"5"^^ . "2"^^ . "3"^^ . "We went to St. Viateur first and loved it, but decided to wait to review until trying both bagels. From both places, we ordered 6 sesame bagels, ate one on the way home to really detect differences in textures and tastes, and brought the rest back to the AirBnB to enjoy with Libert\u00E9 and gravlax. \n\nFairmount wins, hands down. Both are chewy, both are easily the best bagels I've ever had, but the flavor of Fairmount bagels is way more present and unique. You can detect the slight sweetness in these bagels, whereas you can't tell it's there with St. Viateur's. Covered with shmear and gravlax, it's a tie. For just enjoying on their own (which you're supposed to be able to do with Montreal bagels!) I've gotta hand it to Fairmount. They know what they're doing just a little bit more."^^ . . . "2"^^ .
