Fairmount Bagel
Every Montrealer has a side in the St-Viateur versus Fairmount war, and honestly you should taste both and decide. Fairmount's a touch chewier to me. Get one of each, walk a block, compare.
The oldest bagel bakery in the city, around the corner from its rival. Pick a side; locals will fight you on it.
