One with smoked salmon and the other ones with just cream cheese. No scallion cream cheese or onions in a smoked lox bagel sandwich? This is definitely a first. And yuck it was not good. Even the smoked salmon tasted very low quality. The bagel did have a nice crunchy texture on the outside but the inside was way too soft with not enough chewiness. Perhaps I'm biased since I really believe I had some of the best bagels in Manhattan but this place did not even come close.

There were few people in line at 11:30am on a Sunday. Perhaps they were all at either St-Viateur or Fairmount or at one of the many summertime events happening, but I won't complain. The service was very prompt and the staff were polite. I ordered the saumon fumé on a sesame bagel and ate it there. This hit the spot. The bagel was nice and dense, the hole was large (like the traditional Montreal style bagel), and it wasn't too heavy on the cream cheese. Definitely worth the trip to Griffintown to get one of these!

This classic bagel chain business is locked in a decades-long battle with Fairmount Bagel. Perhaps…read moreit's like "Heated Rivalry" where they present themselves as public arch-enemies in the fiercely competitive world of bagel making while conducting a clandestine affair behind the ovens. OK, maybe I'm just speculating, but the rivalry story worked on Jamie W and me. It wasn't even an hour after eating the Fairmount bagels that we found ourselves here. If I was to judge the two competitive shops on optics and friendliness, St-Viateur would win hands down. The moment we opened the front door, we were dumbstruck by the sea of freshly baked bagels laid out to be picked up by the cashier. Behind the bagels, a couple of the more seasoned staff were taking bagels out of the huge brick oven (Photo 5). None of that was visible at Fairmount nor was a smile. Here the cashier was really friendly. He also happily accepted a credit card for payment. In a way, it wasn't a fair fight because we bought three bagels at Fairmount and had room for just one from here. We chose the C$1.50 Maple Apple Bagel (Photo 7) and noticed it had a slightly crunchier crust than the similar Cinnamon and Raisin from Fairmount. It was also not quite as sweet, but then we didn't bother getting cream cheese. We slightly favored Fairmount, but it was close to a dead heat. FOOD - 5 stars...I favor Fairmount slightly, but this one was very good, too AMBIANCE - 5 stars...exposure to the vintage bagel making process makes this more unique SERVICE - 4.5 stars...really friendly here TOTAL - 5 stars...the "Heated Rivalry" of bagels, right?

After having tried Montréal's iconic bagel places, was eager to go for a bagel at Kettlemans, the…read moreOntario chain's first Montréal location that happened to be (1) opened 24 hours and (2) a relatively short walking distance from my hotel. With large picture windows, seating, and bagel production able to be watched, it ended up to be a good choice. Chose Kettlemans Pumpernickel Bagel with Light Cream Cheese, a Cinnamon Puff, and a Coffee. The friendly attendant provided a pager while he prepared my baked goods. Kettlemans house coffees happen to be Lavazza, so selected the Dark Roast option. The great, super fresh Bagel also was half coated in Sesame. All was perfectly delicious at Kettlemans - plus sitting there enabled me to see one of their bakers rolling bagels, people watch, and charge my phone! Noted they had other enticing specialty treats that, had I not been on vacation with a full agenda, would have tried. Might consider next time trying their Sesame Bagel Dog! Definitely would recommend checking out this Kettlemans!

However, got close to the end of our day and saw Kettlemans Bagel store across the way from the stadium and decided to give them a try. They were not to busy at the moment, I'm sure when the hockey season is in play they get packed. The gentleman that took our order at the check in was nice and patient. I'm sure that it didn't help that we did not speak French, which seems to be the main language here in Montreal. I got the BLT and tots, the family got sandwiches as well and tots. They did have a little hiccup with our order, they forgot one of the tater tots. I let them know and they were super apologetic and made another fresh batch for us. They have an area where you can see them cutting up the dough and roll up the bagels to be made. There is an outdoor seating area (it's like a patio) or you can sit inside mostly barstools and a couple tables with chairs. The Bathroom you need to get the key from the counter, bathrooms were a bit on the dingy for being a locked up bathroom. The restaurant itself looked clean and well kept. The sandwich was good, bagel was a bit on the chewy side. Like I said the staff was nice which was the best part of the visit here.
