To be honest, I was disappointed by their bagels. I was told that Montr\u00e9al bagels could not compare with NY bagels. If I could generalize from this experience, I would say it's true. Ridiculously true.\n\nPlaces like Ess-a-bagel and Murray Bagels\nhave ridiculously good sandwiches. Really, I never knew sandwiches could be this good: they are, after all, only slices of stuff between two halves of bread. Those NY bagels elevate sandwiches. By contrast, I got at Fairmount Bagel a simple sandwich. It was good, but there wasn't the the pezzaz that I've come to expect from bagels. Also, the bread was really doughy.\n\nOne of the major advantages of this place is that it's cheap: 6,5 CAD for a salmon sandwhich? Yes please! Otherwise, I'll stick to poutine.
