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.

Delicious! As a NY area resident I will say the bagel was different but still incredible. Coffee was good too!

Thin bagels with kind of a yeasty profile, not much discernible flavor except maybe a little sweetness. It was my first time trying a Montréal bagel. Certainly a unique experience worth trying.

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.

I got there early enough on a Sunday morning the the line wasn't too long - I only waited a few minutes before I was able to go inside. There is a person who comes out to greet everyone & coordinate where to sit if doing dine-in. I dined in but didn't get anything fancy. I just got three bagels (everything, sesame & poppy) & a small tub of garlic & herb cream cheese. This was my first time trying a proper Montreal bagel & I gotta say they are pretty amazing. I tore a bit from each bagel & dipped it into the cream cheese. Good move. Probably the best move I made that morning. The bagels are crunchy light & creamy all at the same time. I'm from New Jersey so I'm used to bagels being chewier. These bagels are delicious & I will be back soon! Probably tomorrow!

Ordered the rosemary & sea salt bagel with the steak, without onions. It was delicious, & I liked that it wasn't drowned in sauce. Service was good.

Nous avons testé cette adresse réputée pour ses bagels faits maison. Le service était rapide & efficace, ce qu'on a vraiment apprécié.

Cela dit, lors de notre visite, les bagels étaient un peu trop cuits à notre goût, ce qui rendait la dégustation moins agréable. Un autre point à noter : il y avait un déséquilibre dans la composition des sandwichs. Ma copine a pris le WOW! mais il y avait beaucoup trop d'aubergines grillées par rapport aux autres ingrédients, ce qui déséquilibrait les saveurs. Pour ma part, j'ai pris le Club Bagel bon mais sans surprise donc assez classique.

C'est une belle adresse pour des bagels frais & artisanaux, mais un peu plus de finesse & d'équilibrage dans le dosage des garnitures rendrait l'expérience encore meilleure.

Prendre note qu'il y a toujours une longue file d'attente mais si vous prenez à emporter ils vont vous faire passer plus vite !

Prepare for a long line, but the bagel is worth it. I had the traditional with salmon, my only criticism would be too much cream cheese, which I wish I had asked to add less. Everything else was great!

There is a line at the door, but it moves fast. The staff are friendly & direct everyone to keep the flow moving. The bagels are fresh & flavourful, just on their own. Can add to make a sandwich based on your preference. We tried the all-dressed with cream cheese, the traditional on sesame & the rosemary & salt. A stop to try if you're in Montreal & take some to go as well !
