In depth review:

As a food blogger, I couldn’t resist celebrating National Bagels and Lox Day with some of Montreal’s best from Fairmount Bagel. Their bagels are iconic, chewy, and baked to perfection in a wood-fired oven, making them the perfect base for creative recipes. I made two unique bagel creations using their fresh, local ingredients:

1. Cranberry Delight Bagel

I started with their cranberry bagel for a subtle sweetness, paired with a creamy goat cheese spread, topped with smoked salmon, caramelized onions, and arugula. A drizzle of balsamic reduction added a perfect balance of sweet and savory. The fresh Quebec smoked salmon was the highlight, bringing everything together beautifully.

2. Lox Caprese Bagel

For something lighter and more colorful and fun, I used one of there limited edition Canada bagels, spread with Canadian cream cheese, and topped with smoked salmon, fresh mozzarella, tomatoes, and a drizzle of olive oil. I finished it with salt, pepper, and fresh basil (or basil pesto for an extra kick). The result was a fresh, Mediterranean-inspired bite that was light and flavorful.

Fairmount Bagel delivers on all fronts. The bagels are simply some of the best you’ll find in Montreal, and the ability to customize with local products like cream cheese and smoked salmon makes for a top-tier meal. Whether you’re a local or a tourist, it’s a must-visit for anyone wanting to try authentic Montreal bagels. The service is friendly, and the nostalgic atmosphere adds to the charm of the place.
