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!

Fairmont Bagel: A Classic Montreal Icon Delivered Fresh & Hot
?If you want the quintessential Montreal bagel experience, Fairmont Bagel is an absolute must-visit.
?We were lucky enough to grab a sesame seed bagel straight from the wood-fired oven, & eating it while still warm was pure magic. The exterior had that signature light crisp, while the inside maintained the perfect chewy, dense bite. We paired it with a simple spread of plain cream cheese, & the combination was subtle, fresh, & deeply satisfying.
?Compared to St-Viateur, Fairmont's bagels feel slightly less sweet, allowing the nuttiness of the roasted sesame seeds & the rich flavor of the wood-fired bake to really shine through.
?There's something special about grabbing a hot bagel right off the wooden plank in a bakery that's been honing its craft since 1919. Unpretentious, iconic, & delicious-don't skip this spot when in the Mile End!

A small, no-frills bagel shop, but definitely one of the most famous spots for bagels in Montreal. The bagels are fresh, chewy, & delicious. Definitely a must-try when you're in Montreal! 🥯

Another legendary spot i had to check out.

Met an ol fella from Montreal shortly before my trip & he made it very clear this was a must. We made sure this was our last stop before making the trek back to NB, as we wanted fresh bagels for home.
I grabbed a bag of'yesterdays bagels', seemingly the best option if you want a large variety. I believe we got 18 bagels & a very nice assortment. My favorite was the blueberry vanilla.

While inside a customer who could clearly tell we were tourists leaned in & told me to order a fresh sesame seed bagel out of the oven with butter, & im so glad he did. Aside from cosmos this was one of the best things I had the chance to try while in Montreal.

I even brought back half a dozen bagels for the ol fella that suggested I go there.

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.
