Fairmount Bagel is the original Montreal bagel bakery in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. It was opened by 1919 by Russian immigrant Isadore Shlafman, whose hand-rolled recipe quickly became a staple in the Mile End community. Shlafman later moved his bakery from a laneway to a two-storey cottage on Fairmount Avenue, building a large woodfire oven on the first floor, while his family lived upstairs. Today, the bakery is still family owned and vies with nearby St-Viateur Bagel for the title of Montreal's best bagel. In June 2008, Montreal-born astronaut Greg Chamitoff, who is related to the Shlafman family, brought Fairmount bagels with him aboard the International Space Station.
