| - Ok, hear this, I am in NO WAY comparing these bagels to NY bagels. In fact, I think food comparisons (think: NY Pizza vs. Chicago Pizza) are absurd. While they are the same foods in name, how can one truly "compare" two entirely different iterations of a food. Case in point, Montreal Bagels.
These bagels are amazing, in fact, they are the best when eaten still warm, right out of the oven. The place is a spectacle, and I would recommend spending a few minutes watching them make the bagels. In a time when everything is mass produced and loaded with artificial ingredients, these bagels are as pure as it comes. The bagels have a slight sweetness to them, and are smaller and denser than a NY bagel. Eating one will not leave you feeling insanely full, however, it will leave you happy.
Fairmount makes great Montreal style bagels, the only reason I didn't give 4 stars- the long lines and cramped space make it difficult to navigate. However, it is worth a visit when you go to Montreal!
***Get yourself a string of the sweet bagels, they are like twice baked or something and are sweet and crunchy. Our 3 year old LOVES THEM! They come in a bunch on a string so they're fun to buy...
