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.
Having grown up in Ville St Laurent, I frequented Fairmount Bagels often. Now that I've moved away to California, where I can only get the likes of Noah's or Costco bagels - which to a long time Montrealer like yours truly, that's nothing more than a bunch of dough baked in the shape of a donut! That's NOT bagels, Fairmount Bagels which has been around for more than a century - how many restaurants can make similar claims, same recipes at the same tiny hut on Fairmont Avenue at Blvd St-Laurent still unable to meet daily demands of its customers as the stacked up bagels all the way to the ceiling can attest. I bought a dozen the first week at St Viateur (because my sister is busy & can't drive me to Fairmount), so I settled & their bagels - though still Montreal-style & made similarly, they were absolutely horrible. When it comes to bagels, Montreal or New York, there's only one - FAIRMOUNT Bagels - ask anyone who used to live in Montreal & moved away what they want when someone is visiting them from Montreal? YES, can you bring me FAIRMOUNT Bagels!!!‼️‼️‼️👅👅👅👅🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
All my friends from Montreal told me to try these bagels 🥯 , I could taste the difference between the NY style bagels & MTL bagels but being from NY I'm just too use to what I grew up with & these bagels tasted ok but just not for me.
We arrived at the store around 4pm. We got some plain & sesame bagels, & the sesame bagels were still warm. They only accept cash & debit cards. We didn't have CAD. We were told that most debit cards issued by non-Canadian banks would not work, fortunately our debit card worked.
If the line-ups don't assure you that this is a great place & a Montréal staple, then please read the following. I am not a bagel person (Type 1 diabetic) but these bagels are so delicious! When visiting family/friends, I ALWAYS get the special request to bring them Fairmount Bagels! Service is always efficient, & recently, I had Michael help me out. He surpassed my expectations! Thank you Michael!!!! Yes, counter service is basic BUT it is bilingual! As well, they multi-task to be sure to serve more than 1 client at once. Line-ups are crazy on weekends but Tuesday afternoon at 2pm & Wednesday morning at 10am was quick (dated July 16-17, 2024) ** FYI: they are open 24/7. ** Parking (street meters) can be a challenge but so far I've been lucky :-) Space is small & cramped, but this is part of the experience. I never leave without having a nice chat with someone, whether it be a local Quebécois or out-of-town tourists. As for anyone giving a 1-2 star bcuz of method of payment, your reviews are in bad taste & NOT genuine to the food/experience. Reviews are meant to be impartial/unbiased. Please be sure to have currency in the country your are visiting & stop giving bad reviews bcuz you're incompetent travelers (credit card payment means extra fees for merchants which, in turn, increase prices for everyone). This is a small shop offering quality bagels. It's not their job to be converting USD funds into CAD to benefit you. No doubt line-ups are long bcuz of tourists like C. VanderHart. Note: I reported your review bcuz it's not accurate. While waiting in line, I spoke to a local who told me he buys the prepackaged dozen bagels & freezes them, Every morning he microwaves them for 25 seconds & swears it tastes just as good as the fresh ones. Plus, they are less expensive. Thank you to that local man for the tip!!!

Definitely the best bagels I have tried, so fresh & warm, straight form the oven. I would recommend sesame one. I had as well a garlic bagel, but it was a bit too much garlic. Bring cash, they accept debit only from 10$
They only take cash & debit cards, they were so kind to us oblivious tourists that they took the few dollars we had in USD & gave us bagels for free, so kind! The bagels were awesome & every else I went I'd see their bagels in restaurants & cafes. Clearly some of the best in the city. This was also my favorite neighborhood in Montreal, so it was great to eat a great bagel & enjoy the place
Delicious bagels & not too pricy in town 🥨 with different flavour options to choose. Freshly made & serve it warm. I tried their blueberry one, they made it with real fruits. Yummy! 😋😋😋 Take out option only btw, also they only accept cash or debit card.
