| - To begin my 'tourist in your own neighborhood' stint, I stopped into St. Viateur to see what all the fuss was about.
I'll be very honest in that I'm not a bagel guru, scouring the best joints in North America for the most well rounded bagel. BUT, I like carbs, and I don't judge on the source of my carbs, so yeah I feel I'm able to leave a review on these bagels.
To start, I love the atmosphere of the cafe. Small & cozy, and you get a clear view of the massive ovens where the delectable bagels are made.
I ordered the Italian bagel with a green salad & I was incredibly pleased. How can you go wrong with Italian meats on a sweet honey whole wheat bagel? The bagels automatically come crispy - but just the right amount. And they don't skimp on the toppings. Plus, with the large serving of greens you get, you don't feel as bad for stuffing your face. That's how it works.
Next time I'm going to stick to a classic bagel and spread, though, because even though this was great, I don't feeI got the full tasting experience of the bagel itself.
