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.

Just a great place of history. Opened 24-7. The bagels are iconically Montreal.

We hit this joint & the other bagel place in the same day. These bagels are fine. It's a very in/out hurry up vibe. Bagels were okay. They had samples at the counter to try the fun flavors before buying them.

A famous spot in Montreal. Why should you choose between them & St-Viateur, try both. Their bagels are excellent, you do have to try various flavours. I love the multigrain ones. There is often a lineup, but that are fast. You will not wait too long. No place to eat there. Take out only.
