Overrated.
If you're a tourist, you can only pay with cash. You can only use debit if you're Canadian.
On the other hand, the only good thing is the bagel dough. The filling is nothing special, without much flavour.
We went on a weekday around 10am & the place was pretty empty. We got the traditional on sesame & it was amazing. Definitely better than any bagel you can get in Toronto.
Great service & staff as well.
It's Canadian Debit or Cash only.
No gluten free options. Only take Cad debit card, cash (USD or Cad). Bagels are freshly made, lots of varieties
The best bagel spot in town, I always get a freshly made sesame bagel to go! They don't take credit card so cash or debit!
I love cinnamon raisin bagels & I was happy that St-Viateur's version of it is easily one of my favorites. It's way up there with Tal's Bagels (New York). People have said that Montreal bagels have a special taste & I agree. I'm glad we tried the ones from this place because the first time I tried Montreal bagels from a different place (from our trip last year), I was disappointed. But St-Viateur redeemed my opinion of Montreal bagels. My husband, whose not a bagel lover, thinks this one is really good - & that's saying a lot.
We waited for about 10-15 minutes to get a table but if you're taking your bagels to go, there's no wait at all. Also, this store only accepts cash payments or Canadian debit cards. There's a bank a few feet from the store so you can grab some cash from their ATM if you don't normally cash like us.
I prefer this location to Rosemont location, because it takes debit card as well as cash & has bagel sandwiches💯 there was a long queue during summer, but this time afternoon, no queue & fast serve!
& finally got sesame oil this time !!
Bagels itself doesn't charge extra tax unless it's a sandwich. LOVE IT ❤?
& somehow all dressed (everything) bagel is always warm hahah
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.
It's a MUST to come here every time you visit Montreal.
The downside is they don't accept credit card only Canadian debit cards. Other than that, the service & the food is P-E-R-F-E-C-T! I've never liked bagels & after today, I realize I've never had a real one until today 🥰
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.
Delicious, & they were super chill too. They don't take US debit or credit cards, though. Just fyi
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
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 ✨
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)
If you're looking for a great Montreal bagel experience, this is the place to go. It is a little touristy, but the bagels were chewy & hot & served with plenty of cream cheese. This place only takes cash (American or Canadian) or Canadian debit cards though, so plan ahead if you're visiting from out of town.
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.
Not only the bagels are fresh all the ingredient they use are fresh. Friendly staff. They only accept cash or debit. Parking was hard to find in the area.
Excellent bagels. Getting them fresh makes a difference. Seeing the oven & how they were flipping it was pretty neat too. Note that it's cash & debit only.
