| - The Spot
A true classic. You can't come to Montreal and not have Montreal bagels, and two places, Saint Viateur and Fairmount Bagels, are the two staples to get them at (though not if you count the numerous other spots around the city that they ship their wares to). We won't name favourites, so you had better visit both for good measure.
What's Really Good?
The staff does their job. The location is a building. The atmosphere is the atmosphere. It's the chewy, fresh-out-of-the-oven bagels that you really go for. Though, in addition to bagels, you can pick up bagel peripherals such as cream cheese and other dairy products, as well as pickles. All the best stuff, of course. The oven is right there in the room and the delicious golden rings spill down the ramp and straight to the counter as they're made, so you'll get a firsthand look at the process.
You'll Wanna Know
As mentioned, St-Viateur Bagel has multiple locations in Montreal, but we recommend this one, as it caters more to the walk-in customer. But keep in mind that while it's open to the public, this spot exists mainly to produce bagels for multiple outlets. As such, this isn't a sit-down type of place.
