Since 1957, St-Viateur Bagel has been a central part of the culture and daily life of Montreal. Its legendary landmark bagel shop operates 24/7 and sells over 1,000 dozen bagels a day.
At St-Viateur Bagel, fresh Montreal-style bagels are described as hot from a wood-fired oven, with strong praise for the traditional bagel and for nearby smoked salmon and cream cheese. Reviewers note a wide range of flavors and favorites, including blueberry, classic sesame, all dressed, apple maple, and other jams and syrups, though some locations offer only sesame, everything, poppy, or plain and may be cash-only for takeout. Locations can be inside a supermarket or tucked in the back, which can be convenient but also means payment options vary by site. Staff are described as friendly and the cafe area provides a pleasant atmosphere with a small merch section and many bagel choices. Overall, this spot is considered the real deal and a top bagel source in Montreal, a go-to for fresh bagels close to home.
No where does it say this is inside a grocery store!!! Were from out of Province & were looking for a good morning bagel but sadly this does not have spreads or butter, you can only buy the bagels as is. For us, this didn't work but im sure if you want a bag of them its probably great. The people working there were very pleasant so five stars for customer service, just too bad it wasn't a regular bagel restaurant.
Located within the Esposito grocery store, this location is a very basic menu of just a few bagels. Parking was easy, walking into the grocery store St-Viateur is in the back right section of the store. You can't miss it. A small footprint but still high quality bagels.
Always the best bagels in Montreal 🤌 a little bit of a drive from the island but if you're passing by, definitely recommended. Plenty of parking spots as well.
It's a take-out bagel shop. Nothing too special to the experience outside of grabbing a dozen of the best bagels you'll ever eat. Having one of them fresh is so great in the morning, you don't even need to have it with anything. Although, if you can drop the extra cash you can get salmon lox in the Esposito seafood section right to the left.
Was recommended to try the all dressed bagel by a friend & it was pretty good. Only thing was it wasn't fresh out of the oven so it was cold when I got it, but I'm assuming if you're lucky enough to get a piping hot batch it would be even better. It's actually inside the Esposito supermarket so it's a bit hard to find. Service was alright, the employee wasn't very enthusiastic but spoke English which helped. Overall for the price of $1.40 for the all dressed bagel I'd recommend it.
