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.
Qu'elle belle expérience ! Dès mon arrivée, j'ai été accueillie avec un grand sourire & une attention comme on n'en voit plus beaucoup. La jeune femme qui m'a servie a pris le temps de me poser plusieurs questions pour s'assurer que je commence ma visite de la meilleure façon possible. On sent vraiment qu'ils veulent bien faire & que le client compte.
J'ai beaucoup apprécié de savoir que les produits viennent du Québec - c'est si important pour moi de manger local. Mention spéciale pour le saumon du fumoir Saint-Antoine… un vrai régal !
Seul petit bémol : il faisait un peu chaud dans le magasin. En voyant les employés travailler dans cette chaleur, j'ai eu pitié d'eux… j'espère que ça pourra s'améliorer, car ils le méritent amplement.
Bagel frais & délicieux (testé à emporter seulement)
Service désastreux - ni aimable, ni serviable (j'y suis allée 3 fois avant de donner cet avis & toujours un très mauvais service, dommage)
Their bagel made me realize how bad the Costco ones really are. This one had a perfect crispy exterior with great texture - not overly chewy like most. The smoked salmon paired beautifully with the sesame bagel, & every ingredient worked together flawlessly. Absolutely the best bagel I've ever had. I just wish I could find something this good in the U.S.!
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

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?
Quelle belle découverte. Mon guide touristique Thom, nous y à emmener pour casser la croûte & nous reposer un peut, Qualité, service, propreté des lieux & accueil chaleureux. Tout y est. J'adore
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.
