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.

Incroyables bagels, surtout frais sortis du four avec un parfum de sésame qui donne l'eau à la bouche ! Texture moelleuse & possibilité d'ajouter du fromage à la crème pour encore plus de saveur (en supplément). Petit magasin sans places assises, mais parfait pour l'achat à emporter, ouvert 24h/24 avec un excellent rapport qualité-prix.

I walked three kilometers from downtown Montreal to Fairmount for some breakfast bagels. It was a nice walk, & absolutely worth it. Here at Fairmount you get freshly baked bagels, with cream cheese & marmalade (Bonne Maman). I enjoyed every bite of the bagels I took. Nice consistency, soft interior, & perfect with the toppings. Prices are amazing, service friendly. Card payment from 10$. Sensational, & must for every bagel lover visiting Montreal!

I don't really understand the hype. The sesame bagel was pretty flavorless. If you want cream cheese you have to buy a large container, way more than you need for one bagel. I didn't see butter anywhere. $1.25 for a flavorless bagel with no butter or cream cheese is not a good deal. The service was pretty unenthusiastic. The employees didn't really seem like they wanted to be there. It's a tiny store. With five people waiting to order it was pretty cramped inside. Personally I have no need to go back & recommend skipping it.

De très bons produits mais 2 passages dans ce magasin avec les 2 fois un accueil déplorable. La prochaine fois, j'irai chez les concurrents.

They have a variety of flavours to choose from, & their bagels were so delicious & chewy! The only drawbacks are that the shop is so small & they accept only cash.
