"Tucked in a tiny shop on William Street in Griffintown, the sign on the window reads: “It’s the hole that makes the bagel.” Le Trou, which literally means “the hole,” offers their take on bagel holes in all their flavors to anyone who can’t decide between an everything or their beer-parmesan-flavored Griffintown bagel. Sweet tooths will want to check out the Bagel Cheesecake (a choco-cranberry bagel with cream cheese and strawberry jam) or the Bagel Burgel sandwich, with havarti and ground beef from nearby Grinder Butcher. Slide into one of the cozy booths, perch yourself at a window counter stool, or take it to Pointe des Seigneurs, a nearby park that’s right on the Lachine Canal. They’ve got a roomy spot in the heart of Rosemont, too." - Ivy Lerner-Frank

"The newest player to hit Montreal’s bagel scene is Griffintown’s Le Trou. Having been open for less than a year, this spot is still sticking to the basics: Sesame and plain varieties sit on a humble menu alongside The Griffintown, made with parmesan cheese and an IPA beer. Plus, this shop is perfectly situated to stop in for a snack before, during, or after a stroll along the canal." - Mallory Frayn
"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
"I mention new independent bakery Le Trou as a local entrant located in Griffintown." - Tim Forster
