As a come-from-away visiting Montreal fairly regularly, where can I get good bagels, preferably early in the morning 6a.m.-8a.m.

Thanks:p

Best MTL Bagel

Traveller:

I vote for Fairmont Bagel as the Best Bagel in Montreal. St. Viateur is #2 IMHO. Both are great.

I am fairly addicted to the Fairmont Bagel, and visit at odd hours. To beat the rush, try going at 2:30-3:00 AM just before the bars close. No line-ups. Used to be a big rush after Saturday nite Habs games. They bake 24 hours/day, so bagels are always fresh n warm. Some bagel tips:

1) NEVER eat a hot bagel right out of the oven; you will be destroyed.:eek:
2) If you can't wait, roll down the window, hold the hot bagel outside and drive x 5 minutes (works best in January!)
3) Try the special "Matzoh Board" with sesame or onion. A real treat but not always available. Warning: Highly addictive! :rolleyes:

I enjoy St. Viateur bagels. They are open 24 hours with many locations. My favorite is there pobby seed bagel with there tuna spread (or salmon). Just writing about it makes me want to have one.

Fairmount bagels are definitely the best..and what a variety of choices you'll get there!
Located on Fairmount St. (between St Laurent & St Urbain)

H&H still has their location by the Pier in the 40's

Their Amsterdam Avenue was the location that closed down

So, there is hope...

Best Regards

Maybe the place is called DAD's Bagel, as Google Map shows--on Sherbrooke O (past Decarie, headed west) by Wilson Ave--but anyways they have the Montreal-style bagels, but they are cooking them practically all the time in front of your eyes so you can get them hot, freshly-cooked, which is in my view the only palatable way to eat Montreal style bagels, which are just very plain and characterless soon after they cool, and can't compare to less sweet, more doughy bagels, whose origins I can't speak on. Haven't been there for a while but they always carried freshly-made tandori chicken to go... Very good!

The Fairmount and St Viateur's are definately good but are a bit out of the way if you're downtown. A closer option is the bagel place downstairs in the Faubourg Ste Catherine (corner Guy / Ste Catherine). they do make a pretty good bagel as well

Always loved Fairmount bagels... could never get into St-V.

I've always tasted that subtle honey sweetness in Fairmount bagels that seems to be missing in other popular shops' bagels. Grabbin' a fresh n warm dozen is a MTL tradition... especially late evening on a clear summer night.
