St-Viateur Bagel définit le style montréalais par excellence grâce à ses bagels emblématiques cuits au four à bois, façonnés à la main et pochés dans une eau miellée avant la cuisson. Chaque unité présente une croûte dorée intensément croustillante alliée à une mie dense et alvéolée qui conserve parfaitement sa texture. Le processus de fabrication s'effectue sous les yeux du public, utilisant des fours à bois traditionnels qui confèrent un arôme fumé caractéristique à ces produits artisanaux. Les variétés classiques, notamment sésame, pavot et tout garni, constituent une référence incontournable au sein du paysage culinaire local. L'espace privilégie l'efficacité et le savoir-faire technique, mettant en avant la transformation rigoureuse de la pâte en un aliment fondamental. Cette méthode de préparation demeure inchangée, assurant une régularité et une qualité supérieure pour chaque bagel produit.
St-Viateur Bagel est largement considéré comme une institution montréalaise, célèbre pour ses bagels authentiques cuits au feu de bois, qui se distinguent par une texture moelleuse caractéristique et une saveur légèrement sucrée. Les visiteurs soulignent systématiquement le plaisir de les déguster tout juste sortis du four, notant que leur qualité et leur arôme en font une destination culinaire incontournable. Bien que l'expérience soit principalement axée sur la vente à emporter sans places assises, l'efficacité et la gentillesse du personnel, ainsi que la possibilité d'observer le processus de cuisson traditionnel, ajoutent au charme de l'endroit. Bien que certains clients trouvent les files d'attente longues et expriment parfois une préférence pour d'autres établissements locaux, le consensus général demeure qu'il s'agit de l'un des meilleurs bagels disponibles, de nombreux clients faisant le détour régulièrement pour se ravitailler en variétés comme le sésame, le tout garni ou le romarin.
I wish I could rate this place higher. The service was incredible, everyone was so kind & patient. They helped us choose the best bagels. The prices were decent & they had a good selection of flavours. I highly reccomend buying some cream cheese to go with your bagels. However, I was dissapointed by the texture of the bagels. They were not warm & it was difficult to chew. Still pretty good but wish it was softer.
Went with a few friends last weekend & honestly St-Viateur Bagel did not disappoint - we got there around 10am & watched them pull fresh sesame bagels straight out of the wood-fired oven, which was such a cool thing to see. The bagels are the real deal, chewy & slightly crispy on the outside, nothing like what you get at a grocery store. We grabbed a bunch to take back to the Airbnb with some cream cheese & smoked salmon & it turned into the best lazy brunch we've had in a long time. If you're in Montreal & skip this place you're genuinely doing yourself a disservice.
Nice place bagels were fluffy & delicious. You don't feeled stuffed like when you eat a tim hortons bagel. Good variety of cream cheeses. Just wish they had vegetarian options.

Love their new flavor spicy everything the most. This location has a long line when we were there, although it moved very fast because they don't help you put the cream cheese on. There's another location down a block or two towards café olímpico that's not on Google map, & it sells the same things & without a long line.
One of the two most famous bagel shops in Montreal! We were recommended by a local friend to try the sesame bagel, & it came out still warm, with a light & fluffy interior! The sesames were very fragrant & unique to this bagel shop - most notably when eating the sesame seed'crumbs'in the bag!
Atmosphere: There was a minimal line when we came. Large selection of merchandise & fridge items to go with the bagels. You can see the bagels come out of the oven!
FYI: We were hoping to try a Lox bagel (smoked salmon & cream cheese), but they do not offer this (only the ingredients in the fridge to make one yourself).
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).
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.
best bagels i've had by FARRRRRR. you have to try these. you can't go wrong with everything bagels i tried a few but they were sold out of onion 💔 so i just ended up getting everything, poppy seed, sesame, & rosemary salt? i think that's what it's called. if i had to say my least favourite was the rosemary salt. it was too dense. the everything bagels on the other hand. they were crispy & salty on the outside & warm & soft & slightly sweet on the inside. amazing. i have to try onion next time. but yeah im definitely okay with only ever having the everything. it was just too good. most of the cream cheese options were decent but the kiri cream cheese is the best. go home toast your everything bagel & get some kiri cream cheese & slice some cucumbers & it might be the best thing you've ever had. thank me later.
