Fairmount Bagel
Every Montrealer has a side in the St-Viateur vs. Fairmount war, and the only honest way to pick is to taste both. Fairmount is the oldest bagel bakery in the city, a five-minute walk from St-Viateur. Get a hot sesame one here and another there the same morning, eat them back to back, and form an opinion you'll defend forever. That comparison is itself the experience.
The oldest bagel bakery in the city, around the corner from St-Viateur — the necessary second data point in Montreal's great bagel rivalry.
