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.
Les avis décrivent St-Viateur Bagel comme une institution montréalaise, cuits sur feu de bois et offrant des bagels chauds, croustillants à l'extérieur et moelleux à l'intérieur, riches en saveur. La sélection couvre sésame, pavot, tout garni et d'autres classiques, et beaucoup soulignent le plaisir de voir les bagels sortir du four sous leurs yeux, une expérience mémorable. L'expérience est généralement axée sur l'emport, sans beaucoup de places pour s'asseoir, et le paiement en espèces uniquement à certains emplacements; les files peuvent être longues mais rapides à faire avancer. Dans l'ensemble, les bagels sont loués pour leur fraîcheur et leur qualité, faisant de St-Viateur Bagel une étape incontournable pour les Montréalais et les visiteurs, souvent considéré comme l'une des meilleures adresses de la ville malgré quelques remarques sur la variabilité.
When we were planning our trip to Montreal, we kept seeing that bagels were a must try so we headed out to St-Viateur to try them out. This place is strictly grab-n-go & geared to people buying bagels to eat elsewhere. They do have fridges filled with cream cheese & stuff that you can also buy. I kinda wish they had a little cafe where you could get a bagel sandwich or just buy 1 bagel with cream cheese in it instead of buying a big tub.
We picked up an All dressed, Blueberry, & Cinnamon Raisin & brought it back to our hotel along with some cream cheese. Yet we're OK... not gonna lie, they tasted like bagels, with a bit of chewy texture inside. Would have been better lightly toasted. I think I liked the cinnamon the best but the all dressed had the strongest flavor (it also left the most seeds in my teeth).
This store also sells some souvenirs like bags, keychain, & bagel stuffie. We went on the afternoon & it wasn't very busy (2-3 people ahead of us in the line).
The freshness of the bagels & all types of different flavors it just smells amazing when you walk through the door & it's so good. The best bagels hands down. Don't argue with me & try it yourself ☝🏼
We tried the famous St-Viateur Bagels for our breakfast. There was a queue & we had to wait for around 15 minutes. Please note that they do not have the bagel sandwiches at this location. You have to go to their other location for the bagel sandwiches. They only accept debit card or cash.
We ordered their sesame bagels, spice everything, all dressed & blueberry bagel. The sesame bagel was the softest & the best in my opinion. Then comes the spice everything & all dressed bagels. The blueberry one was hard & not that good. You can buy the cheese spreads. They give you the disposable knife. You have to spread it on your own.
If you're in Montreal, do not skip on these bagels.
Really enjoyed the spicy everything bagel!! Apple maple was decent too, denser & less chewy then the everything though. I think would have been better with cream cheese. Will need to do that next time
I do not believe you can buy bagels toasted &/or with cream cheese here. You buy the bagels wholesale & they have fridges for other items like a deli.
I LOVED THIS PLACE!! So good, so fresh & sooooo flavourful! Came from Ontario, & this was on my list of food to try! Delicious!! (highly recommend the spicy everything bagel! Ahhh 🤤)
Delicious bagels, living up to the hype. Tasted fresh! Don't seem to do any options with fillings, just the bagels on their own, which still taste really great anyway.
