About

St-Viateur Bagel defines the authentic Montreal-style bagel experience through a traditional wood-fired baking process. Each bagel features a dense, chewy interior contrasted by a golden, blistered crust achieved through immersion in honey-infused boiling water before entering the furnace. Hand-rolled dough circles undergo meticulous preparation to ensure consistent texture and size. The signature sesame and poppy seed varieties remain the standard bearers of this specialized culinary craft. Patrons encounter the distinct aroma of maple wood smoke that permeates the entire workspace during production. This establishment prioritizes long-standing artisanal techniques that elevate simple flour and water into a staple of the city identity. The operation relies on manual labor to maintain the specific structural integrity expected by dedicated enthusiasts of these boiled and baked rings of dough.

Nope. They were not great. The bagels were not fresh & didn't taste great. Don't believe the hype.

Must try bagels. Can watch them bake in the oven.

Amazing. But don't trust people who say its best naked: sesame with cream cheese is the way to go

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.

La place est ordinaire mais ça va vite. Ils vendent juste ça & petits items d'accompagnement dans un frigo.
