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.
went on a montreal trip w my team & holy moly these guys would not SHUT UP abt these damn bagels 😭😭 some of them legit went & got a pack of like 2 dozen to snack on for the week & ate them for breakfast each day & then they finished it all early & set out to make the 40 min commute all the way there again just to be able to get more like it was insane 😭😭😭 so i was like um these genuinely better be the best damn bagels ive ever had in my life if we're going out of our way for these
After hearing countless glowing recommendations-hundreds, perhaps thousands-I finally made my way to one of Montreal's most beloved bagel institutions, tucked away in a modest, no-frills corner of the city. From the moment you approach, the warm, sweet scent of freshly baked dough draws you in like a beacon. This isn't your average bakery-it's a tiny, bustling hub of bagel-making magic, with trays of golden rings stacked high & ovens firing in full rhythm.
We picked up a variety of bagels: everything, garlic, onion, & the intriguingly named'Bozo'-each one a unique expression of this iconic Montreal staple. There's no indoor seating, so we took our warm paper bag, along with tubs of cream cheese & jam, & enjoyed it from the comfort of our car parked just outside. Honestly? It only added to the charm.
Now, let's talk about those bagels. They were soft, chewy, & still warm to the touch-the texture right where you want it: dense without being heavy, with just the right bite. The garlic bagel quickly emerged as my personal favorite, unapologetically bold & aromatic. Yes, it left me with a garlic-forward breath, but let me be clear-it was absolutely worth it. The everything bagel offered a perfectly balanced medley of seeds & seasoning, while the onion had a subtle sweetness & deep flavor that grew with each bite. The Bozo was a bit of a wildcard-mysterious & slightly sweet, possibly cinnamon-spiced-surprisingly delightful.
There's something wonderfully nostalgic about standing in line with locals & tourists alike, all eagerly waiting for that fresh dozen, watching the bakers work in full view. It's not polished or fancy, but that's exactly the point. This place doesn't need bells & whistles. It's pure, authentic, bagel perfection.
Final word: If you're in Montreal-whether it's your first visit or your fiftieth-do not leave without making a stop here. Yes, there's a line. No, there's no seating. But take it from me: one bite, & you'll understand why people keep coming back for more. It's the kind of experience that reminds you how simple food, made with care & tradition, can be absolutely unforgettable.
We waited in a short line this afternoon & left with 1/2 dozen bagels & smoked salmon. Good options to take away & make sandwiches. Bring Canadian cash (US-Canadian exchange is 1:1) or a Canadian debit card.

Fantastic bagels! I got freshly made sesame bagels, & they were still warm when I had them - mind-blowing. I personally liked them even more than New York bagels
Long wait, Bagels are not super fresh & warm like I had expected. They do not take credit cards & the staff are not super helpful at all. Overall, I was happy to have experienced it, I would shop here regularly if I lived in the are, a good business t open near here would be a cafe with toasters & tables to use to eat your bagel. The bagel was amazing though.
