Fairmount Bagel, a Mile End staple since 1949, is the forerunning cherished institution in Montreal's culinary landscape. For over a century, the Shlafman family has upheld the tradition of crafting exceptional bagels, just as Isadore Shlafman did when he arrived from Russia in 1919. Today, Irwin and Rhonda Shlafman carry on the legacy, preserving the authenticity and quality that define Fairmount Bagel. From the classic poppy seed to the beloved sesame, each hand-rolled bagel reflects a commitment to tradition and taste. Step into this historic bakery, where tradition meets heart, and savor a taste of Montreal's delicious heritage.
