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.
Reviews portray St-Viateur Bagel as offering fast, friendly service and a wide range of bagels fresh from the oven, with favorites like sesame and smoked salmon with cream cheese and other flavors enjoyed hot and flavorful. The bagels are often described as among the best in town and worth the trip for their freshness and generous fillings. Some notes mention mixed moods from staff and concerns about hygiene and glove use, plus a policy that bulk orders won’t be cut for you, while after hours the selection can be more limited. Overall, the place comes across as a beloved Montreal staple with variety, quality and a steady flow of devoted customers.
Au lieu d'aller à l'épicerie, je suis allée à la boutique de bagel sur le boulevard Dagenais. J'étais déçue de me présenter à 18h & seulement 3 sortes de bagel de disponible. J'ai terminé avec des bagels sésame donc ça n'a pas value le détour.
My boyfriend & I came to the store the morning of Christmas Eve & we were served by Antonia. Her level of customer service is so rare to find nowadays & she is such a breath of fresh air! She made our short experience so memorable, to the point that we are still thinking about it a month later. Besides the bagels tasting amazing, she is a big part of the reason as to why we have come back so many times. Thank you Antonia!
Great bagels.. however employees really need to consider wearing gloves in both hands when transferring the bagels from the trays to the display ! I just walked in (st martin ouest) & the employee is holding the bagels from falling in the display with one hand (no gloves) & grabbing the bagels with the gloved hand. It is just they are in direct contact with the bread!
Bagel plein goût sec & oignon brûlés. Le bagel aux pommes est aussi très sec. Cependant celui aux sésames étaient bon & chaud.
J'ai pris un sandwich déjeuner BLT, le bacon n'était pas cuit & une petite feuille de salade molle.
Je n'y retournerai pas malheureusement.
