A visit to Montreal wouldn’t be complete without a sampling of one of our famous
bagels, and St. Viateur’s bagels are a “hole in one”. In operation since 1957 and

Fairmount Bagels
The competition for Best Bagels in Montreal is always between Fairmount and St Viateur
Bagels. St. Viateur’s are heavier and more filling, while Fairmount bagels are fluffy,
light and chewy. We like the Fairmount’s better and serve them for breakfast. (map)
