St-Viateur Bagel is a famous Montreal-style bagel bakery located in the neighbourhood of Mile End in the borough of Le Plateau Mont-Royal. Established in 1957 by Myer Lewkowicz, the bakery takes its name from its street, St-Viateur Street. The bagel shop operates 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, and serves over 12,000 bagels a day.[1]

In addition to the flagship location, there are six other locations, three of which are "bagel cafés."[2]

Today, the bakery is owned by Joe Morena, and competes with the nearby Fairmount Bagel for the title of Montreal's best bagel.[3][4]
