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.
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.
I discovered this place the last time I was back home & came here 3x times within a week. The bagels are fresh, crunchy & heavenly delicious! The service is also top notch. I recommend all bagel lovers to come & give them a try, you won't regret it!
Their bagels are so good & the prices are very reasonable. Crispy on the outside, soft on the inside-the texture is just perfect. The staff are also super friendly, which makes the experience even better. Highly recommend!
If you are a bagel fan you need to try Le Trou. Fresh bagels baked everyday. Full of flavor & homemade tastiness. I am a big fan of the Deluxe bagel in an everything bagel. Hits the spot, is salty just enough & full of flavors!
Ok, real review time.. I don't write many reviews but reading the insane posts here, I had to set the record straight.. The SESAME bagel is nowhere near a "montreal bagel".. I didn't try any of the "sandwiches" which may be fine, but we're talking bagels here.... Sticking with a pure montreal bagel, this doesn't cut it. Take the trip to st viateur, Fairmount, bagel ouest in ddo or even kettlemans in a pinch. This was the second time I got bagels after being dissapointed with texture & taste when they opened. They may look like our bagels but they have the insides of a new York bagel. I knew the second I picked one up. That's fine if you like that, but it ain't what us bagel purists are about.. Please don't consider the SESAME as a representation of a "real" montreal bagel.. It's a hybrid at best.. Also, strangely the only bagel shop I've been to, to give 12, & not 13 (bakers dozen) when you buy a dozen...
