Get the sesame bagels as they're always fresh out of the oven. Step outside, have a bagel right there, and watch pigeons eat sesame seeds as your mind gets blown by the best bagel in the universe.Upvote17Downvote
William HJuly 25, 2016I'm a New Yorker and I was impressed. The bagels are different than what I get at home, but man, are they delicious. They're small, so get a few more than you'd expect and nosh away!Upvote13Downvote
Marilina GustafsonJune 20, 2015This is definitely a must see in Montreal! They have the best and freshest bagels in town! Fast service and it's very cheap! One bagel is 0,80$ and you could choose different flavours! Just amazing!

Cooper SmithAugust 31, 2014Ask which type of bagel most recently came out of the oven. Order that one without thinking twice. (And pair it up with some chive and onion cream cheese)
Upvote2Downvote- Peter CucèDecember 21, 2011Better bagels than anything in NYC. Get one w/ some cream cheese and eat it on the bench outside, weather allowing. I like it a little more than St Viateur, but they're both great.Upvote2Downvote
Justin OrdovezaJanuary 16, 2017The sesame bagel is amazing, it has a strong sesame flavor. The everything bagel is solid as well. Cash only

Cameron DearsleySeptember 14, 2016A must visit if you're in Montreal! Note: they don't put anything on the bagels — you have to do that yourself. Didn't realize this. Grab some cream cheese and smoked salmon and eat them at the park.UpvoteDownvote
Kevin RickertAugust 16, 2016If you're coming from a city like NYC, please do yourself a favor and get two bagels - they are basically mini bagels, but still delicious. CASH Only as well, so have your loonies and toonies ready.UpvoteDownvote
Noah WeissSeptember 7, 2018Great bagels, almost a bit sweet. But take out only and need to buy your own toppings.

Grant AndersonJanuary 2, 2015Very different than NYC bagels, in a good way: doughy and soft pretzel-like. Also, an everything bagel is an "all-dressed" bagel in Canada.Upvote1Downvote- ElisaJuly 7, 2019St viateur has better everything bagels, while fairmount has better sesame bagels. Get the smoked salmon spread (La Boucanerie) to go with. Many nearby park benches to eat at!UpvoteDownvote
Utkarsh SengarSeptember 27, 2019They only have bagel and no bagel sandwich, still very good! Grab a bagel, sit outside and the end it with an ice cream next door.UpvoteDownvote
Ilyes El OuarzadiDecember 8, 2013Get the smoked salmon bagel and a half dozen sesame bagels, hot and fresh out of the oven! The best bagels in town :) enjoy!Upvote4Downvote
Gabriel SeahDecember 28, 2021Poppy bagel not fresh but still good - dense & flavorful. Got lox spread which had no discernable salmon particles but a strong smoked salmon flavour. It was very sweet.

