blind test. :D Fairmount's are slightly sweeter & firmer. They are also slightly smaller compared to St Viateur's. Eventually st viateurs won 2:1 after our voting :) but that doesn't mean fairmount bagels are worse. They are both good with their own characters. We will continue to get both bagels & debate which one tastes better for the foreseeable future:D
