Depuis 1957, St-Viateur Bagel fait partie intégrante de la culture et de la vie quotidienne des Montréalais. La légendaire boulangerie de la rue St-Viateur, qui opère 24 heures par jour 7 jours sur 7, vend plus de 1,000 douzaines de bagels par jour. Son fondateur, Myer Lewkowicz, a rapporté sa célèbre recette d'Europe de l'Est. Rouler les bagels à la main et les cuire au four à bois, c'est l'ancienne façon de faire et c'est l'art du savoir-faire. Le propriétaire actuel, Joe Morena, doté de plus de 45 ans d'expérience dans le domaine, s'assure que les traditions d'hier continuent à être respectées aujourd'hui. En un demi-siècle, l'entreprise familiale s'est considérablement développée et compte à ce jour 4 fabriques et 2 Bagel-cafés dans la région de Montréal. Visitez nous bientôt ou commandez nos bagels en ligne dès aujourd'hui. St-Viateur Bagel & Café Mont-Royal est situé dans le fameux cartier du “Plateau”. L'avenue a un air Européen et elle est renommée pour ses nombreux cafés, restaurants et fines épiceries. Le menu contient plusieurs sandwiches faits sur bagel, salades et une grande variété de café.
St-Viateur Bagel & Café propose une expérience emblématique des bagels montréalais avec des bagels frais cuits au four sur place, croustillants à l'extérieur et moelleux à l'intérieur, souvent dégustés tostés avec sésame ou sel de mer et romarin, et accompagnés des classiques fromage à la crème ou saumon fumé. Attendez-vous à une file qui avance rapidement, des avis sur le service parfois variables et des bagels parfois un peu secs ou avec des garnitures peu équilibrées, et paiement en espèces ou par débit canadien dans certains emplacements, mais globalement les bagels sont largement loués pour leur fraîcheur et leur saveur et l'expérience reste un must pour les amateurs de bagels à Montréal.
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!
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 !
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!
I ordered 2 bacon egg & cheese to go & they forgot the bacon & It was 51$ with a drink what the hell it's good bagels but the to go sandwich is not worth it it has become a tourist trap by raising there prices
Really tasty bagel place, had ~20 minute queue when we arrived. It is cash only (shown on their menus), so make sure to have some cash on you. Staff were friendly & service was pretty quick. Bagels are a bit denser & smaller than an NYC bagel, & you can order them with cream cheese or as a sandwich. Definitely popular but would recommend a visit! Might try the other original location next time as this one seemed like it was popula

Very very good bagel, we tried the Traditional (with Salmon & cream cheese), the WoW (with eggplant & sundried tomatoes) which was really wooww & the Plateau (with Turkey). Overall the bagel itself is a winner but I think it's a bit pricey. Consider a quick line sometimes if you wanna dine in.
THIS IS A CASH ONLY ESTABLISHMENT (Canadian OR US cash) They also take Canadian Debit cards (?) - there is some sort of debit card system but not for foreign cards. Secondly - if you want bagel sandwiches this is the only location that does it. The original St. Viateur bagel location on Rue St. Viateur DOES not do sandwiches. Overall, I thought the bagel was okay - we were told to ask to order whatever was the freshest bagel, for us that was the sesame. It was cool to see them hand rolling the bagels. The bagels are not warm for the sandwiches. I thought the traditional bagel sandwich (smoked salmon, cream cheese, capers) was alright - honestly felt like the bagel was missing flavoring (likely salt). The line outside wasn't too long, maybe took about 20 minutes to get inside & sit & eat. Not terrible. There are two lines outside, the one to the right (when facing the door) is for takeout bagels ONLY (no sandwiches) the one on the left is for sandwiches & sitting in the restaurant (can also do takeout, but you still need to stand on the line to the left). Last note, if you are HUNGRY these bagels are quite light. You can definitely eat more than one if you want to be full.
Best bagels in the world. Sesame bagel is our favorite as a family. Food: incredible - try the blt with hot smoked cream cheese vs mayo, original sandwich good as well, everything is great, super fresh Service: friendly Atmosphere: cute rustic bakery vibez

An institution in Montreal & a spot I have to visit each time or I will tweak. Great value for good quality bagels. Lines can get quite long so do your best to get there before the morning rush. Overall, a must visit. Take a dozen or two home with you. Freeze them for longevity or to use them as a flail, your call. Regardless, these are my go-to bagels. & their bagel sandwiches? Respect that schmear, they pile on that cream cheese, sensational.
If you are just getting a bagel & not the sandwich, you don't need to line up. The classic sesame bagel with cream cheese was great. The maple bagel was pretty mid. Worth grabbing a bagel from if you're in the area, not worth lining up 1 hour for a bagel sandwich.
So there's a lot of good things about this place. The service is really good, quick moving lines & very efficient. They do two different line ups for people purchasing sandwiches & those that are getting just a bag of bagels which manages time really well. We got the traditional bagels, all seasoned with smoked salmon & cream cheese & the "Joe Bagel" with ricotta & fig jam on a rosemary & sea salt bagel. The Joe Bagel was really different, the ricotta was light & creamy albeit a little messy to eat. The traditional was good too but lacked a flavour punch. It is also a pet peeve of mine when a bagel isn't cut down the centre & these weren't! Overall, I would say the vibes are definitely there. Is it worth waiting about 30 minutes in line for moderately good bagels? I would say it's subject to personal preference but if we are on the matter of amazing traditional bagels I would highly recommend Cafe Felice that uses St Viateur sesame bagels but have a ton more flavour.
We went out of our way to get these bagels on our last day in Montreal. We ordered 4 sandwiches for takeout. The breakfast sandwiches were supposed to substitute the meat for cream cheese. Both were missing this & just came with dry bagels instead & the fried eggs had no seasoning. The bagels overall were tough & chewy even though we ate them within half hour of purchasing them. Not worth the hype or the lineup outside.

AMAZING bagels 💜🥯☕️ absolutely worth the wait! The line moves quickly & theres indoor & outdoor seating; you can also get takeaway & eat on the street thats closed to traffic in the summer. Id recommend the salmon spread instead of cream cheese, & be sure to take away a few bagels on your way out! No gf options but they do have vegan cream cheese & sandwich options.
If you're looking for a great Montreal bagel experience, this is the place to go. It is a little touristy, but the bagels were chewy & hot & served with plenty of cream cheese. This place only takes cash (American or Canadian) or Canadian debit cards though, so plan ahead if you're visiting from out of town.
Being from Texas, of course, this was at the top of my Montreal list. The "Traditional" did not disappoint. Fresh bagel with salmon & cream cheese. I seriously could have this almost every day.
Lovely atmosphere, tasty bagel! What more can you ask for? The texture of the bagels here, & generally in Montreal, is very different from what we have in Toronto, & I love it here. We ordered the traditional bagel with smoked salmon & cream cheese, as well as the all seeds bagel & rosemary & sea salt bagel. Update: We visited here again after our delightful first experience & tried out different bagel sandwiches this time. We also bought some bagels to take home. We ordered the Le Steak, Wow!, & Le Joe Bagel. All were very delicious, with the Le Steak being our favorite.
