🥯 Update: November 2024 I've been coming to bagel St-Lo almost as long as it's been open, so I've seen it evolve over the years. In the beginning, it was a cozy, popular local bagel spot where you could expect to see the owner herself every day. It became so successful that they expanded into the space nextdoor. Even through a global pandemic, the community stepped up to keep their favourite bagel joint afloat. Today, St-Lo is a bustling brunch & breakfast restaurant & permanent fixture in Verdun that practically runs itself. Here's the thing: over the years, I've evolved too. In the beginning, I tried tons of things on the menu. Then I became vegetarian, but I still had several options. Eventually, I became vegan, & suddenly I could have only one dish on the menu. What disappoints me is that in all this time, the menu has hardly changed. Sure, they redesigned the look & feel of it, & maybe changed a few details here & there, but I guess they figure why change something that works. Today, as I sat in front of my plate, looking at the SAME flat gluten-free vegan bagel they've had for years, stuffed with the SAME arugula, hummus & Alfalfa sprouts, with a side of the SAME (but almost imperceptibly smaller) plain bell-pepper-&-lettuce salad, topped with the SAME dressing (which now makes me think of that "Svbway sandwich smell"), garnished with ONE kalamata olive & ONE cherry tomato, as usual, I started to wonder if this might be the last time I ate here for awhile. I still love St-Lo, but there's only so many times you can have the same dish without getting fed up of it. I wish they'd switch up a few menu items made with local, seasonal ingredients, like they do with their seasonal soup. Un 2e choix végane serait bien apprécié en tout cas. 🙏🏻 🗓 Original review (2020) I love Bagel St-Lo. It's one of Verdun's hidden gems. Bagel St-Lo makes the sweetest, freshest, most delicious bagels in Montreal. In my opinion, they're even better than hot St-Viateur & Fairmount bagels. I buy half a dozen St-Lo bagels almost every week; I can reheat them in the oven a week later after having kept them only in the fridge, & they taste just as fresh, which I can't say for any other bagel I've tried, fresh or day-old. Bagel St-Lo provides compostable takeout containers, paper straws & spaghetti sticks to stir your coffee. They have two self-serve coffee stations with mismatched mugs. Their black coffee is great, & I love their almond milk lattes. Bagels are incorporated into just about every dish on the breakfast, brunch & lunch menu. The restaurant has great vegetarian options & some vegan & gluten-free options. I've tried & enjoyed meals on the spot & to go, & they never disappoint. They're usually just enough for me, but someone who likes a copious breakfast might not be entirely full. The restaurant decor is eclectic & fun to look at, & the owners regularly display local artists' work. The place is really cozy & has outdoor seating in the summer. Bagel St-Lo is so popular that they acquired the space next door & expanded their restaurant, so seating has doubled. It's a big win for local diners! The new counter space is trendy but fits in well with the casual, colourful space. I love eating out on the terrasse in the summer. The wait is rarely more than 5 to 10 minutes, the table service is fast, & the staff is always very friendly. It's no wonder the place is always packed!View more

Lovely fresh bagels in the heart of Verdun. Came in with low expectations but left very happy & satisfied, will definitely be a returning customer. The service was extremely quick, we got our food within 5 minutes of ordering. We had the smoked salmon with cream cheese capers & red onion bagel, my favorite. We so had a an egg bagel with tomato cheese lettuce & mayo. Cappuccino was good as well.View more

Stopped in on a Sunday morning for takeout bagels. Real good bagel, maybe better than than you know where. Place was pretty busy for the sit down breakfast trade, obviously popular. Nice find in Verdun.View more

This is one cozy place to have a fresh bite. The coffee is one of my favorite in Verdun, bagels are always delicious. Service with a smile. The corner spot by the windows with cushions is perfect for reading/studying or just look at the rain fall on a lazy Sunday. A must go to place in Verdun.View more

What a wonderful surprise :The Bagel St-Lo Verdun takes casual dining to new heights! The staff make you feel welcome immediatly in a very genuine manner, & they have every kind of seating arrangement you could wish, both indoors & out. On this sunny August day I wanted to stay outdoors! They have two terraces which have just the right ambiance for both seeing the world go by & for private chats between friends or business dealings alike. The food was excellent, beautifully presented & the coffee both delightful (pick your own cup -serve yourself ;) & delicious. The whole place humms along with professional expertise, creating an ambiance of good humour with ease. This might just be the perfect café: Long may they thrive !View more
