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.

Nous avons testé les deux « meilleurs » fabricants de bagels de Montréal : les bagels de saint viateur bagels & ceux de fairmount bagel
Verdict : les bagels de FAIRMOUNT BAGEL l’emportent haut la main !!!!
Ils sont beaucoup plus goûteux plus moelleux & il y a beaucoup plus de choix que ceux de ST.VIATEUR!!! ( le dernier achat à ST VIATEUR : 2 douzaines diverses : secs & pas la moindre trace de sel : aucun goût)
A FAIRMOUNT BAGEL on prend le temps de vous expliquer les différents bagels on vous conseille & surtout surtout en plus de la haute qualité de leurs bagels : l’accueil !!!
A ST VIATEUR l’accueil est ultra froid ultra commercial
Le succès étant là aucun effort n’est donné à l’accueil
Alors en conclusion : plus de bagels à ST VIATEUR plys jamais
Désormais ce sera à chaque séjour à Montréal les bagels de FAIRMOUNT

PS : goûté ceux aux bleuets !!!!! Une tuerie

Before I left Montreal, I needed to try these. When I got there, the line wasn’t as long & it moved pretty quickly. I went in & got a dozen bagels (blueberry, sesame, whole wheat & all dressed). I was also recommended the cream cheese (original) with the salmon spread. As I got to the airbnb, I gave it a try. It’s soft & thin - nothing compared to American bagels. When it’s toasted even better. I sliced each one & frozen them up. I have a good amount in my freezer.

Dommage que certains bagels soient sec, ça gâche tout le goût & la fraîcheur. Quand on en mange un "chaud"/frais ça n'a rien a voir.

I'm basing myself on the only 2 bagels we tried. The everything bagel & the garlic one. Honestly they were slightly hard & stale. I have the feeling they're not the ones they sell the most so not the freshest. The everything bagel tasted mainly of fennel which I hate & the other tasted like bitter burned garlic. Im sure the sesame bagel is amazing but for now St-Viateur is still my fave.
