Montreal-style Bagel: Fairmount Bagel vs. St-Viateur Bagel
In Montreal, two bagel bakeries that are open 24/7, 365 days a year are busy churning out the unique bagels that have put the city on the foodie map. Montreal bagels are denser and much smaller than New York bagels, with much sweeter, more nuanced insides than their larger, more bready American cousins.
Fairmount Bagel and St-Viateur Bagel (both named after the streets where they’ve set up shop) have split the market roughly 60-40, with Fairmount edging ahead. Both bakeries offer plenty of options for condiments, but the best way to eat them is like a local. Dip your hot bagels into a tub of cream cheese (no knife required) and eat them while they’re hot.
