About Fairmount Bagel
Fairmount Bagel is Montreal's first bagel bakery, founded in 1919 on Fairmount Avenue in the Mile End. Its bagels are made the Montreal way: hand-rolled, boiled in honey water and baked in a wood-fired oven. The result is smaller, denser and a little sweeter than many other bagels.
Fairmount suits locals and visitors alike, whether you want a warm sesame bagel on the sidewalk or a dozen for a family brunch. Pair them with cream cheese and smoked salmon, or bring a bag home as a Montreal souvenir. They freeze well, so stock up. The bakery is a living piece of Mile End history.
