The bagels we got were not fresh & hard, felt like they were a day old.
Jackie
Great bagels & service. When you can catch them without a lineup, BONUS!
Chloé
Les meilleurs bagels de Montréal!
On voit la fabrication & la cuisson c'est sympa.
Cependant aucun sourire & pas bon accueil, c'est dommage vu la qualité des bagels..

St?Viateur Bagel - Montreal
There's a comfort in returning to a place that gets it right every time. St?Viateur has that steady, unmistakable rhythm - the wood?fired oven working nonstop, the air warm with sesame, & trays of bagels coming out with that signature crisp exterior & chewy center.
Whether you stop in early in the morning or later in the day, the experience stays consistent: friendly, unpretentious, & focused on the craft. The sesame bagel remains the classic, but everything that comes out of that oven carries the same quiet confidence.
It's the kind of spot you find yourself revisiting without thinking - a small Montreal ritual that never disappoints.

The iconic Montreal Bagel experience! Great fresh hot bagels & quick in & out. Took some home for the family per their request.
Kris
We had to wait 30min but it was worth it. Bagel sandwiches were delicious & staff was amazing.
Eduardo
Long wait.
Cash only. Which is advertised no where despite multiple reviews here showing that is been a problem in the past.
Staff is rude & snobby,
& really - pretty average to be honest.
Go spend your money & wait somewhere else.

** Cash only, so bring it! There's an ATM but fees are higher than a bank ATM. ** Bagels are worth the trip! Try all the flavors - especially the Everything & Pretzel Salt bagels. Note: Montréal style bagels are thinner, denser & more flavorful - best eaten warm from the oven or toasted. At this flagship location, no seating inside, so pop over to a nearby coffee shop (recommend: Cafe Felice).

St-Viateur Bagel is a great place to enjoy authentic Montreal bagels at a good price. The bagels themselves are very good-fresh, flavorful, & exactly what you expect from such an iconic spot.
One interesting aspect is how the toppings work. They give you the bagel, & then you choose & buy whatever you want to put on it from the refrigerators next to the counter. You assemble it yourself. This setup has both pros & cons: it gives you flexibility & choice, but it may not be ideal if you're looking for a fully prepared bagel sandwich.
I also liked that they have a wide selection of souvenirs, which makes the visit more fun, especially for tourists. On top of that, the service was friendly & efficient.
Overall, it's a classic Montreal experience with good bagels, fair prices, & a unique self-serve style that many people will enjoy.

CASH ONLY!!! But the bagels are worth it!!! Lots of toppings to buy from the fridge since they do not make sandwiches at this location & they will provide you with utensils, etc.
Jim
Service rapide & correcte côté qualité mais rien de fou & un très gros red flag : ne pas pouvoir payer en carte de crédit !
Tensor
Make sure you COUNT the quantity of bagels they bag for your order!!! I placed 3 orders & they shorted me in one of the orders. unbeknownst I gave them a 25% tip!!
Wends
Quick in-&-out for their bagels. Cash only though. They have more bagel varieties that the Mont-Royal cafe location doesn't have.
Slim
Meilleurs bagels à Montréal. Celui au pomme érable est mon préféré! Le service est toujours rapide & impeccable malgré la foule tout le temps.
Philippe
Incroyable qu'en 2025 on ne puisse pas payer par carte! Même pas débit…
Béatrice
Je suis cliente de cet établissement depuis 4 à 5 ans & j'adore leurs bagels ! Je fais même deux heures de route pour en prendre, & j'en achète toujours au moins 2 à 3 douzaines à chaque visite. La qualité a toujours été excellente & je continue d'apprécier leur savoir-faire. J'ai hâte de goûter leurs prochaines créations & de continuer à profiter de ces délicieux bagels !
