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.

Small bagel shop with tasty bagels. Just a take away shop with no seating. Cash only but they do have an ATM. I got two bagels to try. The sesame was warm & right out of the oven & delicious. The all dressed bagel was not warm & pretty chewy. I would recommend getting a warm bagel as it was very good.

Heads up! Make sure you are aware that you need to assemble the bagels by buying the toppings you want & that there is no seating area to eat them. Great bagel! I recommend getting one right of the oven.

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 !

Visiting from Florida, somebody recommended this place, as I was approaching I met the owner on the street who warmly invited us inside to try the bagels. He did not let me pay, & only asked me to enjoy them in the beautiful afternoon! Amazing. Needless to say the bagels were awesome!

The original St Viateur Bagel & a staple food in Montreal. I have been here several times & I never got tired of watching them make the fresh bagels, pulling them out of the wood fired oven, & eating them hot. Their "everything bagel" 🥯, plain bagels, cinnamon raisin bagels & actually all their bagels are to die for. They have other products you can pair your hot fresh bagels with, such as smoked salmon, cream cheese, fruity cream cheese & others I cannot recommend this place enough for your bagel cravings. Seriously, eat here.

These bagels are worth going out of your way for. We went twice in a weekend because we loved them so much, which says a lot as we were traveling from New York City haha. I highly recommend the rosemary/sea salt bagel - it's delicious! They also have a really cute mascot & great merchandise (I left with ~yet another~ tote bag). Bring cash (American dollars or Canadian) because they don't take credit cards.
