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 famous spot in Montreal. Why should you choose between them & St-Viateur, try both. Their bagels are excellent, you do have to try various flavours. I love the multigrain ones. There is often a lineup, but that are fast. You will not wait too long. No place to eat there. Take out only.

Bagels were just okay. Tourist trap unfortunately. They tell you the US dollar is 1:1 & then will give you back Canadian change. I would recommend St. Viateur for better bagels & sandwich options!

Note, below $10, they will only take cash. I only had old notes, which they rejected. Also only local debit cards accepted, but will take overseas cards for a fee. At that point, I left, without trying. St-Viateur win hands down with their immaculate service. For just over $8 for 2 bagels & tuna spread, they provided serviettes, a knife, & cleaned a preparation table for me, all with friendly smile, & accepted my overseas credit card without any fuss.

Imo better than Saint Viateur - Fairmount has interesting flavors & the dough is better & slightly chewy
