About St-Viateur Bagel

St-Viateur Bagel is a Mile End bakery that has been hand-rolling bagels since 1957. Each bagel is shaped by hand, boiled, then baked in a wood-fired oven, which gives it a dense chew and a lightly smoky crust. The sesame bagel is the one most people know.

It suits anyone curious about Montreal's bagel tradition, from longtime locals to first-time visitors. Grab a warm bag to share on a walk through Mile End, or pair the bagels with cream cheese and smoked salmon for a weekend brunch. A dozen also makes an easy, very Montreal gift to bring to friends.
