St-Viateur Bagel & Café Mont-Royal

Hands down, the best bagels in town! A must-try is their salmon bagel – it's worth the inevitable wait in line.

The place exudes authenticity, and we thoroughly enjoyed our experience!

St-Viateur Bagel & Café Mont-Royal offers a variety of bagel breakfast options. I tried the $12 breakfast sandwich, but found it a bit pricey. The bagel with egg and bacon lacked salt, impacting the overall flavor. While the atmosphere was pleasant, the taste didn't quite justify the cost.

Traditional bagel was good, with all of its ingrendients fresh. WOW! Bagel on the other hand, was not edible, very oily and had some odd type of seasoning.
Cash and debit card only

For once, no line up!
A bit hard to eat (not even cut) but the taste was pretty good. Just impossible to eat on the go without making a complete mess of the sandwich and myself!

* Everything bagel with vegan cream cheese - great

Would be great to see more vegan options in the future!

My Montreal bagel experience! Cash only and it's a busy place. It wasn't crazy the morning I went, no queue and the staff was helpful in getting me along. I had coffee with an everything bagel and sat outside on the patio to watch the street action. My bagel was delicious, yes, different from my USA east coast background, but I enjoyed every bite. I should have brought some back with me.

Wow the traditional salmon bagel was sooo good — the best I’ve ever had! We had to wait about 20-30 minutes on a rainy holiday, but it was totally worth it. I also like the slices of melon that came with the bagel:) The staff was friendly and made the waiting process organized. A must-visit in Montreal!

Pretty famous place. Finally we came for lunch on a Saturday and waited in line for about 40 minutes to enter the cafe. It was worth it. The salmon bagels are really tasty.
It’s a little cramped inside as the tables are small and very close to each other.

En plus d'être de bons conseils, l'équipe est super attentionnée à sa clientèle. Ils m'ont même offert un refill de café glacé parce que je travaillais sur place depuis un moment, ça a fait ma journée.

Quick service and a filling sandwich! I think they may have given me a sandwich that someone had ordered and cancelled though cause it was ready before I had even paid and was cold… but upon bringing the other half home to reheat, it was much better!

NOT FOR TOURISTS! NO CREDIT CARD PAYMENT POSSIBLE! They exist since 1957 - and not even after that time they were able to find out that credit cards are a thing. Nowadays you can get a credit card terminal everywhere. All other restaurants offer card payment but this incompetent management decided not to! As a tourist it’s expensive and unpractical to carry cash. I consider the plateau as one of the tourist areas in Montreal where tourist should be welcomed to pay conveniently. To run the business like this is a shame!

I have had a lot of bagels and this place doesn't live up to the hype. Rocky mountain bagel in Banff was a lot better.
The bagel here was HARD and honestly I didn't enjoy it at all. Writing a review since a lot of travellers go there because of the hype

Super good bagel. Lighter and tastier than the ones I've had in Toronto. Very fresh ingredients and well priced. Worth the visit

The bagels are really good here. Got an everything bagel with cream cheese and smoked salmon and capers recently. Sat on the patio and had a great time.

Stopped for lunch and refuel for some snack.
The bakery side was a 5 star and loved the bagels and everything they had.
Loved seeing them make the bagels in front of me in the hot oven. The staff were friendly and helpful.

The quick service side for lunch was not worth it. For the price of a sandwich and a coffee I could have eaten in any restaurant. (Paid around $18 for a bagel and a coffee) Not worth them slapping the cream cheese on the bun for 4x the price.

Your better off just buying the bagels and the cream cheese and making your own sandwich on the bake side.

Seems line its one of the common complaints by most.

Their bagels are excellent.

I had their original and found it wasn't all that special. But I also tried their breakfast deluxe and oh wow! So good. Prices are reasonable, staff is friendly. Worth the visit and wait.

Quaint resto café bakery located in the hub of the plateau district which offers up Montreal's best bagel. From your smoked salmon and cream cheese to breakfast bagels with bacon and eggs inside. Great coffee and a fun streetview of the vibrant plateau life. Be sure to leave with a bag of fresh hot steamy chewy bagels!

