The taste is really good! It is different from the ones produced by ordinary assembly lines. I heard that they have opened a branch in New York. So we came for the good bagel. Took us 1 hour to get there. But things did not end up nicely. My stomach hurts a lot after eating! The hygiene conditions might be bad. First, as shown in the first picture, there are flies flying around on the bagel, and then the staff come and go and no one cares. I was stunned, and they didn't even wave them. Then the second picture is the dine in bagel we ordered called Le steak 🥯. Halfway through eating, I found out why there was something blue on the sesame seeds, which was very disgusting. It didn't look like the color of any food at all. It felt like it was moldy and expired. So we took it back and asked the girl who made the bagel. She said it might be a problem with the bakery next door. Then I looked through the window and the countertops next door were all clean, and there was no problem at all. She said she didn't know then. The cashier next to her said that it was the paint on the bag. You know, I accepted it at the first time. I said okay, because it really looked like it was on the bag. The same color. I asked them to redo it and they looked unhappy. They were also reluctant. The first sentence was not sorry, nor was yes they gonna do it, she said ‘then give back what you are eating now. ‘ Am I crazy? Would I eat the paint with a bag on it even though I knew it was covered with paint? And do you have to be so mean?
I realized after 5 minutes that something was wrong. She took it directly from the counter and put it in the oven. Why did it touch the paint on the bag? So I went back to ask her, don’t you think this is strange or odd? Why is it like this? You took it directly from the shelf and put it in the heater. Why do you need a bag? After hearing this, she felt very guilty and said: Oh, it’s because I used the bag to grab the bag. I was a little sad. I said that you shouldn’t do this, because it’s just came out of oven and it is still hot. You should grab it with the inside of the bag. Shouldn’t you put the bag inside out? At least in this way, the pattern paint on the bag will not melt on the food. It was very disgusting. She STILL didn’t say sorry. She just blushed and lowered her head with shame. If she cared at the beginning, it will not cause her any problems. In fact, we spent 50 bucks to buy three large bags. After these two things, I didn’t know whether to return it. I could only take it away silently. I thought, forget it, I don’t want to...
Read moreI was attracted by his story quoted from his website— #65+ Years of Bagel Tradition Proud to be the longest running bagel shop in Montreal, St-Viateur Bagel has been baking our famous hand-rolled, wood-fired bagels with the original recipe since 1957. A beloved landmark in the city offering a taste of Montreal’s unique bagel tradition, St-Viateur continues to uphold the same quality and dedication that has made us a favourite among locals, tourists, and celebrities alike.#
This branch is not located well frankly so that I nearly missed his entree twice but when you saw it in front of your eyes and you will fell in love with it.
A shop with stories and histories. From the side door you could find wood oven baking machines behind the shop. It’s a food factory.
I bought each flavor available to try and highly recommend sesame flavor.
I love this shop and I found they are proud of what...
Read moreI stumble across this location by chance while searching on google. It is so convenient since I work in the North Shore and don't live near the Montreal locations.
Went there on a beautiful Saturday morning at around 8:00AM. The shop is located in an industrial area where you don't really expect it. I was greeted by 2 young ladies at the counter and they were so efficient. As soon at the lady at the register handed me back the changes, the other lady already bagged everything up. I was in and out in less than 1 minute (great for grab and go). As I was in the parking lot, I saw about 5 other costumers that went in/out to pick up their bags of bagels, so it seems that it is a known spot for the locals.
The texture is near identical to the original location in Montreal. Light, soft and chewy texture, with a hint of sweetness. I will definitely go...
