Que ce soit pour le petit déjeuner, le dîner, ou même après minuit, venir et avoir les bagels de votre choix avec ou sans garniture de votre goût, prêt à emporter.
Globalement, les avis présentent Fairmount Bagel Bakery comme une institution montréalaise où les bagels sont frais, moelleux et croustillants, cuits au four à bois et disponibles dans une grande variété comme sésame, oignon, everything, blueberry ou bozo; beaucoup les décrivent comme les meilleurs bagels de Montréal, voire du monde, avec une odeur irrésistible et le spectacle des bagels préparés sous les yeux des clients. Les bagels se dégustent chauds et peuvent être accompagnés de crème ou de saumon fumé, et le sésame et le bozo ressortent souvent parmi les préférés; certains les trouvent plus denses que les bagels de New York et apprécient leur texture chewy et leur goût légèrement sucré. Des points négatifs reviennent toutefois: le paiement est souvent en espèces ou en débit, il n’y a pas d’espace pour manger sur place et les tarifs peuvent être élevés, surtout pendant les heures d’affluence; le service est parfois critiqué pour son manque de chaleur et certaines expériences signalent des portions plus petites qu’auparavant. Dans l’ensemble, Fairmount Bagel Bakery demeure une étape incontournable pour les amateurs de bagels à Montréal, avec des saveurs distinctives et une réputation largement partagée, malgré quelques irritants logistiques.
Phenomenal bagels here, I'd say the best in Montréal! The staff clearly care about the product & treat it with care. Of course, the sesame is great, but I personally love the blueberry as well.

Alright no bagel expert here so I will give them a 5 stars based on them being the first bagel shop (1919) in Montreal. Came to this very smallish original store on Fairmount Ave, the most popular sesame bagel is 1.25CAD. WARM, smaller compared to US bagels, slight sweetness. Not bad. Then I went on to the other Montreal biggie St Viateur which personally I think it's better. BTW my hotel also serves Fairmount (6 in a plastic bag) which needed to be toasted to taste good.
LES meilleurs bagel à Montréal; la preuve ils se sont même retrouvés dans l'espace ;). Du classique sésame, multigrain ou décadent cannelle raisin, il y a de quoi se régaler.
Hot bagel thrown at you as fast as you can pay. We got both Fairmount St. Viateur sesame bagel & taste tested them & I'm giving an ever so slight win to Fairmount. If you're visiting MTL go & get hot fresh bagel.
I am not a bagel person but when I went to Montreal, I know I gotta try their bagel. I was hungry after walking & decided that day was the day I will eat a carb full meal! I decided to go to Fairmount Bagel. There a long line leading to this ordinary looking building. Also, I found out that they don't serve bagel sandwiches so I was disappointed. I almost gave up but the guy in front of me said I'm in the right place. I'm glad I listened. I asked the guy at the counter if he could slice 1 bagel for me, he said no. But he offered to give me a knife. So I decided to buy 1 bagel (sesame seeds, his suggestion) & one of their special spread & sat in a bench outside. I also found out that he gave me a small cream cheese (how thoughtful). I was in love (with the bagel) on my first bite! My mouth is watering while doing this review. The bagel was warm with a hint of sweetness & saltiness, soft inside but firm & toasty outside. I am a convert! I like bagel now. My regret is I should have brought some home. Now back in Vancouver & craving their bagel. I also tired other bagel shops but I swear Fairmount bagel is the best.

