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.

We first went to the bakery not realizing the Cafe was separate but was OK as we wanted to see the actual baking process. We ordered via doordash for pick up & faced a bit of a premium $ added cost. To us it is was worth it as when we arrived there was a large line out the door despite many open tables on the patio & indoors.
Walked up to the front of line & was escorted in to pick up the order. This was about 5 mins after our doordash order was placed. I was impressed with the expediousness. Asked if we could sit down & eat but staff said only for those waiting in line even though all tables were empty indoors. The decline didn't bother me as we enjoyed eating along the pedestrian street just outside the shop. I found it odd the line was so large despite the number of empty tables.
Some say this place is a tourist trap. The bagel sandwich was awesome. We paid 50 bucks for 2 bagel sandwiches with 2 coffees - keep in mind this included the fees for doordash & tip. Was it worth the price? I would say for the one time experience & quick turnaround yes but I wouldn't do it again.
We will however enjoy the bulk bagels we brought home!View more

Ever since this place was featured on the Netflix show Somebody Feed Phil, I've been wanting to visit-& the hype definitely doesn't disappoint. They have a variety of bagel sandwiches, both veg & non-veg, & my favourite has to be the fig & cream cheese one. It's on the sweeter side but pairs perfectly with an Americano.
This is a cash-only or debit location, so plan accordingly. The ambience is your classic cozy café vibe, & the patio is the best part.
If you're lucky, you might even catch a glimpse of how the bagels are freshly made on-site. I genuinely enjoyed watching the entire process. The staff is super friendly & adds to the charm of the place.View more

A Montreal staple! The food was delicious & the service was surprisingly very good. I thought it was more of an informal cafe but they actually bring your ordered food right to your table. The meal also filled me up more than anticipated which was awesome! It was also very cool to watch them make the bagels right in front of you. A great time overallView 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

Bagel a tomber au pied du mont Royal !! Attention seulement dans celui ci pour déjeuner sur place !! Café délicieux aussi. Mention spéciale a leur communication, je suis repartie avec un tote bag souvenir !!View more

So there's a lot of good things about this place. The service is really good, quick moving lines & very efficient. They do two different line ups for people purchasing sandwiches & those that are getting just a bag of bagels which manages time really well. We got the traditional bagels, all seasoned with smoked salmon & cream cheese & the "Joe Bagel" with ricotta & fig jam on a rosemary & sea salt bagel. The Joe Bagel was really different, the ricotta was light & creamy albeit a little messy to eat. The traditional was good too but lacked a flavour punch. It is also a pet peeve of mine when a bagel isn't cut down the centre & these weren't! Overall, I would say the vibes are definitely there. Is it worth waiting about 30 minutes in line for moderately good bagels? I would say it's subject to personal preference but if we are on the matter of amazing traditional bagels I would highly recommend Cafe Felice that uses St Viateur sesame bagels but have a ton more flavour.View more

Cash only bagel place with lots of options & English service/menus. Sandwich was really good. To note, it's not really a cafe where you can sit & enjoy a coffee. It has seating but they are turning the tables quick!View more

Great bagel sandwiches. One star off for being cash only despite being a large, busy cafeView more

Le Saint Viateur Bagel Café est vraiment un incontournable ! Nous avons pris les deux traditionnels, ceux au saumon avec un pain sésame. Le service est rapide & il n'y avait pas trop d'attente, ce qui est toujours agréable. Les bagels sont délicieux, légèrement sucrés, & visuellement très appétissants. Certes, c'est un tout petit peu cher, 13$ pour un bagel, mais il est bien garni, donc ça vaut le coup. Le jus d'orange frais à 8$ complète parfaitement le repas. À ne pas manquer si vous passez par là, c'est vraiment un must !View more

Decent cafe with a good bagel--it was not very chewy for a bagel imo. Not the greatest as I've had better, my friend said the coffee was not good either. The employees were very sweet but it doesnt quite makeup for the quality. & they don't accept Credit card. Only accepts CASH (USD or CAD) or Canadian debit card. Many tourists had to be turned away from service.View more

As a devoted acolyte to the divine altar of the bagel, I relish the opportunity to take the pilgrimage to St. Viateur Bagel & Café. This sacred journey culminates in the divine experience of savoring their heavenly bagels, where each bite is a taste of perfection. They emerge fresh from the traditional wood oven & warm not just my body but my spirit. There is no smell like that of the boulangerie, no taste like the sweet bagel, & no solace like a bag of warm bagels from St. Viateur.View more

There are 2 locations & this has a sit down area as a cafe. The bagels are great. Freshly made & not too salty. Ordered 1 dozen to go & it is still good 1 week in!View more

We've been at the restaurant a few times now, & it was time for us to return to have another bagel sandwich. Actually, what made us go & visit was the publicity on the new bagel that was being sold without the hole in the middle there was a lot of controversy around it, & we wanted to go & give it a try for ourselves. Funny enough it does cook way differently as The texture is soft throughout. It's no longer a bagel with crispyness all around it's actually really soft & should not even be considered a bagel really. Anyway, we had our bagel sandwiches. We tried the new' bagel' & it was a fun time out. Where: St-Viateur Bagel & Café, Plateau Montreal What: A café & bagel place How was it: Service is average & a little confusing at times. The delicious St-Viateur bagel is what saves this place. No Bagel = no discovering destinations to come & eat. But seriously, if you are not in the mood to go out to a restaurant - you can simply buy the bagels & stay in. Grade: Eli = 4, Serge = 4- Recommend : The Bagels saves this place !View more

Small charming cafe with exceptional bagels & wonderful staff. This place was recommended to me on our flight & absolutely did not disappoint!! My daughter who has never enjoyed bagels had a plain with Nutella & wanted more. My son had the club blt with pesto & loved it. My traditional was excellent. I 100% wish this place was in Houston. Good news they do deliver in the states through Goldbelly ❤️❤️View more

The Cafe usually has a bit of wait depending on the weather .. you can sit outside which is nice. Bagels are great & they make sandwiches too. Had the Smoked Meat & one more but honestly if you go to Montreal just grab Smoked Meat from Schwartz's or Dunn's or even Smoked Meat Pete right outside of Montreal. Bagels were fine & a little pricey to be honest .. sandwiches about $15 I prefer the non cafe locations where I can grab bagels & spreads & be on my way but if you're sitting down & having a nice time it's a good visit with delicious bagelsView more
