Montreal’s Most Iconic Foods | Eater Montreal

"Some New Yorkers may snub our thinner, sweeter, and less-bready version of the bagel, but along with smoked meat and poutine, it’s one of the city’s most celebrated foods. With several locations, St-Viateur is Montreal’s big bagel success story, although roughly half the population swears by its main competitor, Fairmount, a few blocks away." - Valerie Silva

"A block north of its counterpart (or some would say its competition), St-Viateur bagel offers a similar no-frills bagel experience to Fairmount. The difference between the two is subtle, and a point of contention for many Montrealers, but in any case, St-Viateur makes an equally quick, similarly affordable pit stop for hand-rolled bagels in many flavours. A tip: These bagels are best ordered warm, and plain sesame have more often come straight out of the oven, while the fancier counterparts tend to be made just once a day." - Audrey Carleton

Absolutely delicious bagels! Light, fluffy with a crunch, a mild sweetness which invokes a deep flavorful beady flavor - like standing in a wheat field. Competes with NYC bagels - arguably one of the best I’ve ever eaten… (as a New Yorker, from Brooklyn… shhh they’re gonna get mad at me.)

St-Viateur Bagel is a great place to enjoy authentic Montreal bagels at a good price. The bagels themselves are very good—fresh, flavorful, and exactly what you expect from such an iconic spot. One interesting aspect is how the toppings work. They give you the bagel, and then you choose and buy whatever you want to put on it from the refrigerators next to the counter. You assemble it yourself. This setup has both pros and cons: it gives you flexibility and choice, but it may not be ideal if you’re looking for a fully prepared bagel sandwich. I also liked that they have a wide selection of souvenirs, which makes the visit more fun, especially for tourists. On top of that, the service was friendly and efficient. Overall, it’s a classic Montreal experience with good bagels, fair prices, and a unique self-serve style that many people will enjoy.

Quick take and go outfit. Went in the afternoon and no queue. Looks like several regulars will drop by to buy a dozen bagels and drive back off in their cars. Daily staple. Enjoyed the salmon cream cheese bagel for 12.50. Loved it!

Was coming to a hockey game from America and wanted to try out the famous bagel store here. The bagels were very good and freshly made. The employees were friendly and spoke English. Parking was difficult to find and the business is cash only which made it very hard for exchanging American money somewhere beforehand. Bagels were fresh though and doughy, enjoyed the variety we purchased.

Sweet baby Jesus these are good bagels. They said sesame was their most popular, I vote the everything. It was amazing. I don’t know how they make it so all the goodies don’t fall off the bagels. One tip I didn’t know, that my wife should’ve relayed, as she did the research for this place is that it’s only cash, though they do have an atm in the shop. We also took advantage of the coffee shop two doors down that was pretty good too!

Amazing bagel sandwiches. Getting an assortment is the way to go. Smoked meat, traditional, and WOW! Bagels pictured here. Have a bite of each one it is incredible. All dressed bagels are the way to go. Crunchy exterior, soft and chewy interior with a hint of sweetness. Amazing! The line up was long but went fast. Must try! The staff was helpful and courteous. Line was fast paced so even though we waited a dozen people it only took a few minutes.

I visited St-Viateur Bagel in Montreal and absolutely loved the authenticity! If you’re visiting the city, this is a must-try spot for breakfast. The sesame bagel and everything bagel are both amazing fresh, warm, and perfectly chewy. Grab one and head over to Café Olimpico (or your favorite local café) for a coffee the combo is perfect. Highly recommend this Montreal classic!

Not sure why this always happens but we go in there by a few dozen, come outside and start tallying up who we are going to gift a bunch away to and then we realize we have none left for ourselves then we have to go back in and line up again just to buy a dozen or two for us! Don't make the same mistake and buy more than you think you need and you will probably just have enough! 😂 Everybody has their favorite Bagel in Montreal. After tasting so many over the years, St-Viateur is consistently my personal favorite. Always love that nostalgic feeling walking in!
