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.

After watching somebody feed Phil my husband & I HAD to visit this place as bagel loving people. We are now a house divided. He loved every morsel 5 stars...I left surely disappointed by the famous Montreal bagel, but service & vibe was lovely.

After 5 trips to Montreal just buying these amazing bagels for home, we finally sat inside for breakfast. Certainly worth going.

A friend recommended this spot during our travels in Montreal, glad we checked it out. The food was delicious & the floor manager runs a tight ship with traffic flow. At this spot you can order to go, sit & eat or order bulk & merch. Only takes cash (USD, CA or CA debit, no credit cards). Definitely worth checking out.

Delicious Bagels! they are sold at restaurants all over the Montreal, they are the best bagels I ever had, & I'm from NYC. Flavors are incredible, texture is soft & tasty. We visited 2 times before leave, they have a diverse range of options, so we took some back home. They provided with bags in case you want to freeze them. The staff are friendly, nice & helpful. If you see a line outside is quick & well-organized.

showed up midday & had 3-4 groups ahead of us. the wait went by quickly though, & was well worth it! had sandwiches on the rosemary & salt bagels with pesto & mayo, which was very very good. the seating is a bit crowded & hectic inside as someone new is getting seated every 2-3 minutes. clearly a well-oiled machine, very efficient & great taste!

Des bons bagels mais une armée de touristes montent constamment la garde devant se petit comptoir resto... Faire la file 40 min pour un bagel au fromage faut être fou... Mais quand on va directement au comptoir pour emporter de bagels frais cuit dans le four a bois la ça vaut le coup... Les fameux bagels pomme & érable sont sublimes...

WOW friendly service. Super helpful right when you come in the door. The guy explained the menu. We ordered sat at a table & they brought our order to us. Clean, helpful, & amazing service. Will for sure be going back.

Totally overrated for a remote place that makes you go an extra mile to bring them cash only FOR A BAGEL, not some culinary delight that will blow your mind. Just a bagel for $13-15, a tiny piece of lax under a slab of cream cheese. I can do the same at home without jumping the hoops & looking for an ATM.

Very cool to see it all in front of us, prepping & baking the dough, dressing, etc. My partner & I bought 1.5 dozen all-dressed. Our only regret is not buying more!
