| - St-Viateur Bagel Shop is an Institution it's that good. Since 1957, 24/7 they've been pumping out amazing Bagels, selling over 1000 a day.
I've been coming here since I was really young and I remember Joe the owner was always cracking jokes and let me make my own bagel, dip it in the Honey Water and put it in the wood burning furnace, and get to eat some dough.. Yumm.
This place is just the best and the workers love their job and put Love into the Bagel, that's why it's that tasty.
It's light and Crunchy on the outside, chewy inside, delicately sweet, and depending on your preference the Poppy, Sesame, Plain, All Dressed all have different overall tastes to them, so pick your Fav! Also they have a good selection of cream cheese, Hummus, butter, and beverages if you plan on having a Picnic.
My favourite is the Sesame seed Bagel fresh from the oven, just plain. When buying the dozen ( or more) and bring it home , cut them in half and freeze them. That way you just pop the frozen bagel halves in the toaster and it comes out tasting fresh. Their website also offers info.
I also strongly suggest bringing the Montreal Bagels on your trips, they make great gifts. The Montreal Pierre Trudeau Airport when flying International offers the St-Viateur Bagels in sandwiches and Bagels for sale by the half Dozen/ Dozen, so if you forget or don't have time to pick up your presents, here's your chance!
Yes I love this place and will be back as long as its still making Fresh Montreal Bagels. This is a place I would take my kids when I have them.

"One of the best examples of the local style (of bagels), St-Viateur's hand-rolled, wood fire-baked, using the same Eastern European recipe they brought over half a century ago. They're very, very good." **
