Fairmount Bagel Bakery

Fairmount Bagel has been around since 1919 & was Montreal's first bagel bakery. It's always busy, with people lining up for its famous Montreal-style bagels, which are still handmade & baked in a wood-fired oven. Everything is fresh & delicious-the warm bagels are definitely worth the wait!

As a native New Yorker, my standards for bagels are very high. I understand that the Montreal style is its own thing, but I feel that the hype around these bagels is just a bit more than it should be. With that said, the bagels are consistent & tasty, with a sweeter dough than some others. The all-dressed is the way to go here, to balance that sweetness with savory. Definitely worth stopping by, but don't lose sleep if you skip it when the line is too long (though it does move fast!)

Fairmount Bagel is an absolute must-visit! As an American visiting Montreal for the first time recently, I was told repeatedly that I had to make a stop here. To be honest, I am not really a bagel person-it has probably been about 15 years since I last had one-so I am certainly not in the best position to compare them to what we have back in the United States. However, this place was genuinely fantastic. I picked up a blueberry bagel & a garlic bagel, & I ate both just as they were without any spread. They were absolutely delicious. The shop itself features a very small indoor space packed with character & plenty of great options to choose from. There is no seating inside, so I simply enjoyed mine standing out front on the sidewalk, which was totally fine & part of the experience. The staff at the counter were wonderful & nice, & the prices were very reasonable. I will definitely be coming back the next time I am in town!

Great little shop with helpful staff. Get the bagel by the piece. Need a sandwich, simple, go across the street to their cafe.
