I was really looking forward to trying a Montr\u00e9al bagel, especially after getting a taste of wood-fired bagels in Ottawa at Kettleman's. St. Viateur was disappointing - I got a multi-grain bagel with regular cream cheese. The bagel had that great wood-fired crunch, but the texture was dry and the flavor was extremely bland, like the bagel was no-salt-added. The location and shop itself were great. We had a nice time, but I wouldn't go back for a bagel.
