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.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5
St?Viateur Bagel - Montreal

There's a comfort in returning to a place that gets it right every time. St?Viateur has that steady, unmistakable rhythm - the wood?fired oven working nonstop, the air warm with sesame, & trays of bagels coming out with that signature crisp exterior & chewy center.

Whether you stop in early in the morning or later in the day, the experience stays consistent: friendly, unpretentious, & focused on the craft. The sesame bagel remains the classic, but everything that comes out of that oven carries the same quiet confidence.

It's the kind of spot you find yourself revisiting without thinking - a small Montreal ritual that never disappoints.

Three days in Montreal & three days of bagels for breakfast. Everything I've tried has been delicious (especially when they're hot out of the oven). Personal favourites are the classic sesame & cinnamon raisin. I love being able to watch them make the bagels right in the store. Note that they have a second store on the same street just a couple hundred metres east of this one (doesn't seem to show on Google maps). If something you want isn't hot out of the oven here, you can try the other store.

Best bagel in town, better, in my opinion, than the counterpart on Fairmount 😅 Fast & efficient, I'd recommend the classic sesame as they're fresher & authentic. All others are fresh but not out of the oven minutes ago. We'll priced. Don't need to splurge on cream cheese & other goods there, much more expensive than at any grocery store around the corne

Une adresse à tester absolument 😍😍 Des bagels frais & de qualité (tout donne envie) servis avec un service simple, rapide & souriant. Que demander de plus ? Je recommande le classic sésame, pavot & romarin sel de mer !
