Reviews / Ratings for St-Viateur Bagel & Café Mont-Royal
Never had Montreal Bagel. I used to think bagels were pointless just intense bread. I wasted too much of my life without these.. What was served was delicious- so delicious that we came back 24 hours later
Lives up to the title: World famous Montreal bagel!😋 This is a must visit spot for bagel sandwiches when visiting Montreal. The smoked meat bagel was my favorite!
It’s an alright elegantly prepared bagel sandwich but not worth the price. I would say to just go to the original location and buy the ingredients there separately for a salmon bagel. I came on an early morning so there was no one and it was relaxing. However the location is basically just an ordinary sandwich dine in restaurant. With the original it has a much fresher warmer bagel that is chewier and softer, and you get a unique and diy experience. Also going here you are paying way too much.
The bagels were fairly average and not very fresh, making them a bit tough and overly chewy. The prices felt slightly high for the quality, though that’s somewhat expected for a tourist spot.
Seasame bagel and classic sandwich with vegan cream cheese are amazing!
I loved the bagels, the place is small but the attention very efficient. Big bad point: they don't accept international credit cards ):
My husband and I stopped in during our morning walk through the Plateau neighbourhood and the smell of fresh bagels baking in the wood-fired oven drew us right through the door. We watched the bakers stretching and rolling dough by hand, which was honestly as entertaining as any museum we visited on the trip. The sesame bagels were warm and chewy in a way that store-bought ones back home simply cannot compare to, and we ate them plain right there at the counter. If you ever find yourself in Montreal, do not leave without making this a stop — we are already planning to come back on our next visit.
Not sure what the hype is about. The bagels were hard and the Le Joe Bagel was drippy and messy to eat. Orange juice was also whatever—$9.50 for juice that didn’t taste fresh. Wouldn’t return even if there was zero wait time and wish this place wasn’t listed as a must-visit spot in Montreal. There are far better places to visit in the city
The most perfect Montreal bagel.
Delicious sandwich bagel and very nice staff.
What a cool bagel shop, it was amazing to see the wood fire oven baking the bagels. The bagel was also very good and the prices were fair.
I only shop online and ship to Ontario. Excellent communication and delivery. Bagels are scrumptious and fresh Twice I have had to email for an order adjustments and they were accommodating ++. Thank you!!
An amazing cafe with welcoming French+English speaking staff. An unsual selection of bagels (at least for me as foreigner to the city). Great choice for a breakfast. A separate recommendation for strawberry creamcheese👍🏻
Simply the best bagels. It’s not even close. If you’re staying anywhere in Montreal just find a way to get to one of their locations. If you have anything more than a 2 hour layover in Montreal, run, get there, don’t be the guy who didn’t make it. It’s worth it. If you show up in the spring look for their maple apple flavor, I’ve only ever been there in the spring so I don’t know if it’s available any other time, but they are incredible. And finally don’t skimp while you’re there thinking you only need bagels. Get the sandwich, I don’t care what kind, it’s going to change how you think about bagels in general. Next thing you know you’ll be making trips to Montreal just for the damned bagels.
Good quality food , nice service, a bit pricey but worth it, Try their WOW sandwich ,you would never regret it !
the spicy everything bagel is the best bagel i’ve tried in my life. Got “le joe” for the first time and OMG! <3 IT’S PACKED WOTH RICOTTA Overall this goes to say this wasn’t my first time, so it never fails, but yesterday I had my best experience so far. Always take friends for their big mtl food moment, and always go back with family for something we know we’ll enjoy. This was the first time I went and didn’t have to wait in line Will always come back
This location allows you to put toppings on your bagel. I ordered the le Joe ( ricotta and fig jam) on a sesame bagel. It's a steep price at $12ish dollars but it's delicious. Comes with two slices of cantaloupe. Process ( entrance, ordering, souvenirs, bathroom) * When you enter a person will greet you in French but most employees are bilingual (English and French)They will direct you to a table that contains the menu after looking over the menu you just go to the left of the table to order and pay. If you dine in they'll bring your food to you. The bathroom is downstairs, full flight of stairs and there's a couple bathrooms (singular bathrooms) When you enter the restaurant they also have merchandise displayed on the right. It can get loud and busy but it's flows smoothly and quickly.
🤩 The bagels were really delicious, fresh, and full of flavor. You can really tell the quality, and everything we tried tasted great. 🥰 The atmosphere was also nice and cozy, making it a pleasant place to sit and enjoy the food. 🥺 The only downside for me was the service. The staff seemed a bit rushed and not very welcoming, (which was noticeable,) although it didn’t ruin the experience.
Some of the best bagels I have ever had. It was pretty busy for a Monday morning, but we had plenty of room and it was very relaxed.
Visiting from Alberta, had to stop by and try a Montreal Bagel... the traditional was amazing on a sesame bun, cant just come for 1 bagel so had a second bagel the Turkey Club and it was amazing aswell... Highly recommend visiting if you are in town.
I dont know how everyone saying this is the best bagels in montreal.I can tell you is not and i just think after trying all the top bagel spots in canada,bagels aren’t a Canadian thing.The bagel for is small,tastes super mid and the cream cheese just tastes like regular philadelphia cream cheese.The second thing is i dont know if the chubby guy with glasses at the cashier is fhe manager/owner,he seem like to me because he was at the back bossing everyone around but dam he has such a bad attitude.we bought two bagel sandwiches,a pack of 6 bagels and the store merch.We are asking for a bag because i mean my god is so much things we have to hold,do i have to ask for a bag.He screwed his face up to give us one.We visited saturday 11th april,2026 at around 10am. So please save yourself and go to New york city if you want a good bagel! Or in toronto there is whatabagel,it’s ok but far far better than this place.
Everyone has a favorite bagel place in MTL but this one is actually the best in case you needed to know.
I'm usually not a sweet bagel person but the La “Joe Bagel” was the best l’ve had. A must try in Montreal!
Native New Yorker. Tried their sesame bagel. Best bagel ever. Okay, it was really good for our first taste of a Canadian style bagel. Did not have time to try the competitor, but will do that next time. The service here was fantastic, super friendly and patient. Note that they only take cash.
