After hearing quite a bit about 'Montreal bagels', I went out of my way to stop at St. Viateur on my trip. This isn't the flagship location, which I think suited me well - it was fairly quiet when I went in on a Tuesday morning. I got a traditional (smoked salmon) on a sesame bagel, and must say, it was a damn good sandwich. The bagel was very different than what I'm used to in the NY/NJ area, but in a good way. The bagels seem to be smaller, lighter, less doughy, less chewy and slightly sweeter than a NY bagel. All in all, I really liked my first experience with a Montreal Bagel and would definitely come back to St. Viateur the next time I'm in Montreal!
