I really don't understand why Fairmont Bagel gets the buzz - St-Viateur is where it's at if you want a great bagel, lots of choice in preparations (I had the Plateau - yummy), and a cup of coffee. They have nice open air seating with the large windows facing the street. The service was snappy and friendly, and the prices were fine. Cup of coffee, $2. Not bad.
Tourists - this is your place for an authentic Montreal bagel with delicious fixings!
