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.
Forno a legna per bagel, ottimi e freschissimi, c è il servizio ai tavoli ma fino alle 18 con diverse opzioni per i bagel farciti, altrimenti si acquistano i bagel e so mangiano a casa..
The outpost of the original! Excellent bagels. Make sure that, if you just want bagels, you get in the correct line. They have a line for folks who want bagel sandwiches that is separate & VERY long.
Un incontournable de Montréal. LA place pour prendre des sandwiches bagels! Ils sont très fournis & toujours frais. Il y'a souvent la queue devant mais ça en vaut la peine & de manière générale ça avance assez vite.
Il est également possible d'acheter des sachets de bagels & le choix est large.
I was here on Saturday noon, & there was a long line reaching in front of BMO. This is the line for both dine it & take out. Then at the door they separate you into left or right; left for sandwiches & right for take out/buying bags. By the way I waited 45 minutes before I got to the cashier.
The cashier recommended traditional on sesame bagel $14. I searched previous reviews for anyone who's tried Courage Bagels in Silver Lake, Los Angeles, but no one seemed to have mentioned them. I absolutely LOVE Courage Bagels, so I was really excited to try Montreal-style bagels here. My hot take is the salmon lox at Courage tastes better than the traditional one at St Viateur. My reason is Courage Bagel uses a lot more seasoning, especially on the salmon. The salmon here is like barely salty, but it is very soft. The bagel itself is wonderful. (The line at Courage is atrocious.)
The other bagel I got to try is the smoked meat bagel on all-dressed bagel $14. This was one great with the mustard, but I added a bit of extra cream cheese from the salmon bagel, & it tasted even better! If I were to get it again, I would ask for cream cheese on this one.
Servers are nice & spoke English & French.

First time trying it out based on all the mentions I've seen on TikTok reviews & a friend who has already went & said it was amazing.....
It was absolutely amazing!
Yes you do have to wait outside for a bit to get in due to the high traffic here but the staff was super amazing & came out to help the line flow smoothly!
Indoor & outdoor seating!
Yes it was expensive for a bagel sandwich & orange juice but not more expensive then a'value meal' at the big yellow arches.
The bagel itself was delicious & well put together!
Well worth the money & time spent waiting in line! This will be an annual stop Everytime in Montreal now!

We first went to the bakery not realizing the Cafe was separate but was OK as we wanted to see the actual baking process. We ordered via doordash for pick up & faced a bit of a premium $ added cost. To us it is was worth it as when we arrived there was a large line out the door despite many open tables on the patio & indoors.
Walked up to the front of line & was escorted in to pick up the order. This was about 5 mins after our doordash order was placed. I was impressed with the expediousness. Asked if we could sit down & eat but staff said only for those waiting in line even though all tables were empty indoors. The decline didn't bother me as we enjoyed eating along the pedestrian street just outside the shop. I found it odd the line was so large despite the number of empty tables.
Some say this place is a tourist trap. The bagel sandwich was awesome. We paid 50 bucks for 2 bagel sandwiches with 2 coffees - keep in mind this included the fees for doordash & tip. Was it worth the price? I would say for the one time experience & quick turnaround yes but I wouldn't do it again.
We will however enjoy the bulk bagels we brought home!
Amazing bagel & cream cheese. Very different from the NY/NJ bagels I am used to. These are thinner, more crispy, & have a slight hint of sweet/honey that compliments the tart cream cheese really well.
This place is amazing because of the bagels they really are the best in the city hence the constant line up around the block. But due to the line up the ambiance definitely takes a bit of a hit. Though they never rushed us & we never felt crowded in the venue seeing the line outside the door just really made the place feel a little like I was in a crowded subway. So recommend the food but dont expect to have too much of a conversation with out feeling rushed or distracted. But REGARDLESS definitely worth a visit.
Nothing is better than Montréal bagels & St Viateur is the best. I drive 2 hours to pick these up. Unfortunately this is only location that makes sandwiches, but it is worth it.
St-Viateur. le meilleur Bagel de votre vie ! Avec un large choix de pain artisanale, les bagel sont à la perfection. Même avec une grande fréquentation, le service est au top !
Pour les touristes, pensez à prendre du liquides/espèces. Un lieu immanquable pour ceux qui visite Montréal !
The bagels absolutely lived up to the hype.
The difference between U.S. water bagels & Montreal's is more than just shape-they're slightly sweet, flatter, & thinner, & here, they turn them into full-on sandwiches. I came here early in the morning with my girlfriend & was thrilled that this spot met expectations. I started with a simple bagel & cream cheese, & man, was it good. I ended up walking back in to order a dozen to take home, as well as a roadie for the walk back to the metro.
The staff was friendly & spoke English, French, & Spanish. Just one heads-up: they don't take American credit cards, so bring cash (CAD or USD) when you go.
