I go a few times a month to get bagels and they are always fresh and warm. Prices are very decent as well. They now take debit so makes it much easier because I never have cash on me. One downfall is the location because it is very hard to find a parking. The plaza is very busy but the good bagels are worth that little annoyance. I also wish they would be open on Sunday even if it was only a half day. Would love to be able to get warm bagels for brunch

I am a carb enthusiast so of course I had to try a real Montreal bagel. As an American who has…read moreaccess to good New York style bagels, I was unfortunately not impressed. Like it's a good bagel, but nothing I was super excited about. I did love the amount of sesame seeds on this thing, being able to see the bagels coming right out of the oven, and the service. But the biggest highlight of my visit was seeing how many options for cream cheese and toppings there were inside for purchase. Like so many cream cheeses it was beautiful. We got a garlic and chive one and it was soooo good, def carried the bagel.

Jamie W and I didn't waste any time trying this one. It was a bus ride away from our hotel, and we were anticipating a long line when we arrived in the morning. Surprisingly there was a queue but not for Fairmount. It was for the obviously popular gnocchi next door at Drogheria Fine. Lucky for us we walked right in and didn't really have a chance to think about our order. The no-nonsense order takers were not up for chit-chat, so we impulsively decided on two C$1.40 Sesame and one C$1.50 Cinnamon & Raisin (Photo 8) plus a couple of C$0.80 mini-packets of Philadelphia cream cheese. There wasn't much to our interaction, so we took our haul across Boulevard Saint-Laurent to Parc Saint-Michel where we found an open picnic table. We immediately noticed how much softer they were than the ones we were used to. They were also a bit smaller which we didn't mind at all. The sesame bagels were nicely aerated, and the cinnamon and raisin one had a sweetness beyond the raisins. It turned out the cream cheese was somewhat superfluous, even though we ordered it more out of habit. As it turned out, we did end up trying a bagel from St-Viateur later that day, and I'm here to report that we are Team Fairmount. There wasn't a huge difference between the two, and St-Viateur has the advantage of showing how they make their bagels, but flavorwise, Fairmount has the slight edge. FOOD - 5 stars...chewy, sweeter, and nicely aerated AMBIANCE - 4 stars...small shop set up for takeout SERVICE - 4 stars...very much all-business, fast transaction TOTAL - 5 stars...Montrèal's best bagel?...could be RELATED - Exploring Montreal?

This may get my New Yorker card revoked but ... Montreal Bagels are better than New York Bagels…read more There, I said it. That is strictly based on preference ... If you're preference leans towards less carbs, more flavor, welcome to the Montreal Bagel Lovers - NYC Chapter. Fairmont was the most pleasant mistake I've made recently. I thought the line was for gnocchi but instead I ended up with the best bagels I've had in years. The bagels are fresh and packed with flavor. The Pina Colada bagel is life changing. The wait is well worth it and I highly recommend that Fairmont be your first stop in Montreal during your visit.

Deli Bakeries are the besttttt ! Yagel bagel is my new…read morefound favourite. I recently discovered this place thanks to my wonderful husband.. can't believe he kept this secret from me for so long. I wanted some fresh delicious challah bread/ rolls so he suggested Yagel Bagel.. so I was in agreement and told him to get us there asap. Ambiance: As soon as we arrived, they had about 10 reserved parking spots just for us customers which I found super thoughtful and excellent. We walked in and to my surprise a blast of fresh scent of oven baked bread just hit me and I was blinded with the delicious scent of fresh baked goodies. It was oh so heavenly! Service: super friendly and quick! They make you pick a number at the front door and you wait your turn to get served. It's always busy but the staff is Fast and super attentive. They make sure to get you everything you want in a jiffy. They are always there to please and make you happy after every visit. Product: Wholesome and delicious.. I am amazed of the freshness. This bakery makes amazing homemade bread.. however, their name suggest they are a bagel shop but they don't make it in-house.. they re-sell St-Viateur and Fairmount bagels ahaha it's alright I totally prefer they're amazing Challah rolls anyway.. something about them makes me go back here all the time. I'm now a loyal customer and will totally be back here soon ! Mmmm deeelish totally recommend.

We ended up with two dozen frozen bagels, some rainbow cakes, and delicious tuna on bagel sandwiches for lunch! We had a lovely talk with Brent and his team.

I had the Traditional sandwich which had smoked salmon, cream cheese, capers, onions and tomato- absolutely delicious. I bought a half dozen bagels and took it home with me! This location had a lot of seating inside, and there are two separate areas- one for bagels only and another for sandwiches, coffee and more.

The vegan cheese was not available the day and I was really looking forward to having them. The Breakfast Sandwich was enjoyed thoroughly. The Joel bagel not so much as the ricotta was way less.

Coffee was good, wish it was stronger and more hotter.

As a New Yorker, I am particular about bagels, and I understood that Montreal Bagels are a different style. I was told by my family in the area that this place was very good, and so my travelling companion and I went in search of a good example of the form. We were not disappointed. For other New Yorkers happening to be in the area, Montreal bagels are thinner and sweeter than ours. For locals stumbling upon my review, if you are not getting your bagels from these guys, rethink your life choices.
