We first went to St-viateur to compare their sesame bagel.
Check out my experience on video https://youtu.be/uPq0WVFhx-o
The sesame bagel was 85 cents at St. Viateur..95 cents here at Fairmont. Also, there is less amount of sesame seeds here at Fairmont. The bagel was softer and sweeter and less crisp (probably because the lack of sesame seeds) still pretty good but personally I liked St-viateur's version more.
We also bought the blueberry bagel..it was cold and hard but when we bit in, it was soft in the inside, tasted like the blueberries were blended in, husband thought it tasted more like muffins lol... too densed and harder to swallow..not my cup of tea.
Overall, it was a great quest to try both st-viateur and fairmont...if I come back here, I'll stick with just the sesame bagels.
