I had my first St-Viateur Bagel here. Hot & fresh! I ordered the sesame & all dressed. 10/10 would recommend. Cash only

If you find yourself in the Saint-Laurent area craving a true Montreal-style bagel but want to avoid the iconic, hour-long lines at the Mile End flagship, look no further than the St-Viateur Bagel counter hidden inside Marché Esposito on Boulevard Marcel-Laurin.

This location is an absolute hidden gem. While you won't find a fancy café menu or an elaborate selection of artisanal cream cheeses here, you will find exactly what matters: the authentic, OG Montreal bagel. Because it is tucked away inside a working supermarket, the experience feels refreshingly local & efficient. I have visited multiple times & have yet to wait in anything resembling a line.

The quality is everything you expect from the brand-the perfect chew, that subtle honey-water sweetness, & the signature crispy crust from the wood-fired oven. These bagels are the real deal, pulled hot & fresh in a setting that prioritizes substance over spectacle.

Beyond the product, the staff are genuinely wonderful. They are kind, welcoming, & clearly take pride in the legacy of the bakery they represent. It's a warm, no-nonsense experience that lets the food speak for itself.

Whether you are grabbing a dozen to take home or just need one hot sesame bagel for the road, this spot is a masterclass in convenience without compromising on quality. For anyone living or working in the greater Montreal area, I cannot recommend this hidden outpost strongly enough. It is the quintessential neighborhood bagel experience.

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.

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.
