It's an experience. Montreal style bagels made in front of your eyes, turned into delicious sandwiches.
Still incredible quality - winter 2026.
Great visit to St-Viateur! Note that it's cash only, but they do accept both USD & CAD. The sesame bagel with cream cheese was excellent, perfectly crunchy on the outside & lighter than typical U.S.-style bagels, making it a great quick bite. The setup is well organized with separate lines for bagel sandwiches & for bulk bagel orders to go, which helps things move efficiently even when it's busy.
⭐ 5/5 - Absolutely Worth the Hype!
Tried the traditional sandwich at the St-Viateur Bagel Café on Mont-Royal & wow - it was super delicious. The bagel was fresh, warm, & perfectly chewy, & the whole experience felt like a Montreal essential.
The vibe is cozy, the service is quick, & the food genuinely lives up to its reputation. A must-try stop in the city!
Also, the staff were all so nice & friendly. Great job👏👏
For the record, I went on a Saturday & there was line so once i was in the wait was less than 5 minutes from the time I ordered.
If you know these bagels & their sandwiches, you know this is the taste of Montreal!
The WOW bagel sandwich was pretty nice. The pavot bagel itself was so good on its own, it's the best bagel I've ever had.
Solid spot that's is worth trying. My brother & I came here in August & we had the traditional bagel sandwich (smoked salmon, cream cheese, tomato, onion, capers) & it tasted pretty good, everything paired really well together. The service was mixed; we had one particularly rude employee get annoyed since we misunderstood the'bagel vs sandwich line' but the others were fine. Overall atmosphere isn't anything incredibly special but it's a decent interior & the exterior has a nice patio. For someone who wants to check off the bucket list Montreal bagels, I would definitely recommend going here.
Love these bagels! Shop is cash only, so come prepared. Coming from Chicago (& USA in general) we're used to NY-style bagels, but Montreal-style bagels are so much better. Chewy, slightly sweet, delicious. We ordered a sesame to savor, & also two bagel sandwiches- one BTL & one smoked meats. Amazing. Will return! The staff was efficient & welcoming & clear about what types of payment are accepted. Merch is so cute, we bought several things, including gifts for friends.
I got the salmon sandwich & it was just fine. I have to say Montrèal bagels aren't my favorite. I also thought the price was quite expensive here.
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
We were staying in Drummondville while travelling back to Ontario from Nova Scotia & couldn't find Montreal style bagels near us, so we drove to Montreal the next day on the way home. It was easy to find with GPS. There was a line up but it went quick. I had the steak sandwich on an everything bagel & it was sooo good, definitely worth the drive. My wife had the chicken on a rosemary & sea salt bagel & again it was delicious. If you like bagel sandwiches you need to eat here.
Traditional Montreal bagels made fresh. We also had sandwiches for breakfast that were amazing.
Best bagels i have ever had.. loved the club sandwich & sesame bagel with cream cheese.. staff was very friendly & welcoming.. had a really good eat in experience .. worth the wait & long queue..
One of the best beagle sandwiches & natural lemonade we've had in a long time , absolutely worth going!!
The outpost of the original! Excellent bagels. Make sure that, if you just want bagels, you get in the correct line. They have a line for folks who want bagel sandwiches that is separate & VERY long.
Un incontournable de Montréal. LA place pour prendre des sandwiches bagels! Ils sont très fournis & toujours frais. Il y'a souvent la queue devant mais ça en vaut la peine & de manière générale ça avance assez vite.
Il est également possible d'acheter des sachets de bagels & le choix est large.
*CASH ONLY* at St Viateur bagel
I was here on Saturday noon, & there was a long line reaching in front of BMO. This is the line for both dine it & take out. Then at the door they separate you into left or right; left for sandwiches & right for take out/buying bags. By the way I waited 45 minutes before I got to the cashier.
The cashier recommended traditional on sesame bagel $14. I searched previous reviews for anyone who's tried Courage Bagels in Silver Lake, Los Angeles, but no one seemed to have mentioned them. I absolutely LOVE Courage Bagels, so I was really excited to try Montreal-style bagels here. My hot take is the salmon lox at Courage tastes better than the traditional one at St Viateur. My reason is Courage Bagel uses a lot more seasoning, especially on the salmon. The salmon here is like barely salty, but it is very soft. The bagel itself is wonderful. (The line at Courage is atrocious.)
The other bagel I got to try is the smoked meat bagel on all-dressed bagel $14. This was one great with the mustard, but I added a bit of extra cream cheese from the salmon bagel, & it tasted even better! If I were to get it again, I would ask for cream cheese on this one.
Servers are nice & spoke English & French.

First time trying it out based on all the mentions I've seen on TikTok reviews & a friend who has already went & said it was amazing.....
It was absolutely amazing!
Yes you do have to wait outside for a bit to get in due to the high traffic here but the staff was super amazing & came out to help the line flow smoothly!
Indoor & outdoor seating!
Yes it was expensive for a bagel sandwich & orange juice but not more expensive then a'value meal' at the big yellow arches.
The bagel itself was delicious & well put together!
Well worth the money & time spent waiting in line! This will be an annual stop Everytime in Montreal now!
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!
