St-Viateur Bagel Shop | Bon Appétit

"GO HERE: for classic Montreal-style bagels at one of the city’s most iconic bakeries, St-Viateur Bagel Shop. A quick lesson from Montreal Bagels 101: This bread is chewy and slightly sweet (it’s boiled in honey water!), and it’s almost impossible to eat just one. ORDER: any of the bagels, but you can’t go wrong with the earthy rosemary one or the sesame-poppy seed bagel (it looks like a black and white cookie!). Help yourself to the condiments—butter, cream cheese, smoked salmon, and jelly—at the self-serve area, but don’t expect anyone to slice your bagel in half for a sandwich. These bagels are made for ripping, dipping, and walking as you eat. THE VIBE IS: steamy. The ovens are blasting, so it can get a little toasty inside, but you won’t mind with that intoxicating smell wafting throughout the space. The service can be lukewarm, but at least the bagels are always hot. PRACTICAL STUFF: There are six locations across Quebec, so check the website for specific opening days and time, but the flagship outpost is in Mile End, open 24/7, and located just down the street from Café Olimpico. Pair them together for an ideal simple, cheap breakfast. Heads up: St-Viateur is cash-only. —Alyse Whitney" - Condé Nast
