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 destination, cherished for its authentic, wood-fired bagels that offer a signature chewy texture and a subtle, satisfying sweetness. Many visitors describe the experience as a must-try highlight, noting that enjoying a bagel warm and fresh directly from the oven is a truly magical experience. The shop is praised for its historical character and the wide variety of flavors available, ranging from classic sesame to adventurous options like blueberry or pina colada. While the space is compact and primarily designed for quick service rather than dine-in, guests frequently highlight the efficiency of the staff and the joy of grabbing a fresh, delicious treat to enjoy while exploring the neighborhood.

Quoi dire qui n'a pas été dit... On dira ce qu'on voudra, mais ce sont le meilleurs bagels, point! De plus, rien de mieux que de passer en fin de soirée & de manger au bagel tout chaud en marchant sans but...

One of the original bagel places in the city that serve up fresh baked Montreal style bagels. Bagels were nice & warm & had great chew, the signature bite of a Montreal style bagel. It's pretty cramped inside at the cashier so make sure you have a good idea of what you want so you don't take up time & space.

They are GREAT!

The Pina Colada bagel was AMAZING! (It wasn't in the photo-I didn't see that side of the board from outside.)

If it's your first time, we suggest getting a sesame bagel (or another classic flavor) along with something more adventurous like the Pina Colada. Don't worry-you'll have no problem finishing both while walking a few blocks around Montreal.

Coming from Florida, we've always heard that New York has the best bagels. After eating these, there is absolutely no comparison. Fairmount Bagel has completely changed our minds.

Fresh, delicious, & worth the visit!

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.
