St-Viateur Bagel - Montreal, Quebec

Ask for fresh warm bagel since thay may not be just right out from the oven. Sesame is my favorite. I like the toasted sesame / bake surface / dough. I can taste the sweetness of the flour. I would disagree with someone who would prefer a ... more salty flavour in the dough. Read more

Yummy and delicious bagels!! Lots of different options for bagels and spreads like cream cheese and hummus. Prices were fairly reasonable. While there was a long line, service was fast. However, no seating available and they only take cash.

I had been waiting to try a Montreal bagel for a while and it didn't disappoint. I got a all dressed bagel with smoked salmon. They didn't go overboard with the capers or onions. Definitely different from a NY style bagel but very delicious. I appreciated the freshness and the ... slight smokiness of the bagel. Prices were reasonable and the staff were pretty skilled at getting people in and out, managing ordering, etc. I wasn't prepared for a cash-only type of place and they told me where I could find an ATM very easily across the street.

Admittedly, there’s a large following and many great reviews. For me, it’s preference and for my taste it didn’t align. I did like the size and tried several, all dressed, sesame and poppyseed. Again, for my taste seemed like the dough wasn’t salted. The place was clean. Wait staff friendly and ... helpful. A bit busy with a small line out the door and almost every seat taken including the outside. Read more

One of the best bagels in Montreal, hands down better than NYC bagels, while I am from Queens where all the bagels are made. Growing up eating NY bagel, every time you eat one, you are full for the whole day. It is a lot of doughs, vs Montreal ... bagels smaller lighter, crispy outside and light and chewy and sweet inside. We ordered like 9 dozens for friends and families, good thing we called in earlier or else it would be hard to get all of the bagels we needed. Great service chatting with the manager or owner, Joe at the counter. He was friendly to chat with and knows how to run the business well! Read more
