Info & Location
Since 1957, St-Viateur Bagel has been a central part of the culture and daily life of Montreal. Its legendary landmark bagel shop operates 24/7 and sells over 1,000 dozen bagels a day. St-Viateur Bagel was founded by Myer Lewkowicz who brought his now famous recipe from Eastern Europe. The art of bagel making means hand rolling each one and baking them in a wood-burning oven. The current owner, Joe Morena, with over 45 years of experience in the bagel business, ensures that the traditions at St-Viateur Bagel continue to be respected. Over half a century, this family business has grown to include 4 bakeries and 2 Bagel Cafés in Montreal. Come and visit us soon or order online today. St-Viateur Bagel & Café Mont-Royal is located in the bustling "Plateau". The avenue is lined with trendy cafés, restaurants and specialty food stores, which contribute to the district's European flair. The café menu offers a number of bagel sandwiches, salads, and a wide variety of specialty coffees.

THIS IS A CASH ONLY ESTABLISHMENT (Canadian OR US cash) They also take Canadian Debit cards (?) - there is some sort of debit card system but not for foreign cards. Secondly - if you want bagel sandwiches this is the only location that does it. The original St. Viateur bagel location on Rue St. Viateur DOES not do sandwiches. Overall, I thought the bagel was okay - we were told to ask to order whatever was the freshest bagel, for us that was the sesame. It was cool to see them hand rolling the bagels. The bagels are not warm for the sandwiches. I thought the traditional bagel sandwich (smoked salmon, cream cheese, capers) was alright - honestly felt like the bagel was missing flavoring (likely salt). The line outside wasn't too long, maybe took about 20 minutes to get inside & sit & eat. Not terrible. There are two lines outside, the one to the right (when facing the door) is for takeout bagels ONLY (no sandwiches) the one on the left is for sandwiches & sitting in the restaurant (can also do takeout, but you still need to stand on the line to the left). Last note, if you are HUNGRY these bagels are quite light. You can definitely eat more than one if you want to be full.View more

There is a reason this place is legendary- the bagels are in a different league. It was a busy Saturday morning, so we did have a few minute wait out front to get a sit down table, but the staff were friendly, didn't make us feel rushed, & the'classic' bagel delivered. This place should be on your'must try' list if you are visiting Montreal.View more

I thought that St-Viateur would be a lot better given all the reviews & videos I had seen prior to my trip to Montréal. The bagel was okay, but nothing special, especially for how expensive it was. I wouldn't return the next time I'm in Montréal. There is much better food to try around the city. I do like that they have an efficient system for getting people in & out of the restaurant comfortably & quickly. That was the highlight of the visit.View more

Excellent bagels. Line out the door was too long so I just got bagels takeaway. Maple apple was not too sweet & sesame was delicious! The bagels have a slightly chewy texture & are not dry at all. Wish all bagels were like this.View more

I always come back here for some OG Montréal bagels. It gets busy during the afternoon, so I would recommend going there earlieView more

I was just so shocked when I looked at the line in front of the restaurant. I waited nearly an hour to get the bagel but when I had the first bite, I knew exactly why it is so famous. I got the all dressed bagel but sesame bagel is one of the most popular bagels. From what I know, this bagel place is one of the oldest in town & serves fresh bagels. This place is worth the hype. Must visit when you go to Montreal.View more

An institution in Montreal & a spot I have to visit each time or I will tweak. Great value for good quality bagels. Lines can get quite long so do your best to get there before the morning rush. Overall, a must visit. Take a dozen or two home with you. Freeze them for longevity or to use them as a flail, your call. Regardless, these are my go-to bagels. & their bagel sandwiches? Respect that schmear, they pile on that cream cheese, sensational.View more

The bagels are not that good & it's mainly a tourist trap, I don't understand why so many people were lining up!View more

St-Viateur Bagel is the hot Montreal bagel destination. Really good, multiple locations, just be prepared to wait in line to get in, line moves decently quick though. I got the ricotta fig jam sandwich & I personally thought it was lacking a key flavor element. The fig jam overpowered the ricotta. It was still good, but the bagel was the highlight & not so much the sandwich ingredients. The St-Viateur Bagel locations only take cash but they accept USD or Canadian cash or Canadian debit. You can skip the wait line if you're just going to pick up a bag of bagels vs eating there. I brought home myself 6 bagels in my new St Viateur Bagel tote ✨View more

