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.
Classic example of Montreal style bagels & my favourite place for bagels. Your order will always be fresh baked bagels as they are constantly baking batches but if you can time it right (or ask politely) you can get ones that are fresh from the wood baked oven. They have a few varieties (like blueberry) but the classics are poppy seed & sesame.
Got a fresh hot sesame bagel & I personally thought it was great. I loved the slightly chewy texture inside & the slight crunch outside. There was a line but it moves pretty fast. Pick up some cream cheese or other toppings from the fridges on the side & pay for them in the front with your bagel order. There's another location not too far from this one & I'd probably just go to the one with the shorter line next time. Bring cash!
St-Viateur bagels is an overrated tourist trap Honestly do not get the hype. Like sure Montréal style bagels may be worth buying in a grocery store for their potentially unique style / flavour but this store is not worth it. First red flag for me is them being cash only. Now I tend to carry quite a bit of cash & prefer paying by cash many times - way more than the average person; & yet I was taken aback. & sure I get small businesses not wanting to pay potentially exorbitant credit card fees. But these guys ain't a small business - they are an overrated tourist trap. The cash only at this stage just to me screams money laundering & tax evasion (via undeclared income). Heck they don't even have a cash register. They were just scribbling stuff on a pad. Like if I was a CRA / RQ officer & I saw this I'd be calling for a complete audit immediately Second was the lack of service & rudeness. You'd think a bagel shop at the very least would butter it. But no, I asked for bagel with butter & the cashier, in a sarcastic tone said that I can buy (!!) butter (at inflated prices) & that "we don't make sandwiches here" They can't even do basic services of a bagel shop, instead relying on being a tourist trap. Finally, they clearly run an (show) assembly line where bagels are being made. But they are not seeking their fresh ones to customers that is for sure. The bagels did not taste fresh out of the oven at all, despite what talk & assembly line process will have you believe. It tasted meh & a bit stale to be honest

Ask for fresh warm bagel since thay may not be just right out from the oven. Sesame is my favorite. I like the toasted sesame / bake surface / dough. I can taste the sweetness of the flour. I would disagree with someone who would prefer a more salty flavour in the dough.
I had wishlisted this spot in Montreal for bagels since almost 1.5 years. On my visit to Montreal I made sure I get hands on these, but unfortunately couldn't have them fresh due to time constraints, however even though we were getting late to head back to Toronto, we decided to get these bagels & take them home. We visited it at around 9:30 PM & still they were making them fresh. Couldn't get all of their specials as they were sold out, but did get a few of them & they were so good. I got Sesame, Butterscotch, Maple Apple & Whole wheat & they were all really worth the hype.
Yummy & delicious bagels!! Lots of different options for bagels & spreads like cream cheese & hummus. Prices were fairly reasonable. While there was a long line, service was fast. However, no seating available & they only take cash.
