Le Botocoin — Restaurant in Montreal

An amazing little donut and ice cream shop with a lot of kind staff. The donuts are so chewy and delightful warm, and especially good with ice cream or doused in cinnamon sugar!

The hard ice cream is also tasty, though the scoops are usually a bit on the smaller side compared to similar ice cream shops—can't speak for soft serve. I don't mind it, since the price seems to match and the portion is good enough for me, who wants a little treat. Others might be a bit frustrated with that if they're used to bigger Instagram-worthy portions elsewhere. This place serves you ice cream and is conveniently located in my neighborhood with good hours, and I appreciate that.

Tucked away in Montreal, Le BotoCoin is an absolute treasure for anyone craving authentic African beignets. If you know, you know—but if you don’t, this is the place that will make you a believer.

Their beignets are next-level: golden brown, lightly crisp on the outside, and perfectly fluffy inside. Just sweet enough to keep you coming back for more, they’re the kind of snack that feels both nostalgic and comforting, even if it’s your first time trying them.

What makes Le BotoCoin stand out isn’t just the food—it’s the heart behind it. Every bite tastes like it was made with tradition and love. The ambiance is warm, and the people are welcoming. It’s more than just a quick stop for a snack—it feels like you're stepping into someone’s kitchen back home.

Whether you’re grabbing a few to go or sitting down to enjoy them fresh, this place is a must-visit.

They also have a lovely selection of juices in interesting flavours such as Bissap, Ginger, Tamarind, and Baobab, each packed with lovely flavors that perfectly complement the beignets and...
