| - Best bagels I've ever had!! And I can confirm that Fairmount is truly Montreal's best bagel place (leagues ahead of St-Viateur, which had the gall to serve cold, stale bagels). My bf ordered a multigrain bagel and I went with the seasonal blueberry bagel. F*cking delicious is all I can say! These bagels are oven baked to perfection: delightfully crispy on the outside and pillowy soft on the inside. The multigrain was slightly sweet and the dough had been well-mixed (so no graininess), everything good multigrain should be. The blueberry was just AMAZING! It was so good, my bf stopped eating his multigrain and started fighting me for pieces of the blueberry, haha. The blueberry bagel tastes just like a blueberry muffin but with more substance; The texture, though, is completely different from blueberry muffins -- crispy, light, airy, fluffy, pillowy, delightfully warm, absolutely scrumptious! (I'm salivating just thinking about it!)
Food: 5/5 -- Next time I'm in Montreal, I'm getting 5 lbs of blueberry bagels!
Service: 4/5 -- Great! Friendly and welcoming. Though, keep in mind, they're cash only.
Atmosphere: 4/5 -- Small space, gets crowded very easily cause of their popularity, and expect insane lines, but the orders move fast and the hustle and bustle from opening til closing is a good sign of a great bagel business!
Overall: 5/5 -- What I wouldn't give for another Fairmount Blueberry Bagel right now!!
