I don't even like bagels, but in true tourist fashion I just ~had~ to experience a Montreal bagel and all signs pointed to St-Viateur.
First off, I saw a yelp photo of a different menu than what they had in the storefront. This menu had breakfast sandwiches galore. So I made it a point to come here for breakfast. When I arrived there was a short line that moved pretty quickly. While I'm standing in line I see their bagel options but no...sandwich options. So I get to the front and ask what's up. Teenie bopper at the counter says they don't make sandwiches as if that's the craziest thing he's ever heard someone ask. So I opted for a rosemary bagel, paid (CASH ONLY) then realized I have to buy cream cheese, jelly, butter separately. Which they ~conveniently~ sell.
At this point, I'm over it and think "well if it's that good then it doesn't need a thing". Wrong. It wasn't one of the freshly baked ones and even if it was it wouldn't have made a difference. It was chewy, incredibly bland and cold. I had two bites and was over it immediately.
Nice wall of mentions though ::sarcasm::