Probablemente les meilleurs bagels de la ville!!!!!! Oh la la. L'attente interminable debout sous le soleil vaut franchement l'expérience!! Qu'il s'agisse de bagel salé ou de bagel sucré, c'est un plaisir incroyable. La leçon n°1: ne pas se laisser décourager par la file d'attente à l'extérieur ou y aller un peu en dehors des heures de pointe ou encore choisir l'option "take away".View more

J'ai pris un bagel romarin & sel au poulet. Pas mal, un peu sec à mon goût mais bon rapport qualité prix pour un repas sur le pouce, qui cale bien avec des produits frais. Beaucoup de monde & point négatif pour les touristes : ils ne prennent pas la CB ! Cash only, il faut juste le savoir.View more

Came here as a recommendation to compare to see how they compare to NY bagels. Place was super cute & everyone was really nice. I had a cinnamon raisin bagel. It was crispy & fresh but less fluffy than NY. Glad I went there for the experience though!View more

Il était une fois, dans le quartier animé de Montréal, un petit commerce qui faisait parler de lui : le Mont Royal Saint Viateur Bagel & Café Mont Royal. Ce n'était pas un commerce ordinaire, oh non ! Ce lieu était magique, & ses bagels avaient des pouvoirs extraordinaires. Un matin, alors que le soleil se levait à peine, un client nommé Pierre entra dans le café. Il commanda son bagel habituel, mais ce jour-là, quelque chose d'étrange se produisit. Dès qu'il mordit dans son bagel, Pierre se retrouva transporté dans un monde parallèle où les bagels étaient des créatures vivantes & parlantes. Ces bagels avaient des personnalités bien distinctes : certains étaient sages & philosophiques, d'autres étaient espiègles & farceurs. Pierre fit la connaissance de Bagelus, le roi des bagels, qui lui expliqua que leur monde était en danger. Un méchant croissant, nommé Croissangre, voulait conquérir le royaume des bagels & imposer la dictature des viennoiseries. Pierre, armé de son courage & de son amour pour les bagels, accepta de les aider. Avec l'aide de ses nouveaux amis bagels, Pierre entreprit une quête rocambolesque pour trouver les ingrédients secrets qui pourraient neutraliser Croissangre. Ils traversèrent des forêts de fromage à la crème, naviguèrent sur des rivières de café & escaladèrent des montagnes de saumon fumé. Chaque étape de leur voyage était plus absurde que la précédente, mais Pierre ne perdit jamais espoir. Finalement, après des aventures incroyables & des rencontres improbables, Pierre & ses amis bagels réussirent à concocter une recette magique. Ils affrontèrent Croissangre dans une bataille épique où les armes étaient des ustensiles de cuisine & les sorts étaient des recettes secrètes. Grâce à leur détermination & à leur ingéniosité, ils parvinrent à vaincre le méchant croissant & à restaurer la paix dans le royaume des bagels. De retour dans le monde réel, Pierre se retrouva à nouveau dans le café, son bagel à moitié mangé dans la main. Il se demanda un instant si tout cela n'avait été qu'un rêve, mais en regardant autour de lui, il vit un petit bagel lui faire un clin d'oeil depuis le comptoir. Pierre sourit & sut que, quelque part, le royaume des bagels était en sécurité grâce à lui. & depuis ce jour, chaque fois qu'il mangeait un bagel, Pierre se souvenait de ses amis bagels & de leurs aventures fantastiques. Le Mont Royal Saint Viateur Bagel & Café Mont Royal devint un lieu de légende, où chaque bagel avait une histoire à raconter, & où l'impossible devenait possible. 🍩✨View more

Personnel très gentil, mais très longue attente pour 3 cafés frappuccino... (20 minutes) Peut-être juste une mauvaise journée... On retournera éventuellement pour comparer. Évidemment, les bagels sont très bien.View more

Best bagels in town! Rosemary sea salt my favourite.View more

Some of the best tasting bagels in Montreal. Indoor & outdoor seating was comfortable. The store is proactive about routing people to the food counter or grocery line so you don't end up waiting if you just want to get the bagels & spreads to go.View more
Katy
Bagel itself tastes pretty good & I would love to come back to try a simple bagel with spread. Eggplant sandwich was a bit too strong & the other sandwiches were mediocre. It's pretty busy & CASH only.View more

Great place to stop by when you are in Montreal. Bagels were delicious! My favorite is the rosemary & sea salt. Then again all of them were really good. We bought two dozens to share with our family. They all loved it! Staff was super friendly & accommodating that there were some non-Canadians who didn't have cash, the staff at cash still helped them so they were able to get some bagels. Love your bagels! Thank youView more
