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.
Simply delicious! The staff was kind & they help you in anything you need. They dont accept credit card.so take cash with you. 😉🥯
Outstanding bagels. Very friendly staff. Note to international visitors: they don't take credit & they only accept debit from Canadian banks. So, bring CDN $s. For our entire week in Montreal, this is the only place I needed cash. But, it was nice to see what Canadian currency looks like these days (pretty sophisticated & intricate, with a different feeling than'paper' money)
Classic. Love it.
Saturday early afternoon wait outside for 2 ppl was about 25-30 min. Traditional is a must try. No credit cards - cash or debit only.
Really tasty bagel place, had ~20 minute queue when we arrived. It is cash only (shown on their menus), so make sure to have some cash on you. Staff were friendly & service was pretty quick. Bagels are a bit denser & smaller than an NYC bagel, & you can order them with cream cheese or as a sandwich. Definitely popular but would recommend a visit! Might try the other original location next time as this one seemed like it was popula
Well ..it's one of the touristy things to do in Montreal I guess.. nothing fancy.. it's a cash only or Canadian debit card place.. it was not my most favourite bagel but.. like I said something to do as a tourist.. the line for the dine-in was super long.. we went just for the bagles(take out) & that line moved pretty fast.. I think we waited for like 5 mins.. Montreal bagel is smaller & denser than the other bagels I've tried or made.. so this is something you can do just for the experience
IMO the second best bagel in Montreal. You have to wait maybe 20-30 minutes in line & it's cash only. I really liked the sesame bagel, I got it as the classic lox sandwich.
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.
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 ✨
Expensive & long wait even for take out... & the cashier made me break another paper bill because I was .1 cent short I had .50¢ & it was .53¢ I'm sorry but as a business owner myself in this economy you take cash & you don't treat clients like this... I know your spot is very hyped by tourists so you have a lot of movement but I'm a local client that comes often & this situation kinda sucks.
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.
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.
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 you
Non-Canadians: They do not accept foreign cards! Bring cash. Delicious bagels! Get the iconic salmon 🍣🥯 bagel. I love that they serve it with a lemon. A perfect citrus touch 🍋💛 Expect a line. We waited about 20 minutes to get our bagels.
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!
Great bagel sandwiches. One star off for being cash only despite being a large, busy cafe
Très bon bagels, le service est rapide mais il y a souvent la queue. Attention, ils ne prennent que le cash ou les cartes de débit (pas de crédit & pas de cartes internationales)
