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.

Google takes you to the bulk bagel location. The cafe is directly across the street. I enjoyed the firm outside & soft inside. I might not be a bagel connoisseur, but they were excellent bagels.

Bagels were FAB. Great experience for other tourists looking to engage in the Montreal culture. Didn't know that you had to apply the cream cheese to one's own bagel, however, it ended up being OK. We got a bonut (with the cream cheese on top in the pic). you can only use cash or debit cards if you're from the US.

Don't go here for just a one off bagel. Unless it's sesame seed. There's a cafe across the street that makes sandwiches with the bagels. So good.

Les meilleurs bagels de Montréal. Impossible de ne pas en manger un tout chaud direct sur le trottoir a la sortie du magasin.

A classic bagel spot if you want those authentic Montreal style bagels, but they also have some unique flavors that you won't find elsewhere. The staff are really friendly & helpful so I highly recommend it!
