Comments:
Flagship location of the longest running bagel shop in MTL.
Seriously, there’s nothing like a fresh, hot out of the oven Montréal bagel. Especially ones from St. Viateur.
Crunchy on the outside, fluffy and soft in the middle.
Can’t go wrong with their classic sesame - eat it plain or with cream cheese and some lox - I’m drooling just thinking about it.
Also loved their blueberry bagels - splurge for this specialty.
In terms of their all-dressed… I’d skip it. The garlic always tastes burnt to me on these MTL bagel versions.
There is competition between St. Viateur, Fairmount, and R.E.A.L Bagel. It’s a tough one, what you do think?
