Fairmount Bagel is a Montreal-style bagel bakery in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. It is located on Fairmount Avenue in the Mile End neighbourhood of the Plateau-Mont-Royal borough.
Opened in 1919 by Russian immigrant Isadore Shlafman, his hand-rolled, honey-water boiled, then wood fire baked recipe quickly became a staple in the Mile End community.
In 1954, he moved his bakery from a laneway address to a two-storey cottage on Fairmount Avenue, building a large wood fire oven on the first floor, while his family lived upstairs. Fairmount Bagel is often referred to as the original Montreal bagel bakery.
The bakery is still family owned and competes with nearby St-Viateur Bagel for the title of Montreal's best bagel.
In June 2008, Montreal-born astronaut Gregory Chamitoff, who is related to the Shlafman family, brought Fairmount bagels with him aboard the International Space Station.
