Established in 1919, it is one of the oldest bagel shops in the city and is famous for its [[Montreal-style bagel]]s.<br /> <br /> ==History==<br /> Fairmount Bagel was founded by Isadore Shlafman, a Jewish immigrant from [[Poland]]. Shlafman brought with him traditional bagel-making techniques, which he adapted to create the unique Montreal-style bagel. The bakery originally opened on Fairmount Avenue, from which it derives its name. Over the years, Fairmount Bagel has become a staple in Montreal&#039;s culinary landscape, attracting both locals and tourists.<br /> <br /> ==Montreal-Style Bagels==<br /> Montreal-style bagels are distinct from their [[New York-style bagel]] counterparts. They are smaller, denser, and sweeter, with a larger hole in the center. The dough is boiled in honey-sweetened water before being baked in a wood-fired oven, which gives the bagels their characteristic flavor and texture. Common varieties include sesame seed, poppy seed, and [[cinnamon raisin]].<br /> <br /> ==Production Process==<br /> The production process at Fairmount Bagel remains largely traditional. The dough is hand-rolled, boiled in honey-sweetened water, and baked in a wood-fired oven. This method has been preserved to maintain the authenticity and quality of the bagels. The bakery operates 24 hours a day, ensuring that fresh bagels are always available.<br /> <br /> ==Cultural Significance==<br /> Fairmount Bagel is not just a bakery; it is a cultural institution in Montreal. It has been featured in numerous [[food]] and [[travel]] publications and is often cited as a must-visit location in the city. The bakery has also played a role in the preservation of Jewish culinary traditions in Montreal.<br /> <br /> ==Location==<br /> Fairmount Bagel is located at 74 Fairmount Avenue West in the Mile End neighborhood of Montreal. The area is known for its vibrant cultural scene and diverse population, making it a fitting home for this historic bakery.<br /> <br /> ==See Also==<br /> * [[Montreal-style bagel]]<br /> * [[St-Viateur Bagel]]<br /> * [[Jewish cuisine]]<br /> * [[Mile End, Montreal]]<br /> <br /> ==References==<br /> {{Reflist}}<br /> <br /> ==External Links==<br /> {{Commons category|Fairmount Bagel}}<br /> <br /> [[Category:Bagels]]<br /> [[Category:Jewish cuisine]]<br /> [[Category:Montreal]]<br /> [[Category:1919 establishments in Canada]]<br /> [[Category:Bakeries of Canada]]<br /> [[Category:Food and drink companies established in 1919]]<br /> <br /> {{food-stub}}</div>
