Review Summary

Le Trou is widely regarded as a standout destination in Montreal for its fresh, crispy, and chewy bagels that frequently draw comparisons to the city's most famous institutions. Many patrons praise the delicious, high-quality ingredients used in their sandwich selection, highlighting the breakfast deluxe and smoked salmon options as favorites. While the atmosphere is generally described as warm and cozy with friendly service, some guests note that the shop can become uncomfortably hot due to the baking process and that seating is limited. Feedback regarding value and portion sizes is mixed, with some customers feeling that certain sandwiches are overpriced or lack sufficient toppings. Despite occasional inconsistencies in service speed or ingredient availability during busy hours, the overall sentiment remains positive, with many visitors considering it a must-visit local spot for an authentic bagel experience.

I'm from New York so I've had a lot of good bagels. I wanted to try a solid Montreal bagel & this place did not disappoint. The sesame bagel I had was crispy & chewy but light. I had the vegetarian sandwich version with a slice of havarti instead of feta - so good!! I loved the bagels so much I came back to take home half a dozen to freeze! They freeze well btw!

J'ai été à 3 reprises pour donner une chance à une entreprise locale près de chez moi. Mais ce sera la dernière fois. Le bagel saumon fumé manquait de garniture. La 2e & 3e fois j'ai pris des bagels à emporter, aux sésames. Ils sont devenus secs rapidement malgré qu'ils étaient dans un sac.

Bagels are mid at best. Also only plain cream cheese available which is a choice I guess.

Bagel très médiocre, servi à peine chaud : le fromage n'était pas fondu, la salade peu appétissante & les oeufs beaucoup trop cuits. Au-delà de la qualité décevante des produits, les conditions d'hygiène semblent très mauvaises.
La cuisine ouverte derrière le comptoir laisse voir que les préparateurs ne portent même pas de gants pour la préparation. À cela s'ajoute qu'il n'y avait même pas de savon dans les toilettes, ce qui en dit long sur le niveau général d'hygiène de l'établissement…
On m'avait recommandé cet endroit, mais je suis ressortie très déçue. Entre manque de soin, hygiène douteuse & bagels sans intérêt, l'expérience est clairement à éviter.

These may be the best bagels I've ever had. & I've had a lot. The dough is beautifully chewy without the chalkiness that some Montreal style bagels have. Perfection!

Très bien pour manger sur le pouce, tous les ingrédients sont très bons, le tout ensemble marche bien! Il y a plusieurs choix de bagels. Par contre, un seul choix végétarien mais celui-ci est très bon donc cela reste correct.
Bon endroit & très bon rapport qualité prix je recommande vivement. Les docks sont à 5 minutes à pied, on peut manger son bagel & aller se balader le long du canal juste après c'est très plaisant
