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.

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.

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.

I always come here when I visit Montreal. Unfortunately this place has turned into a money grabbing, greedy establishment. I went to pick up 5 dozen bagels. The best part about this place is taking a bite from a hot soft bagels upon purchase. You can imagine 60 bagels are quite heavy to carry. So I sat down at a table in order to quickly bite into one, so that I could put down my 5 dozen bagels. The usual manager walks up to me and asked if I purchased a sandwich, and that only people who have purchased a sandwich are allowed to sit down. I looked around and there were 4 other free vacant tables, NO LINE UPS because it was afternoon 4pm. I had 1 small bagel in my hand that I was half way finished already. He was so money greedy forcing me to buy a damn sandwich (higher priced than a bagel) that he doesn’t realize that I’m already carrying $80 worth of bagels in my bag and am simply trying to take a few minutes to enjoy one. Overall, service is subpar compared to other locations. The one near the airport (DDO location) serving fresh hot soft piping bagels and they will help you bag into plastic bags too. When I asked for that at this location, they said they’ll give me the plastic bags and I can do it myself.

Nice Montreal style freshly baked in house bagel in a truly authentic neighbourhood. We packed couple of bagels for a stroll around neighbourhood and good coffee. Queue was fast, some condiments are available too.

A beloved Montreal institution! St-Viateur is home to perhaps Montreal’s most famous culinary creation, the Montreal-style bagel. You’ll definitely encounter a line, but it moves quickly, and the ordering process is smooth. It’s fun to see the boisterous bagel production factory right in front of you as the shop is constantly pumping out hot, wood-fired bagels. I got the Traditional on their most popular flavor, the sesame. The bagel itself was fresh out of the oven and so crunchy. The inside was soft and fluffy with a bit of sweetness from the honey water these bagels are boiled in. The salmon, cream cheese, and veggies all tasted fresh as well. I assure you if you’re a bagel lover, you will crave St-Viateur long after your trip to Montreal!

Very disappointed. The bagel was very dry. We took 3 differents kinds all same . It supposed to be a branch from the authentic most famous bagel in Montreal, but really far away. The filling was poor and testless. I was really expecting better than this.

I had a mixed experience here. The person who greeted us was exceptionally kind, whereas the person taking my order was the total opposite. She wanted me to go pay at another counter before I even uttered a word, and then she repeatedly mistook what I was asking for, despite the fact that it was a very simple order and I made it as clear as possible. Anyways, now onto the food. The sesame bagels are always incredible here. In contrast, the poppy seed bagels were cold, chewy, and had almost no seeds on them. Maybe it's just a location issue. If you ask me, I'd rather spend my money at the original spot.

I’m here to settle the long-standing debate: Fairmount Bagel vs. St-Viateur Bagel. As someone who especially enjoys bagels as sandwiches, St-Viateur takes the win for me. The bagels are fresh, flavorful, and have the perfect texture—slightly crisp on the outside while still soft and chewy inside. The prices are very reasonable, the service is fast, and the portions are surprisingly filling, making it a great spot for a satisfying meal without breaking the bank. We tried both the Traditional and Le Steak, served on their all-dressed bagel, and both were absolutely delicious. The combination of the fresh bagel with the sandwich fillings worked perfectly and really showcased why this place is so popular. This is definitely a spot I’ll come back to every time I visit Montreal. Recommended items: Traditional, Le Steak (on all-dressed bagel)

They are incredibly rude — absolutely no customer service at all. As long as people keep supporting places like this, they’ll continue thinking this behavior is acceptable.

The last time I visited St Viateur was over 20 years ago when I was working in Montreal. I'm happy to see this old friend still making the best bagel I've ever tasted just like before. And it seems they are even more popular than before. The old oven behind the counter is still there and so is the open store front on Mont-Royal. I ordered my old standby the traditionnel avec bagel tout garni. It tasted wonderful and otherworldly as it had decades ago and brought back many happy memories. Others may not agree with my choice of bagel (most people get the sesame ones) but the ever present long line in the front confirms we all agree this is the best bagel to be had.

We stopped at St. Viateur Bagel & Café in Montreal Quebec — the LEGENDARY Montreal bagel spot that everyone talks about! We had fresh wood-fired bagels, right out of the oven, and taste test why Montreal bagels are considered the BEST in Canada. Soft, chewy, lightly sweet, perfectly toasted — there is nothing like it. We can definitely see why they're famous. A must try if you're in Montreal.

The sandwiches are really good. Prepare to pay in cash or interac e-transfer, as they don't accept credit cards.

When I got there, there was quite the line outside! Thankfully it was before the lunch rush so I didn't have to wait longer than 10 minutes. I ordered the steak on an all dressed bagel. It tasted great! Definitely worth the wait.
