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 authentic, wood-fired bagels that are prized for their perfect balance of a crispy exterior, chewy interior, and subtle honey-sweetness. Many visitors consider these to be the best bagels in the world, often recommending that guests enjoy them fresh and warm directly from the oven while wandering the neighborhood. While the establishment is frequently busy and limited in space, most patrons find the experience of watching the hand-rolling process and sampling the diverse variety of flavors to be well worth the wait. Although reviews occasionally mention mixed experiences with service speed, payment restrictions like cash-only or Canadian debit policies, and limited seating, the majority of visitors remain loyal to the bakery as a essential, high-quality stop in the city.

After trying a few of Montreal's famous bagel spots, this one ended up being one of my favorites. The bagel sandwich was fresh, packed with ingredients, & had a great balance of flavors.

What surprised me most was that I actually enjoyed the sandwich here more than some of the other hyped bagel shops in the city. The bagels had a great texture, & everything tasted fresh without feeling overly complicated.

If you're looking for a solid bagel sandwich in Montreal, don't overlook this place. Less hype, great food, & definitely worth a visit.

Freshly cooked bagels, straight from the oven, best in Montreal.

The bagels are amazing! They are cash or Canadian debit only, but they will take American cash.

It's hard to beat their fresh out of oven sesame bagel. That's the one to have.

Try their sweet bagels too though. You won't find too many of them in New York so you might as well try them in Montreal

To appreciate the full flavor have them without cream cheese.

Had the spicy bagel, was pretty good but still prefer NYC style. Cream cheese options are just standard Philadelphia.

Nothing beats a Fairmount bagel (or two!) in the park!
Service was quick in the early morning, we took half a dozen poppy-seed bagels to go & had fun with our cream cheese spread 🥯🌿
