| - Being new to Montreal, we knew right away that bagels, poutine and smoked meat were in order!! And we're super pleased to have discovered that we hit bagel success on our first go!! We had discovered Fairmount Bagel via a friend of our's who has been studying in Montreal, and subsequently noticed advertisements for the place in all our tourist guides! We took an afternoon to visit this highly anticipated place, and already consider ourselves addicts! There was a line out the door, and for good reason! We found it super artisanal in feel that the place boasted a modest and non-pretentious store front with an open kitchen where we could see all the yummy goods being produced. The ordering system was simple and efficient, as all orders are for takeaway. The servers were super nice, and completely bilingual, which is always a plus! We ordered a half dozen bagels to go, along with bagel sandwiches with smoked salmon. Our only mistake was not ordering an entire dozen!! They're seriously the best bagels you'll ever have, and given how popular they are, it's nice to see a place which doesn't skimp on their quality, or modify prices in an unjust manner! This was such a good discovery, and a fabulous welcome to Montreal:)
