Review Summary

Le Trou is widely celebrated for its fresh, authentic Montreal style bagels that feature a perfect balance of a crispy exterior and a chewy, soft interior. Many patrons praise the high quality of the ingredients used in their sandwiches, particularly the smoked salmon and breakfast deluxe options, often describing them as some of the best in the city. The atmosphere is frequently described as warm, cozy, and welcoming, with many visitors highlighting the friendly and attentive nature of the staff. While the shop is compact and can become quite warm due to the on-site baking process, the overall consensus points to a delightful experience for those seeking a delicious, freshly prepared snack or meal in a charming neighborhood setting.

These may be the best bagels I've ever had. & I've had a lot. The dough is beautifully chewy without the chalkiness that some Montreal style bagels have. Perfection!

Très bien pour manger sur le pouce, tous les ingrédients sont très bons, le tout ensemble marche bien! Il y a plusieurs choix de bagels. Par contre, un seul choix végétarien mais celui-ci est très bon donc cela reste correct.
Bon endroit & très bon rapport qualité prix je recommande vivement. Les docks sont à 5 minutes à pied, on peut manger son bagel & aller se balader le long du canal juste après c'est très plaisant

Quelle mauvaise expérience aujourd'hui :/

- Mon bagel aux oeufs deluxe était incomplet : il manquait l'oeuf. J'ai donc dû faire 15 minutes de marche pour qu'ils le corrigent.

- Le bagel était le plus froid que j'aie jamais mangé (il avait l'air rassis).

J'aurais dû le signaler, mais je pensais qu'ils allaient arranger ça. Franchement, un bagel chaud & frais avec un oeuf aurait fait l'affaire, mais j'ai peut-être juste eu la malchance de tomber sur un mauvais bagel.

EDIT : Le propriétaire m'a généreusement offert une boisson gratuite, mais je ne me souviens pas qu'il m'ait demandé si le sandwich me convenait ou non. Je pensais qu'il m'en préparerait un autre, mais peut-être s'attendait-il à ce que j'en demande un.

Honestly bagels hold up to some of the best in Montreal (you know the ones).
I got mine paired with maple butter & it almost tasted like a donut.
Outside is super hard but inside is soft so it takes a little bit of effort.
Service is very friendly too.
