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.

Amazing Bagels- a must do when in Montreal. Expect a bit of a queue, but it moves quickly. My favourite is the sesame seed bagel, toasted with plain cream cheese. Perfect texture & just a kiss of sweetness in the dough. Perfection!

Good place to eat a bagel. Small & nice to stay & enjoy the moment. Good bagel & small good selection of meet & fish options.

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.

Classique & incontournable, le St Viateur avenue Mont Royal.
J'allais chercher des bagels le matin, tout frais, pour le petit déjeuner.
Un régal avec le café, natures ou avec de la crème Philadelphia.

Un de mes meilleurs souvenirs du Québec & de Montréal qui me manque tant !

Cash only at this location. Is it the best bagel on the world? It's hard to argue that point. Warm out of the oven with crispy outside, tender inside with great flavor in both toppings & bread. Highly recommend these to any lover of bagels even those from New York.

We visited as part of a food tour while in Montreal. These bagels (unique to Montreal) are worth every penny & are absolutely a treat to have while visiting!

They are all handmade (10,000 a day) & if you can get one hot out of the oven - even better! The speed at which they can make them is pretty incredible & worth a visit just to watch! This is cash only so keep that in mind when you come looking to purchase.

Highly recommend!

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.

Un trésor découvert au coeur du plateau à Montréal. Un délice des papilles. A la hauteur de sa réputation. Le personnel est jeune, très sympathique.
Principe, on choisit le pain parmis une dizaine de pain bagel different. Puis la recette de son bagel.
Servi dans une petite panière avec 2 morceau de melon.
Une très bonne adresse à partager.

Les bagels sont bons mais petites portions ! Le service est correct mais bien blasé. Expérience sympa pour un midi sur le pouce, mais pas plus. Dommage..

Overly hyped, bagels were not fresh, & lady at door was rude, arrogant, & gave incorrect information. The cashier & chefs were friendly. They lost 10 customers today as me & my friends are never going back!!
