Review Summary

St-Viateur Bagel offers a classic Montreal bagel experience with wood-fired bagels baked right in front of customers, a crisp exterior and chewy center, especially the sesame classic, and reviews praise fresh and hot bagels and quick in-and-out service. Some say the place is cash-only and takeaway focused, with lines that sometimes test patience, while others note the atmosphere can be minimal or unpretentious but the craft and aroma shine through. A few reviews mention bagels not always fresh or a bit hard, and a handful caution about the no seating policy, but most celebrate the iconic status, consistent quality, and the ability to watch the bagel making process. Many travelers say it is among the best bagels in Montreal, with others cherishing the experience enough to stock up for a long drive home or to share with family, and a note that a second store exists nearby to choose if something is not hot out of the oven. Overall, the place is seen as a must visit for wood-fired, freshly baked bagels, with devotion to the craft and a reliable, if sometimes crowded, performance.

Bagels were delicious! I wish this place, & all places, were not cash only. That makes things so difficult these days. I always buy much less when it's a cash only spot.