First time in this part of the branch, was pretty quick and good service! Same good quality of bagels!

We had the Breakfast deluxe and a traditional. Both were fantastic! The traditional offered a balance of flavors that made me want more. The breakfast deluxe with ham on am all dressed was great. Proceed with caution as the egg yoke will get a little messy but definitely worth the extra napkins.

This place can be a little pricey but with fresh bagels being made all day you really don't mind paying. They serve up the thin crispy bagels in a variety of flavors. I ordered the lox bagel, we already know the bagel was fresh but so was the smoked salmon. The ratio of salmon to toppings was perfect. They put just the right amount of smoked salmon, I didn't feel like I needed more. Because I'm from Toronto and it was my first time here I also got a bagel with herb and garlic cream cheese and I almost wish I got more it was that good.

Even with covid-19 restriction and the line up outside it was still quick and friendly service. Next time I'm in Montreal I will be visiting again.

By far the best bagels in Montreal! Crispy on the outside, light and fluffy on the inside, they can’t be beaten.

The bagels are obviously really good but I think the sandwiches they offer here could be much better with just a little bit more effort

So it turns out, based on St. Viateur bagels, that I very much agree that Montreal makes the best bagels. Pick up a dozen if you're in town.

St Viateur’s iconic Montreal-style bagels, fresh-cut and served with cream cheese, smoked salmon, breakfast style or more. What’s not to love?

Bagel = St- Viateur Bagel. Small menu but mighty taste. Bagels are made to perfection here. Don’t forget to stand in another line if you’re just picking up a bagel. Cute little patio and friendly service

Stick with the plain. The plain bagels and sandwiches were delicious.

If you order bagels with any toppings (like an Everything bagel) the toppings get burnt and make the bagel not very good. I think the plain bagels are really good and would go back but would only order bagels without toppings.

Also, I prefered St. Viateur over Fairmont.

Any other place you've heard of when it comes to Montreal bagels. Forget about them. No, seriously, this is THE place and always has been, anybody who tells you otherwise doesn't know what they're talking about so just ignore them and go here.

I highly highly recommend the bagel BLT, the portions of bacon are unreal, I've paid three times the amount for half the quality and size in New York

Just a regular baguel.what you get is not worth what you pay at allllll.the worst is « the waiters are unbelievably rude. One came to us and said: I have been calling you for one hour and half.why don’t you answer? I told him we just ordered 8 minutes ago. He said something rude and left.the worst experience I’ve had in a restaurant in my life.we do regret the time we spent there.

Loves the bagel but coffee was not good at all, not even service l, the worst part is they're not accepting Credit Cards, I don't understand why. I hope the owner will understand this is need for the customers of they are coming only with CC, and not even taking cash or Debit card.

BEST BEST BEZT bagels I have ever had! They put sooo much butter on the bagels but it is mouth watering and so flavourful! Line are very efficient and staff's bilingualism is incredible! I would for sure go there again:) Montreal bagels are truly the best!

They served cold and hard bagels for the sandwich. Staff not helpful in recommending how to make the bagel sandwich vegan…

The best bagels I have ever tried. I had one "everything" with guacamole, and my daughter had one with smocked salmon, cream cheese and tomato. Service is fast, patio comfortable. Sandwiches are a bit expensive, but one could buy just bagels. We will definitely return and try other types of bagels.

Best bagel in Montreal, I tried sesame and plain bagel with Garlic herb and plain cream cheese. Best goes with their coffee.

Great bagels! Very fresh. Stopped in and got a dozen for $9.25 but you have to pay in cash (or Canadian debit). The sandwiches are pretty good to, I recommend getting the pesto on a lot of the sandwiches.

Je suis allé suite lavis d'amis j'ai aimé le bagel déjeuner que J'ai mangé pris à emporter, en revanche ce dimanche-là J'ai osé faire une réflexion sur le fait qu'un des préparateurs aux cheveux longs travaillait à préparer des bagels n'avait pas de filet sur la tête, on m'a répondu avec un certain mépris que cela était comme cela et c'est tout.ok et bien merci a un nom prochaine fois!

