Fairmount Bagel
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.
Fairmount Bagel is often referred to as the original Montreal bagel bakery.[1]
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.
Originally called Ville-Marie by European settlers, Montreal is the most populous municipality in the Canadian province of Quebec and the second-most populous municipality in Canada.
It is named after Mount Royal, the triple-peaked hill in the heart of the city.

In the Ojibwe language, the land is called Mooniyaang which means "the first stopping place" and is part of the seven fires prophecy.
Named a UNESCO City of Design in 2006.
