Do not leave Montreal without al least a dozen of Fairmount sesame bagels.
I discovered this prized gem many years back when visiting my sister at Mc Gill. Caution you may dream about them once you finish your dozen as this bagel is second to none.
I live in NYC and no city bagel compares to Fairmount's. They only accept cash and if you bring US dollars the exchange is 1:1.
Freezing these bagels are ideal and perfectly fine if you choose to bring back a tonne.
