Hmmm... bagels. \n\nI hardly eat them as the bagel shops in Toronto don't make good Montreal-style bagels (except for Gryfe's). However whenever I visit Montreal, I make an effort to travel to one of the best bagel shops in the city. \n\nI like the fact there's variety at Fairmount. Say what you will about the other shops who claim that bagels should only come in two or three flavours maximum, I disagree. If you can make a tasty garlic-flavoured bagel then you have my vote as being one of the best bagel shop in the city. I tend to go to the other place further down the street out of loyalty and reputation, but Fairmount is a fair contender in the bagel wars.  \n\nWith an assortment of flavours, I bought plain, sesame and garlic. I practically lived on these during my 24 hours stint in the city. While waiting for the free Stevie Wonder show to start, I ate the supply I had bought that morning and shared with my friends. They were still fresh and soft, a perfect bagel in my books!