Ne vaut pas la peine que l'on s'y arrête.
Salade et tomates coupées grossièrement
Poulet même pas frais fromage dégueulasse
Trop cher pour ce que c'est.
Partie prendre une pizza surgelée.

Les meilleurs bagel en ville. J'adore pouvoir apporter mon sac, cependant j'espere simplement que vous ne jettez pas un sac neuf a chaque fois pour prendre les bagels!

Amazing place - long line but worth the wait. Super service. Insanely good bagels (get sesame seed) loaded with choices - huge portion for $ - great atmosphere.would go back -

Down to earth service and good quality food at reasonable price. We went there twice in the same trip. Ordered Breakfast Sandwich Bagel with the Salad of the Day (Sweet Potato) and a Montreal Smoke Meat Bagel with the soup of the day (Chicken soup with Ozo and spinach). Large portion at $15/ $17. Drinks were relatively pricey when compared to food. A lot of food for two ladies, luckily we were very hungry. Went back again for smoke salmon bagel. This time we were not as hungry. So we only ordered one "meal" (bagel with side salad/ soup) and an extra bagel with cream cheese. Perfect amount of food this time. Recommend this for travellers who doesn't have a fridge and can't take leftover back to hotel.

Nice cafe but I grew up in NYC and nothing beats a NY bagel! Putting that aside, the food here is pretty good and they offer alcoholic laced coffee but you must make a food purchase with it. Also, they dont accept credit cards so make sure you have cash when you go.

I had my brunch there today, I ordered the Classic (Bagel with smoked salmon, cream cheese, Onion slices, Tomato and capers) with Tuna salad (Caned Tuna, with diced celery, ball-peppers, 1 leaf of lettuce and a slice of tomato). My opinion is:

For the bagel Sandwich
1-The smoked Salmon is tasteless (need more seasoning while curing)
2- the bagel over toasted.

For the Tuna Salad:
1- The salad over all was tasteless (again)
2-No dressing
3- It is canned.
4-The ratio between tuna and vegetables was a disaster (90% tuna - 10% celery, bell peppers and ONE leaf of lettuce).

For the service:
1- The order came fast
2- The waiters are not trained enough to give the customers a good experience.

For the interior and exterior:
1- The design is beautiful
2- Cleanliness is good
3- Location is accessible easily.

In general
1- Price to portion is good.
2- The over all experience was less than expected
3- I don’t think that I will visit it again.

Great service, clean and very welcoming.
Certain sides like butters, peanut butters, jams etc are sold sepreatly.
Food taste really fresh, the eggs were my favourite part, but overall the food was exceptional!

Overated comparer à Fairmont bagel. Les bagels ne sont pas aussi bon et pas aussi authentique, c'est très commercial.je ne suis pas là pour faire de la pub mais bon.

Always come here when visiting Montreal! Best bagels for Montréal style bagels.you can get them warm straight outta the oven.
Several locations across Montreal.
If you aren't much of a bagel fan, try here it will change ur taste buds.
My fav locations are un Mile End & Monkland.

Great bagel place. The wood stove oven cooked the bagels to perfection. When left the lineup was out the door. While I was paying I stated that they should start one of these in Toronto. The server replied stating that they ship a lot of bagels to Toronto from their website. When we got home we ordered several dozen. They were good but I don’t have wood stove oven.

Very overrated. Very small place. Went there for breakfast at 11 am. We were waiting for 1.5 hours. Place is not organized. Service slow. Not pleasant. We all ordered different bagel sandwiches to try. All the bagels we got were sesame bagels. Food is good but nothing out of the ordinary. The pea soup was very good.

Been in this place twice and find that the service and food quality is consistently great. The waitress, Melissa is quite fun, attentive and interactive. She made sure that all customers are attended appropriately. The bagels here are great tasting, tried the salt and rosemary and sesame. Coffee, both flavored and regular are also fantastic. Price wise, it's average. I would definitely recommend that you try this out.

Got breakfast everyday here when we were in montreal, definitely good food! Not the friendliest to english-only speakers, but the croissants were excellent.

I love this place but no credit cards? And only Canadian Debit cards? ! So.you’re purposefully not welcoming tourists anymore? On such a busy street as Mont-Royal? Very strange and disappointing.
