| - As someone who loves donuts, I have been on a mission to find some of the most delicious homemade donuts in Montreal and came across Chez Boris. After walking 3 km to get to Chez Boris, I was excited to try what I thought would be an unforgettable donut.
Sadly, the freshly made cinnamon and sugar donuts they offer are forgettable. I've made better donuts at home, myself. The cafe filtre I had with my fresh donuts was a little disappointing.
I brought some of the special flavors home to try for breakfast tomorrow (one flavor is double chocolate, the other is lime + juniper) simply because I took the trouble to walk a half hour there and did not want to leave empty handed. When I tried them the next morning, the chocolate was okay, though the lime + juniper tasted like a gin and tonic, and it was not very moist; almost too dry to eat.
If you're in the area, it's worth checking out once. However, Chez Boris does not make a 'destination donut' worth a special trip.
I was disappointed that on my walk home, I was able to find incredible donuts for half the price of the Chez Boris specialty donuts at a small place called Boulangerie Patisserie Nouveau Samos on St. Laurent. It doesn't look special from the outside, but their donuts are amazing and not to mention huge!
