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.

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!

Smoked salmon bagel is always a treat! Lovely bagel shop-worth a stop if you're in the neighbourhood.

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...
