"Tucked on William Street in Griffintown in a bright, concrete-floored space on the ground floor of a bricky loft building, Le Trou—opened this year by Alexandra Grenier and Damien Cussac after Grenier began baking bagels at home—sells Grenier’s own bagel recipe; the bagels are all hand-rolled and baked in a Wood Stone-branded oven (using a gas-powered flame instead of a wood-burning fire), an approach that respects traditional Montreal methods while aiming to be a bit greener, and it fills a local gap as the only Montreal-style bagel bakery in the entire Sud-Ouest borough." - Ashley Joseph
