Montreal is famed for its bagels, and there is a constant debate about which is better, Fairmount or St-Viateur. I don't wish to wade into those waters, but let's just say you won't regret buying bagels from Fairmount and no one you treat to a bagel from here will be disappointed. I went for a dozen to bring to friends, a mixture of sesame, poppy, plain and everything, and also treated myself to a fresh-from-the-oven sesame with cream cheese and salmon, plus a garlic bagel for later. All were absolutely delicious and rank among my best ever (and I'm from NYC).
