Le Trou is widely praised for fresh, wood fired style Montreal bagels with a chewy interior and a crispy exterior, the everything bagel and smoked salmon options getting particular love, and the sandwiches and coffee earning solid marks in a warm, welcoming atmosphere that many call a neighborhood highlight. Reviewers note the on site baking and frequent menu updates as strengths and appreciate the casual, friendly service, though some caution that the menu can feel limited, toppings can be sparse, prices can be high for what you get, and service can slow down during busy times. Indoor seating can be warm and parking in the area can be tricky, but the overall sentiment is that Le Trou delivers highly tasty bagels and a charming spot worth returning to.
The bagel itself was great, but by 3pm the only option left was poppy seed. I found the base price of the bagel to be reasonable, but charging an extra $3 just for butter felt a bit excessive.
Absolutely delicious bagels! They make them right there in the shop. They are so tasty. Service was good too. It is kinda hot in there due to them making the bagels.
Service rapide, les bagels étaient excellents ! Il faisait chaud dedans donc on a pris à emporter pour manger sur les bancs dehors. Rapport qualité prix excellent ! Je recommande
Vous voulez un super bon bagel pour débuter la journée voici l'endroit où vous le trouverez. En plus on vous le prépare de A a Z devant vous. Je recommande fortement.
But today morning, I ordered three bagels & three cups of coffee, & two bagels & coffee were served. I said that one bagel seems to be missing, & the staff seemed to recognize that. but it didn't come out for a long time.
So I said it again & it only came out. Even No Apology.. Am I sensitive?
Cute place with excellent bagels & friendly people. We got ham, egg, & cheese on Parmesan bagels. We will definitely try their other flavors next time.
The bagel itself was fresh & tasted good, but the sandwich portion was really small - definitely not worth $10 for such a tiny meal. Also, the seating inside was uncomfortably hot, & it seemed like there was no air conditioning, so we had to eat outside. Overall, disappointing for the price.

The Bagels were ok. We had the'vegge' sandwich. It would have been so much better if the sandwich was seasoned!!! No salt, pepper or any kind of addition to flavor the sandwich. The cheese was piled in the center & promptly fell out when you started eating. Lost opportunity to make it tasty bite!
I went to the place due to its good ratings & they did not disappoint. They have a good selection of different bagels & sandwiches they can prepare. You can get meat or veggie options so that most people can eat here. If you like to stay inside or sit outside in the sun, they offer both. If you wanna walk a few meters you can also enjoy your food in the park nearby. Keep up the good work.
I visited three bagel shops on my recent trip & Le Trou was by far my favorite. Great balance of firm exterior & pillowy interior & the all dressed/everything seasoning was very flavorful.
