How St Viateur Makes Its Iconic Montreal-Style Bagels

So humble to name their competitor, love a friendly competition

[@elingrrr]

And their both taste deliciously 💖💖💖💖💖💖

[@valty3727]

visited from new york and can confirm st viateur is absolutely the best bagel in the world

[@chrisdooley6468]

As a Philadelphia guy who moved to Québec I can confirm 100% that La Liberté is waaay better than our cream cheese 🥯. The bagels definitely have a sweetness not present in NY style bagels but that cream cheese, tabarnak c’est absolument fantastique!!

[@JohnHausser]

Yes 👍 liberté cream cheese is the best! Even the low fat one is good

[@Consiglori25]

Now to teach them how to make proper a cheese steak lol

[@Chulaan]

New Yorkers and Jerseyans don't use Philadelphia primarily. We use Temptee cream cheese

[@urutsuki]

As a Montréal girl that moved to NYC, I can vouch for our Montréal bagels any day! NY bagels are just hard and so dense and heavy. Mtl bagels are fluffy, chewy and soft. Can't wait for this pandemic to be over so I can go back to my favorite city.

[@antigen4]

ny bagels are basically kaiser buns with a hole. no flavour to them.

[@chris2302]

I couldn't agree more. I've eaten my share of NYC-style and Montreal-style bagels and Montreal-style bagels are my favorite by far.

[@dangercat9188]

Yea our bagels are hard and fat lol. I like them but I try not to eat them a lot for health reasons. I wanna try y'all's bagels fr 🇺🇸 ❤ 🇨🇦 ✌

[@DeborahThird-og1uo]

We used to drive 6 hours to get to St. Viateurs just in time for opening. 40 years later, they’re still the best.

[@susanaparaiso1193]

I know this was recorded a while ago but it's so weird to see no people wearing masks omg

[@izeofthewrld]

It's definitely jarring. I was watching a movie that has a crowd and a part of me was like 'omg why are they not wearing masks?!'

[@jeanku]

"WOW"

[@joychung3639]

I go there yesterday and is the same. the bagel put in a pack and any employee can spit or use handpick the bagel. now is 2020, I wonder Y they don't use fork to pick bagel.

Depending of where you are, they deliver! I just received my box yesterday.

[@kasualskeptik2584]

There's a magic to eating a Montreal bagel straight from the bag, piping hot..... I've lived around the world, and there's nothing like it...

[@aleksandraszymanska4177]

Yes is popular in Poland I'm from Poland and l love this taste is delicious ❤️❤️❤️🤗💕

[@RoulinBrooks]

The best bagel in the world. Nothing better than a St. Viateur bagel. Maybe a St. Viateur "beautywich" (cream cheese, thinly sliced salmon, red onion and tomato). Heaven.

[@jgrill110]

Best bagel out there, hands down. The sweetness of the honey, with the wood-fired taste, makes them the best tasting bagel. By the way, NYT Cooking has their recipe, and it makes for a nice homemade substitute if you're constantly craving Montreal bagels, like I am.

[@davemccall6870]

Omg. Now I'm craving an all dressed bagel with salmon smear.

[@JazzFiesta]

I feel you!

[@ted.barnes]

*Shmear

[@antigen4]

‘all dressed’ is not a bagel! sesame all day baby!

[@johnnieguitar5724]

Ummm . Crispy on the outside with delicious toasted sesame seeds, soft-firm sweet inside, buttery sweet and yeasty. Perfect for my mouth! Not at all like a grocery chain bagel. I’m glad they are being flown on to Edmonton Alberta once a week now!

[@caglioso]

Took a trip to Montreal a few years ago and remember to stop by St Viateur. It really is as good as they say it is. Even compared to New York bagel I think I prefer this style. You don’t even have to put anything on it.

[@Danny4Aarch]

I can absolutely confirm they are delicious! I went in the morning one year visiting Montreal to buy a dozen for 8 people as breakfast, I ended up eating 5.... I had to make a U turn to buy another dozen. They didn't last a day!

[@TheViciousVendetta]

Love this style of video. More in depth, more detail, and thoughtful reviews.

[@JohnHausser]

I used to live in Montreal and I can confirm ! Montreal 🥯are 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

This is the place to go--definitely the best in Montreal.

[@CocinaConDaniyMel]

That looks really good to be honest🥰

[@herkythecavalier]

The best bagels! Glad you got to try them, Herrine!!

[@whatevil]

When we visited Montreal we tried both St Viateur and Fairmount... and I don't remember which one I liked better, but I can tell you that they are both extremely good and that I only very narrowly preferred one over the other.

[@AverytheCubanAmerican]

New York: Finally, a worthy opponent! Our battle will be legendary

[@mass8291]

There’s no competition Montreal has the best bagels

[@asandwich5637]

are you kidding NY bagels are the greatest bagels in the world. Montreal bagels are bagel wannabes with way worse taste.

[@kyle0091000]

@@asandwich5637 you should try it before placing your opinion, clearly you’re bias as hell. But can’t blame you, Americans lately have made lots of bad choices (like electing trump as president).

I was an avid NYC bagel eater for life until I tried a Montreal bagel 2 years ago, it’s no comparison. Montreal bagels are far better than NYC. Not even close, they are far superior in every way from crunchy exterior bathed in seeds on both side and plush inside. They are also so aromatic.
