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.

During our trip to Montréal, we stopped by St-Viateur Bagel & had an amazing experience! These weren't the typical oversized bagels you find elsewhere - they were the perfect size, just right for a hearty but not overwhelming sandwich. Every bagel was incredibly fresh, soft, & packed with flavor. Each sandwich had its own personality, from the turkey & bacon to the grilled chicken with pesto, & even a veggie one with creamy cheese - all so tasty! We loved them so much that we ordered extras to take home for the kids to enjoy later. St-Viateur really lived up to its reputation - fresh, delicious, & a must-visit if you're in Montréal!

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 🥰

Para los 12 dolares más tasas que cobran no merece la pena. Un trozo de lechuga con tomate y dos rodajas de pavoAdemás no cogen tarjetas que no sean canadienses.

Best bagel ive ever had. Tried the salt & pepper breakfast bagel, but swapped bacon with smoked turkey & cheese.

They do not skimp out on the portions - two eggs, two slices of cheese, etc. This is a proper meal - justifying the price of almost 18$ taxes in.

Will 100% be coming back.
