BagelsCaféSandwichesBreakfastCateringFood Truck
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.

Review Summary

Reviews describe St-Viateur Bagel & Café as a quintessential Montreal bagel experience, with fresh, wood-fired bagels that are chewy and slightly sweet and offered in many varieties, often enjoyed with cream cheese or smoked salmon and in simple bagel sandwiches. The sesame, rosemary-salt and poppy are frequent favorites, and the bagels are praised for their quality and authentic Montreal character. A common caveat is the long lines and wait times, especially at peak times, though staff are described as fast, friendly and accommodating and the atmosphere remains welcoming. Payment is typically cash and Canadian debit, with US cards not accepted at many locations. Most reviews say the experience is worth the wait and a must-visit for bagel lovers visiting Montreal, though a few find the hype a bit inflated or note occasional inconsistency in freshness or value. Overall, it’s a cozy, bustling spot where you can see bagels being made on site and leave with a satisfying, classic Montreal breakfast or lunch.

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 ❤️❤️

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 bagels
