"Yes, I'm another one of those Montrealers who will tell you smoked meat is better than pastrami and Montreal bagels are better than New York Bagels... \n\nBecause it's true dammit!\n\nMontreal has the two best bagel shops in the world (to my knowledge). Saint-Viateur Bagel (on Saint-Viateur street) and, one block down, four blocks over, Fairmount Bagel (on, you guessed it, Fairmount street).\n\nThere is an all out war between those two, honey spilled, heroes on both sides... \n\nBoth are great and there is no right answer, except if the answer is \"Fairmount Bagel is better\"."^^ .