Yuni GrahamOctober 10, 2016I thought my cinnamkn raisin bagel was just okay. It wasn't amazing. I would have preferred it slightly warmer than how I received it but the service was prompt and efficient so kudos to that!
UpvoteDownvote- Gabriel SeahDecember 28, 2021Sesame bagel was warm, dense & flavourful. It was generous with sesame seeds (it had more sesame seeds than the poppy had poppy seeds).UpvoteDownvote
Meredith BlechmanNovember 15, 2017I have tried many sesame bagels in Montreal and these are hands down my favorite.UpvoteDownvote
Kate TJanuary 1, 2019A very good bagel shop in Montreal. Crunch on the surface but soft inside. Taste good even in next day. I like sesame and garlic favourite.UpvoteDownvote
Emma HansApril 29, 2018I find it odd that they make you purchase a whole tub of cream cheese, hummus, or jam if you want it on your bagel. They also do not slice or toast the bagels which is annoying if you're on the go.UpvoteDownvote
Emily WilsonAugust 28, 2015If you want cream cheese or lox on your bagel look out for the sandwich menu next to the registerUpvote1Downvote
Poyan NabatiMay 7, 2017Cash only. The sesame one was fresh off the oven and delicious. Others were stale unfortunately. I think the cinnamon and raisin bagel had good potential. Warning; garlic bagel was extremely garlicky.UpvoteDownvote- Gabriel SeahDecember 28, 2021Since comparisons with St Viateur are inevitable, bagels here are sweeter, slightly more expensive, had a more regular shape & were less brown, and there were fewer sesame seeds here.UpvoteDownvote
Adele McAlearJune 3, 2012The HJS smoked salmon spread is divine on the best bagel in town. If you're looking for something sweet, their cinnaUpvote1Downvote
E. T.February 21, 2017You can't go wrong with Fairmount. Solid bagels... heck, they even made the trip to the space station! 🚀UpvoteDownvote
Jake SmithFebruary 22, 2014If you're going to get one, I suggest you also buy a half dozen to have for later. You'll be dreaming about these bagels for days after.Upvote3Downvote
Jeffrey NgMarch 10, 2014Excellent and fresh bagels everyday!!! The best in montreal!! Unfortunately parking there is terrible and the fresh bagel is worth the trouble!!UpvoteDownvote
Betty MakSeptember 7, 2014All dressed bagel - if you have left over foie gras from Au Pied Cochon spread on warm bagel and you really got something good..UpvoteDownvote
Gnat BrainJuly 9, 2017St Viateur still my fav but a damn good bagel nonetheless. A little sweeter than what you would expect from a bagel.UpvoteDownvote
C MMay 9, 2018fresh bagels - nothing better. tout garni will change your life. just don’t try to bring them home or your life will smell like tout garni for a while.UpvoteDownvote
Stephanie ChengDecember 16, 2013Must-try: lox and cream cheese on an all-dressed bagel. Remember to ask them to toast it!

Kate ShawJune 15, 2018Slight preference for St. Viateur, but both of these bagel shops are Montreal classic and fantastic.UpvoteDownvote
BommyJuly 7, 2019Sesame bagel has a crunch on the outside and pillowy chew on the inside. Nowhere to sit, cream cheese only by the tub, cash only.UpvoteDownvote- William HJuly 4, 2024Garlic bagel has the perfect crunch. The matzoh are also great for quick bites.UpvoteDownvote
- DesireeApril 14, 2015Sesame bagel with cream cheese and lox. Soft, chewy, slightly sweet bagel with the salty lox. Good stuff!
UpvoteDownvote - Mitchell ButlerMay 8, 2017Some of the best bagels in Montreal. Grab one to go and eat it straight from the bag.UpvoteDownvote
Monica DesaiSeptember 4, 2018More spongey than the competition but excellent in its own right!

Best bagels in know of. I could eat there all day... and I almost do when I'm in Montreal.UpvoteDownvote
Marie StewartJune 30, 2014MUST stop for me whenever I'm in town. Best bagels in the entire province by far.UpvoteDownvote
Amanda MorrisDecember 18, 2011The chocolate chip bagel is delicious. They're not as soft as NY style bagels and they have just a tad of sweetness to them. Good stuff.UpvoteDownvote
Colin LeeAugust 14, 2018Compared to NY bagels, thought was avg. no where to sit and they don’t make bagel sandwichesUpvote1Downvote
TomJuly 5, 2016I like their sesame bagel but I prefer St-V. They're 24 hours and everything is freshUpvoteDownvote
Ugo MarceauAugust 10, 2014Hands down best bagel I've had in Montreal. Always freshly baked and ready to go.Upvote1Downvote
Leisha MagsisiApril 16, 2016Great bagels! Get a dozen or just get a bagel to go. Cash only!UpvoteDownvote
Charles NadeauJuly 26, 2015Simply the best. Leo's and other NY bagels just don't match up. Go there rather than St-Viateur.UpvoteDownvote
Bokyung ParkOctober 10, 2022It’s chewy and slightly sweeter than The NY bagel. You have to buy cream cheese additionally.UpvoteDownvote
Kathryn DMay 30, 2017Grab a sack, sit on the bench outside. Bring your own creamcheese.UpvoteDownvote
