Taste delicious churros in Montréal
Winter and summer, these little fried pastries sprinkled with flavored sugar, sometimes stuffed, sometimes served with a dip, crispy and crunchy, are real gourmet pleasures. Churros originated in Spain and became popular in Latin America, and they have captured the hearts and palates of Montrealers. Here are nine places in Montréal to taste delicious churros, from traditional recipes to quirky takes on this yummy dessert.

An institution on Saint-Laurent Boulevard since 1950, Boulangerie Samos is a gourmet landmark not only for locals and visitors alike. You’ll find typical South American products, both salty and sweet, including delicious freshly fried churros every day.
Chichi Café
The Chichi Café is constantly reinventing this beloved dessert with chichi cones, churros served sweet poutine style, or even as a cake. If you are more of the traditional type, go for the chichis.
Ibericos
At the Ibericos restaurant – but especially at the café called Ibericos Café - Merkat, located just upstairs – you can lounge in armchairs enjoying a cone of churros along with a hot chocolate, the combination recommended by Chef Haissam. Quick-fried with orange zest sugar, they are simply divine!