Fairmount bagel is a great place to get a Montréal Bagel! I am no Montreal bagel expert, I must say; but I do know a good bagel when I have one! They do not offer toasted bagels, which I was surprised about; but the sesame bagel tends to be fresh out of the oven so it is warm already! They have different spreads that they sell if you want to add some pizzazz. The space is small, so you will not be able to eat in at this establishment. They are not wheelchair accessible just as an FYI. You will get your bagel, a wooden knife, & a single serve of the spread of your choice. There are some parks nearby, so we took our bagels & enjoyed some sun & nature while eating them. The bagels we got were delicious l! But if they were toasted they would have been immaculate!!
Crunchy, soft & SUPER FRESH, right from the oven bagels!!!! So good & you can't compare it with anything else, so unique in all the aspects. A MUST GO!!!! Staff was also very friendly to be. They are opened 24 hours. I had one sesame bagel & the other one was the blueberry. Both are on the sweeter side, they are not extremely big so you can definitely try more than one flavor. The price for the quality is out of this world. It's worth the walk or the ride!!!
I stopped in as my travel companion wanted to bring bagels home from our visit to Montreal. It was busy on a beautiful Sunday morning, & there was a small lineup going up the ramp to the front door. A five (or so) minute wait later, we got to the front of the line to place our orders. I chose a dozen all-dressed (everything) & a dozen garlic. They were quickly bagged up & we were on our way. The garlic is very strong (their description says pungent, & they're not wrong) on the garlic bagels & it will linger with you for hours. If you love garlic, these are for you. Personally, next time I would go with the onion bagels instead. I love sesame, my family does not like the overwhelming amount of sesame seeds on the sesame bagels. Onion would be my compromise as there's a mixture of onion & sesame. The all-dressed bagels are well balanced, having a mix of sesame seeds, poppy seeds, caraway seeds, onion, garlic & a bit of salt. The best of, ahem, everything.... These were a home run in my house. The bagels have a dense texture & a satisfying chew to them, they're unique to the area & definitely worth a try, especially if you've only ever experienced more'bready', bun-like bagels available across the country.
2nd experience: got the sesame & all dressed, they were definitely better that store bought but could be chewier. The 40g smoked salmon wasn't great, didn't have much flavour aside from salt, it's not their house product so I don't blame them but do not waste on your money on it, the bigger packs are probably better since they're different brands. 1st experience: ordered 6 different bagels for the week, made the mistake of putting them in the fridge where the got tough as nails. The bagels that survived were good.

We had sesame garlic bagel & whole wheat bagel with cream cheese It was very delicious It's amazing to see how they do the dough & the way they cook it Also it's really cool to smell the bagel being baked & have to taste some pieces to decide which one to get This place is a victim of its success hence why is always crowded so come early to wait on the line !
Vraiment des bons bagels frais. Je conseille surtout les bagels sésames qui sont chauds & délicieux à manger nature. Prévoyez d'apportez une carte de débit ou comptant pour les plus petits achats.
Ok, so truth be told, I typically prefer St. Viateur for a reason. However, last night I ended up back at Fairmont because St. Viateur now closes early. Although both bagels are very similar, the reason I stopped buying Fairmont was due to a problem which used to occur far too often where the sesame seeds used would occasionally have a distinct taste of mold. This was not the case this time. &, I truly hope it stays this way. Interesting fact: ( for those who care) If you are at Fairmont late in the evening & find yourself squeezing between the 5 pallets stacked with 15 trays of bagged bagels destined for retail sale, & wondered how many bagels are on those 5 pallets, the numbers are as follows. Each tray has 9 dozen (108 bagels) X 15 trays per pallet 1,620 X 5 pallets= 8,100 bagels. At the present cost per dozen the 5 pallets are yours for just under $9,000.... But I'm sure they will cut you a better price for quantity.
We came to try some super fresh bagels, we weren't disappointed, we bought a few extra flavours to try later throughout the day. The sesame & all seasoned were the classic ones we enjoyed the most. The blueberry & cranberry were also great & flavourful. We came back before we returned home & purchased a dozen various flavours to take back home with us. Remember it's cash only so make sure you have it otherwise you won't get served.
It's a classic for a reason. Sesame bagels all the way. These warm bagels are delicious. I recommend to cut them as soon as they are cold & freeze the extra (I can't get there every week). In the toaster it tastes almost like fresh. Waiting a few days or in the fridge it tastes better from the freezer. I was served with a smile at 23h from this great french lady.
