Overview

Established in 1957, St-Viateur Bagel is one of Montreal's most beloved institutions and a key player in the city's famous bagel scene. These hand-rolled, honey-water boiled, and wood-fired bagels have created a distinct Montreal style that differs from their New York counterparts. The 24-hour bakery has maintained traditional methods for over 60 years, with bakers hand-rolling and baking bagels in full view of customers. The shop has expanded to multiple locations but the original Mile End location remains a pilgrimage site for food lovers, often sparking friendly debates with fans of their main competitor, Fairmount Bagel.
