Since its our first time in Montreal, we had to try this. We went there at around 830. It was quite far from Old Montreal where we stayed. We had the sesame bagel which was freshly baked and the all dressed bagel. Both were delicious! I liked the all dressed better. What's missing was the various cream cheese flavours that bagel shops typically offer. But there were tubs of philadelphia in the fridge which you can buy. There's no seating as well. We got some bagels to bring home to Toronto which they put in a plastic bag. Compared to Fairmount which we also tried, my husband and I agree that St Viateur is better...it was softer and less dense.
