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.

Delicious just a reminder they are cash only. Order what ever bagel is fresh & warm, cannot go wrong!

Les meilleurs bagels de Montréal!
On voit la fabrication & la cuisson c'est sympa.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 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.

We had to wait 30min but it was worth it. Bagel sandwiches were delicious & staff was amazing.

Long wait.

Cash only. Which is advertised no where despite multiple reviews here showing that is been a problem in the past.

Staff is rude & snobby,

& really - pretty average to be honest.

Go spend your money & wait somewhere else.

Incroyable qu'en 2025 on ne puisse pas payer par carte! Même pas débit…

Je suis cliente de cet établissement depuis 4 à 5 ans & j'adore leurs bagels ! Je fais même deux heures de route pour en prendre, & j'en achète toujours au moins 2 à 3 douzaines à chaque visite. La qualité a toujours été excellente & je continue d'apprécier leur savoir-faire. J'ai hâte de goûter leurs prochaines créations & de continuer à profiter de ces délicieux bagels !

It's NOT a NY bagel.
Rather small, dense & sweet.
Rosemary bagel was horrible & stale
Everything bagel was OK.
No offense to the owners, just definitely not to my liking.
Very friendly staff!!

Quick take & go outfit. Went in the afternoon & no queue. Looks like several regulars will drop by to buy a dozen bagels & drive back off in their cars. Daily staple. Enjoyed the salmon cream cheese bagel for 12.50. Loved it!

I'm a big bagel fan so I came here when I was in Montreal with my wife & in laws. The bagel was great, as expected. To my great delight, the pickles were also sublime. I'm a pickle fan as well so I very pleased. 5/5.

Bagels cuits au feu de bois. Ils sont plutôt bons, même si je ne suis pas un spécialiste des bagels. L'ambiance est top on voit les bagels en train d'être façonnés & la cuisson au feu de bois. En plus ils sont vraiment pas cher. Attention : ils n'acceptent que le cash & le distributeur sur place vous prendra une commission généreuse. Personnel peu chaleureux & expéditif c'est dommage.
