YES!! I always wondered if Montreal bagels lived up to the hype and for a minute I thought they were on the same page as any other bagels I've had but flatter. I tried out Montreal style bagels at other food joints (shoot me, I know) and I tried St-Viateur. I enjoyed the bagels but they didn't blow my mind.
Then I tried Fairmont Bagel. Not only did I blow my mind but I jizzed in my pants and afterwards I brought some bagels and had sex with them through the hole of the bagels. These bagels brought a YUMMY-TO-MY-TUMMY. I had the blueberry, cinnamon raisin, power bagel, multigrain and seriously every other flavor.
They taste like clouds with a crust. Its like you take a bite and its so soft and a little crunchy on the edges AND you can taste the honey that Montreal bagels are known to have in them. Thin, soft, tasty, ALWAYS fresh=heaven. and it helps that the bagels here are very cheap. Like a 1.25 or something.
If you're a bagel lover then you owe it to yourself to try this place out and if you're not a bagel lover then perhaps Fairmount bagel can pop your bagel cherry.
