We had 2 days in Montréal and ate here for breakfast both days! Got the Roast Beef the first time and the Salmon the second time… totally blown away by the staff and the food! Check out the giant oven and the plethora of bagels, it’s impressive!
Reviews / Ratings for St-Viateur Bagel & Café Mont-Royal
I do love St. Viator's Bagel, and glad they also have this outlet serving fresh bagel sandwiches and coffee. Have been here numerous times, and every visit has been a pleasant experience. The staff is always helpful, the service is prompt, and the food is consistently good, what more can you ask for! They also have washrooms that are very well maintained.
I had a very unpleasant experience outside this business while passing by it and I will never step a foot inside as personel is very arrogant and disrespectful towards people. The business had many customers waiting outside, but no one was managing the line or making sure the public sidewalk remained accessible. The sidewalk is already narrow because of their patio and a tree, and the crowd made it almost impossible to pass. This is a serious issue for people with strollers, wheelchairs, mobility aids, or disabilities. When I pointed this out to a waiter, he responded in a rude, arrogant, and dismissive way. Instead of showing concern or trying to help, he acted as if it was not their responsibility. A simple solution would be to organize the line with tape, like many businesses do. They choose not to. Businesses should respect the neighborhood where they operate. Public sidewalks are for everyone, not only for their customers. I will also report this to the city because this creates an accessibility and safety problem for pedestrians. This was disappointing and unacceptable. Management should take responsibility and make sure their customers do not block the sidewalk.
Love the sandwich! And the sidewalk patio is really a great spot to chill and enjoy some sunshine.
The most amazing, fresh bagels youre ever gonna eat. Go, order to eat in and order to take away... worth the trip and the line. Which moves quick.
Bagels were fresh and delicious as expected. Even with a line out the door, the staff was very accommodating and moving things very efficiently. We came to this location so we could sit down and have a cup of coffee with our bagels and they did not disappoint.
Great food and service!
Superb bagels and team member Elizabeth really went out of their way to be very helpful and accommodating! Lines form during peak moments frequently but they move very fast as staff are efficient in managing guests. - Bagels are made fresh with care and plenty of memorable merchandise/souvenirs and that iconic canvas totebag/shirts are available for purchase. Read-up the menu before lining up as lines move fast and you may not have as much time to decide!
Much different than your typical bagel. Good crisp on the outside, soft and tender on the inside. Not as much dough or chew as a NY bagel. I like how they’re made fresh but it is not something I will necessarily come back for.
The bagel is gooood. The staffs are really nice as well. An update is that the shop starts to take foreign debit and credit cards (no Amex tho) now. So no more cash only for foreign tourists. Definitely worthy for a visit if you are in town.
The bengals were delicious!
Great bagels! Had 2 of the bagel sandwiches and was satisfied! Since they are a staple in the community you can expect 15-30 mins wait time. Worth the weight in my opinion
Totally worth the hype! We had heard that its a Montreal icon and now we know wy. When we reached, there was a big lineup. For a.moment we thought it not worth it as we estimated it.could take up to an hour. But we decided to stay in the line. The line moved surprisingly quickly, thanks to excellent management and speed of service. As for taste and concept, this was simply unique. The bagels were fresh made right in front of your eyes, the selection was great, and the service was nice and courteous despite the rush. Must visit for any trip to Montreal.
We got two bagel sandwiches like WOW SANDWICH AND STEAK but both was something were ordinary -I really didn’t like it! It is not my first time which I order bagel sandwich. You know? The tast was soooo normal and disappointed.
We had a lovely meal and the ordering was so easy. The staff was very nice and made us feel welcome. The food was great and the overall experience was very pleasant. I will come back again to try new things. I recommend this place to anyone looking for a good time. The vibe was great.
I went here on a Sunday morning around 10ish (street parking is free until 1PM on Sundays and we saw quite a few spots empty). There was a long queue, and the wait time was about 30 minutes for a table. But the bagels were completely worth the wait and all the hype. A must-visit spot if you’re in Montreal.
Some of the best bagels I've ever had
From the easy ordering to the friendly faces, everything was great. The staff made us feel valued, and the food was prepared to perfection. We loved the overall energy of the space. I can’t wait to come back and see what else they offer. It is a fantastic destination for a nice time out.
Not the actual st-viateur bagel spot.
One of the freshest and nicest bagel I’ve ever had!!👌👌 my personal favourite is sesame bagel with smoked salmon cream cheese ✌️
Bons bagels
Came here on a weekday afternoon for lunch. There was no wait or line. Service was smooth, quick and efficient. They bring you in, tell you where to sit, where to order. The bring your bagels out to the table in no time. Tried the traditional (smoked salmon), steak and one with just cream cheese and it was all great. Traditional was probably my favorite. Tried everything bagel, poppy seeds and cinnamon raisin and all were good.
As a vegetarian, I was disappointed with the experience. The restaurant wasn’t great value for money, and there were very limited vegetarian options available. We were told that all sandwiches could be made vegetarian, but they didn’t deliver on that promise. A few ingredients were missing from all of our sandwiches, and we even had to send one back because the order was completely wrong. While a couple of staff members were friendly and welcoming, the overall experience was underwhelming. Unfortunately, I wouldn’t recommend this place for vegetarians.
A perfect night. The inviting vibe and great menu made for a wonderful meal. I loved the rich flavors and the expert cooking. The service was excellent, and the staff were so helpful. An unforgettable experience that I’ll definitely be recommending to all.
This place made me understand what a good bagel was. I’ve never been too fond of bagels, and have trued multiple spots in Toronto to repeated disappointment. While in Montreal and following all the local guides online, it said St.Viateur was a must-try bagel and for once, I’ll agree. This Mont-Royal location had a simple system for ordering and had great customer service for english speakers. They’re patient with ordering and helping you decide between our bagels. The quality of bagels is simply exceptional. Soft interior, great crust, and the bagel sandwiches you can order here are great as well. Come order a sandwich, get some bagels to go and even freeze them at home if you want to preserve them. If you’re looking to try a Montreal bagel, just go to this St.Viateur location and you’ll not regret it.
