Reviews consistently describe Bernie Beigne as a standout donut shop in Montreal, with fresh, soft, airy dough and a wide, well executed range of flavors from classic glazed to inventive options like maple bacon, cotton candy, and Simpson, plus the legendary large apple fritter; the donuts are often praised for being not overly sweet, generously filled, and freshly made, with many saying the plain glazed or the Boston cream are among the best ever and that the fritters are the star. The experience is enhanced by friendly, efficient service and a welcoming vibe, though lines can be long and seating is limited; still, quick turnover and helpful staff keep the mood upbeat, and the packaging and shop design add to the overall appeal. Overall, Bernie Beigne is described as among the best donuts in Montreal, frequently cited as worth the wait, and several reviews mention driving from afar to return, reinforcing its status as a must visit for donut lovers.
It's easily the best glazed donut I've ever had. Have tried many of the other dipped & flavoured ones & they are good but nothing can beat the fresh $2 glazed donut
I'm not a fan of sweets, but this place, they're working with some type of sorcery here. The donuts? Absolute madness. It's a relief I don't live in Montreal, I would've been a daily visitor & easily be 50 pounds heavier. Jokes aside, delicious products, friendly service, & great value. What more do you want? A staple for me any time I visit Montreal. Would love for these guys to open up shop in Toronto. Favourite donut was the Boston cream. Spectacular, give me 30 more.
These are some of the best donuts I've ever had. I had a powdered jelly with a cup of coffee & the combination literally almost brought tears to my eyes because it was so good. The employees were also so friendly. 10/10-a must try!

I think these are the best donuts in Montreal. We tried quite a few places, but this one is really good. The dough, flavor, & aftertaste are great, & we don't taste the old oil. We love the Boston cream, maple bacon donut, original glazed donut, Kit Kat, raspberry, & Nutella. It's super messy when you eat the Nutella, but it's worth it. We will definitely come back for more.
Vimos las donas en la vidriera y no dudamos ni un segundo en entrar. Yo pedí una de creme brulee y mis amigas de crema Boston ( tipo crema pastelera) y de key lime pie (la menos rica). Además son gigantes. Son las ricas que probé en mi vida

I grew up in the town where the first Tim Horton's opened. Back in the day (about a million years ago), it was a special thing. My dad used to buy a box of donuts for a treat. My favourite was the glazed donut. Tim Horton's fed me on late nights in University. A friend of mine owns a bunch of franchises. I generally try to never eat at a Tim Horton's because their product is so far off what it was originally. Back in the day, you had a baker on staff who came in & made donuts all night. Today, Tim's is made in a factory, delivered frozen, & made edible by some means I really don't want to think about. Walking along St. Denis, there was a woman with two young boys scarfing down a couple of awesome looking donuts. I asked her where she got them from, & she told me it was around the corner, up the street & turn left again. That was enough calorie output for me to get there. These were the donuts of my childhood. Back when donuts (or beignets as they are called in Quebec) were delicious. They're generously sized, have a number (many numbers) of flavours, & they're fantastic. Made by hand, & with love.
We loved the regular doughnut, nothing fancy, pure soft & fluffy dough with sugar dust. The texture tastes very similar to the Voodoo doughnut from west coast, softer than La beignerie. Great value for the price you pay. The fritter is humongous. But the dough is not to our taste, it was quite thin at some parts which is crispy but greasy, with a thick icing, a few bites is more than I can take. But I would definitely recommend the glacé & sucre.
