Le Trou draws praise for fresh bagels, especially the everything bagel, with a crispy exterior and a soft center, and for a friendly, inviting atmosphere; the menu is described as varied and often updated, yet some reviewers find the portions small and prices a bit high for the toppings, and note that the bagels can run out or the service can be slow during peak times, though many agree the quality and value are solid and that the place often feels like a warm Montreal staple worth returning to.
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
- Mon bagel aux oeufs deluxe était incomplet : il manquait l'oeuf. J'ai donc dû faire 15 minutes de marche pour qu'ils le corrigent.
- Le bagel était le plus froid que j'aie jamais mangé (il avait l'air rassis).
J'aurais dû le signaler, mais je pensais qu'ils allaient arranger ça. Franchement, un bagel chaud & frais avec un oeuf aurait fait l'affaire, mais j'ai peut-être juste eu la malchance de tomber sur un mauvais bagel.
EDIT : Le propriétaire m'a généreusement offert une boisson gratuite, mais je ne me souviens pas qu'il m'ait demandé si le sandwich me convenait ou non. Je pensais qu'il m'en préparerait un autre, mais peut-être s'attendait-il à ce que j'en demande un.

Le Trou serves delicious bagels, soo crispy, flavorful, & perfectly done. Super welcoming to runners, & their coffee is awesome too. Great spot all around!
Honestly bagels hold up to some of the best in Montreal (you know the ones).
I got mine paired with maple butter & it almost tasted like a donut.
Outside is super hard but inside is soft so it takes a little bit of effort.
Service is very friendly too.
Love this little bagel joint. Fresh daily. Obsessed with the Everything Bagels. They're sandwiches are great! Love the atmosphere. Enjoy that they regularly add new items to the menu. I met Raphaelle in December & she was kind, inviting & goes above & beyond for her customers. She has great new & refreshing ideas & she is very passionate. I recommend this place 100%.
Good neighborhood bagels with that fresh, Montreal-style vibe - especially if you're grabbing them to go. The bagels I took home were really good later on, so we got to enjoy them for a bit longer.
That said, the menu is pretty limited, & I felt like the sandwiches were overpriced for what you get (tried the smoked salmon, breakfast deluxe & classic sesame & cream cheese). There wasn't enough toppings to justify the price, & by midday some key ingredients (like tomatoes) were already gone. Service can be a bit slow during busy times too, so be prepared for a wait if there's a line.
Overall solid bagels & a nice local spot (parking is a big plus!), but there's room for improvement in value & consistency of toppings/service.
