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.

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

Overrated. Merely a local icon. Don't hold high expectations for the food itself.View 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
