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.

Best bagel in the city! There often is a lineup during the day, it is worth the wait. My favourite is a warm, freshly made sesame bagel, but the onion bagel is also delicious!

On pensait qu'on pouvait prendre des sandwichs sur place, ce n'est pas le cas. Cet établissement vend les bagels uniquement, & des petites portions individuelles de cream cheese à étaler dessus.
C'est dommage pour nous, on aurait dû prévoir, mais les bagels étaient bons néanmoins

Really good bagels, made fresh. The staff is friendly & helpful. All the bagel options are sooooo good. There was a very steady flow of people coming in & out of Fairmont which is also a good sign how good these bagels are. Seeing the pay phone inside was cool. Didn't know those still exist lol

these bagels are so, so good! don’t expect to go in & have them make a sandwich for you. DO expect an authentic, delicious bagel that you might have to wait in a pretty long line for. it moves fast, though, & it’s worth it!
