One of THE MOST HEATED DEBATES in Montreal, which is the superior bagel; ST V's or Fairmount. Both factions are zealously defending and bragging about their respective brands. Personally I tend to stick to these two shops.
The only reason I stepped in here was proximity. If I was closer to Fairmount, this review would be different.
I seriously need to conduct a blind taste test. Both are great bagels and taste delicious.
