Le Botocoin draws guests with a warm welcome and a West African inspired menu centered on authentic beignets that are crispy on the outside and fluffy inside, with classic options and indulgent supreme toppings like caramel, chocolate hazelnut, Kinder Bueno and Cookies and Cream; drinks such as baobab, hibiscus and ginger juices, along with tamarind and other refreshing options, complement the sweet treats, while savory choices like plantains and acras de morue add variety; the atmosphere is described as cozy, inviting, and reminiscent of a home kitchen, with the space and service praised as friendly, attentive and genuinely caring; several reviewers note that the beignets are fresh and not overly oily and that the flavors feel vibrant and authentic, making it worth a visit or a detour; a few comments point to a hibiscus slushie that falls short and a longer wait at times, though the staff consistently tries to make amends, and occasional hours can be unreliable; overall the impression is that Le Botocoin offers a memorable, family run dining or dessert experience with strong flavors, thoughtful service, and a sense of hospitality that makes guests want to return.

Les jus sont délicieux & très rafraîchissants, la proprio est très sympa & de bon conseil. Je recommande vivement. J'ai pris un jus d'hibiscus & des pastels au thon.
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, & perfectly fluffy inside. Just sweet enough to keep you coming back for more, they're the kind of snack that feels both nostalgic & 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 & love. The ambiance is warm, & 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.
Le Botocoin offers West African exotic flavours. Enjoy Supreme & Classic homemade fried donuts with irresistible topings such as Caramel, Choco-Hazel, Kinder Bueno, Cookies & Cream etc. 🍩
Their four fresh juices are heavenly: Baobab, Hibiscus, Tamarin & Ginger 🍹
Their menu includes some plantain, braised beef & a selection of pan|n|s & entrees 🤤

This charming counter specializes in West African beignets, bringing delightful flavors straight from Togo & Benin.
The beignets themselves are decadent. You can choose from classic options or indulge in their'supreme' toppings for an extra special treat. Each beignet is perfectly fluffy & pairs beautifully with a side of ice cream, making for a delightful dessert. 🍦😍
But it's not just about the sweet treats here! They also offer a variety of savory snacks, including crispy plantains, cod fritters (acras de morue), pastels, & more items sure to satisfy your cravings for something salty. 🌿✨
They also have a lovely selection of juices in interesting flavours such as Bissap, Ginger, Tamarind, & Baobab, each packed with lovely flavors that perfectly complement the beignets & snacks. 🥤💚
Un endroit vraiment charmant, les beignes ainsi que les jus (que la propriétaire a eu la gentillesse de nous faire gouter) étaient excellents & définitivement faits avec amour! Nous recommandons vivement le jus au tamarin & au baobab en particulier. Parfait service aussi, nous reviendrons définitivement!
Une très belle découverte, les beignets sont très bon pas trop huileux, les natures sont vraiment bons alors quand y rajoute du colis ça vient apportez la petite touche de gourmandise qu'il faut ! Les jus sont incroyables, coup de coeur pour le baobab Je dois souligner l'accueil chaleureux, bon échange avec une "gérante" qui a expliqué l'histoire des botocoins. On y reviendra certainement pour y goûter d'autres choses Seul point négatif pour nous tout de même les escaliers ça peut effrayer les personnes en situation de handicap ou les poussettes
I think it's the first time I write to make a positive review lol !! But seriously this restaurant never disappoint me , every time I order I receive what I expect, I would just say that it become a little bit oily but nothing to worry maybe it was because I order late . But except that , their food is amazing, I also miss their Accra & the klako was so delicious, if u see my message please reput it in the menu 😭

Nous adorons aller au Botocoin, mon conjoint & moi. Leurs petits beignets frits sont un vrai régal & nous sommes toujours servis avec le sourire. Mon conjoint adore leur jus de gingembre maison pour ajouter à ses Moscow Mule. Nous recommandons chaleureusement cet endroit. La seule petite chose qui pourrait vraiment être extra serait d'avoir un espace avec quelques sièges à l'extérieur pour s'asseoir & manger l'été.
