Bagels are a must try item in Montreal and you will find some of the best bagels at St-Viateur Bagel. There are six St-Viateur Bagel shops in the Montreal metro area. Their flagship store St-Viateur Bagel Shop on 263 St-Viateur O. is opened 24 hrs. All others operate regular business hours. Go to their website to obtain more details. We visited the St-Viateur Bagel & Café Mont-Royal location. There is on the street meter parking. The process for metered parking is to park next to a parking number. (It usually is a letter and number). Then go to the Parking machine (English Language available), enter the parking number and then enter the amount of time. The machines take coins or credit cards.
The cafe offers take-out or sit-down options. They take cash only. No credit cards. I ordered the sesame bagel with cream cheese and lox. It was delicious! I am going to take a dozen bagels home back to New York.
