"A small, dedicated Montreal-style bagel bakery in Griffintown opened by local couple Alexandra Grenier and Damien Cussac rescues residents from trips to Mile End or less-than-fresh grocery alternatives. Grenier spent over a year perfecting her bagel-baking skills, selling them out of her home, and the shop is a non-chain effort that sticks to the classics—sesame, poppy, and plain—plus one special Griffintown bagel whose contents are currently a mystery. With about a dozen seats and counter service, Le Trou serves to-go bagels as well as ready-to-eat sandwiches and coffee, making it a viable breakfast and lunch option. The bakery partially opened this week and held its official opening on Saturday, February 9 (National Bagel Day); it is open at 1845 William from 7:30 a.m. to 7 p.m. Tuesday to Friday and 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday and Sunday, closed Monday." - Tim Forster
