Review Summary

Le Trou is widely regarded as a fantastic spot for fresh, Montreal style bagels that feature a perfect balance of a crispy exterior and a chewy interior. Many visitors praise the high quality of the ingredients and the flavorful sandwich options, often comparing the bagels favorably to the most famous establishments in the city. The atmosphere is generally described as cozy and welcoming, with staff frequently noted for their friendliness and passion. While the majority of guests have a wonderful experience, some reviews mention inconsistencies regarding service speed, occasional limited availability of bagel flavors later in the day, and concerns about the value of portion sizes relative to price. Despite these mixed remarks about temperature in the small shop and occasional order errors, it remains a popular local destination for those seeking a delicious and authentic bagel experience.

Best bagel in Montreal! Always fresh, the recipes are excellent. My favs are: bagel deluxe for breakfast & smoked salmon for lunch.

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.

I was on a visit to Montreal recently, & being that the city is famous for their bagels, having them for breakfast was a must. This place went beyond my expectations... I appreciate that you can see how the bagels are made fresh & the artisan process. Best smoked salmon bagel I've had in my life!

Unreal food. I'm from out of city so naturally I had to try to find the best bagel in town. I just ate their breakfast bagel & I am just sitting here savouring the taste. Very simple menu with great ingredients for a nice price. What more could you ask for? Ps I didn't take any photos because I completely devoured it in just a minute or so. So good!!! I'll be back, probably in the next hour or so. 😂🫡🤛

Loved their vegetarian bagel sandwich with Hummus, Avocado, Lettuce, Onions & Tomatoes. Perfect breakfast meal. The bagels were freshly baked as well. We tried their sesame bagels & those were really good.

Was in town from NYC & heard great things about Montreal-style bagels, so I tried the Cinnamon Raisin & Everything bagels here - delicious! So good that I returned within the hour to buy a half-dozen to travel back with me. I got the "Bagel Saumon Fumé" on an Everything bagel & the Cinnamon Raisin to go. The service was fast, kind, & attentive (Thanks, Moe!). Highly recommend for a breakfast to take with you for a nearby park & canal stroll.
