Au Kouing-Amann Montreal Restaurant: Menu, Reviews & Reserve (2026)
Desserts & SweetsPastriesCaféSandwiches

At 316 avenue du Mont-Royal Est, we've been loving the kouing-amann for over 30 years.

A true neighborhood café, the owner and employees work together to offer gourmet pastries (made with passion!), fresh sandwiches and the famous kouing-amann.

Let yourself be tempted by a moment of greed in a warm family atmosphere that has lasted for nearly three decades.

Review Summary

Au Kouing-Amann is widely praised for its namesake pastry, a buttery, caramelized treat with a crispy crust and a soft, melt-in-your-mouth center, frequently described as the best Kouign Amann in Montreal, with croissants and almond croissants also highlighted; the shop is small and cozy, with limited seating and a tendency toward takeout, while the staff are consistently friendly and helpful; opening hours can be limited or vary by day, so planning ahead is advised; overall, reviews celebrate freshness, balance, and rich butter flavors, making Au Kouing-Amann a must-visit for pastry lovers in Montreal and often worth buying a whole Kouign Amann to take home.

Kouign Amann is delicious! Bakery staff was so nice. Brought some home to freeze with directions on how to reheat!

The most deliciously buttery pastry bites in all of Montreal. Their kouign amann is simply the most delectable baked item I have ever tasted in my life. It is the epitome of sweet, caramelized buttery, flaky. Also had an almond croissant which was probably the best croissant I've had. Looked a bit flat & deflated but was just as sweet, buttery, flaky, & delicious as the kouign amann. Both smelt & tasted so good they was gone before I had the chance to take any photos. Truly a must visit bakery.

A life-changing viennoiserie experience! The croissant had so many incredibly crisp, thin layers, that you could practically see through, which shattered with every intensely buttery bite. The namesake Kouign Amann was gorgeously buttery & caramelized. Even the apple turnover was remarkable! We went back the next day before heading home & couldn't have been happier! I might move to Montréal just to have access to this incredible bakery!

I had never before had "kouing-amann". I wish I had gotten more than one piece before the bakery will be on vacation for a month. This is literally the best pastry I have ever tasted.

I've been searching all my life for the best croissant. & this is the place!!! The best croissant in the world!!!! It is amazing. You can taste the savory & sweet butter inside. Which is exactly how I like it. I wish all bakery make the same croissant with lots of butter. The kouign amann was amazing too. I ate too much lol But it's the best. I would come here everyday if I could.

Ok let me tell you guys, if you see that little bakery & dont stop, you are stupide,😅 no sorry, seriously it remind me Europ when i was in vacation, the taste is absolutly amezing & i understand why there is so many peoples during the day, im here since 10 minutes & i seen little over 25 persons. So i suggest alot to stop by & ask for a Kouing Amann with a coffee or hot chocolate, you wont regreet it at all. I give 10 stars on 5. Enjoy.😋 adress 316, mont-royal east.

This review is long overdue... I visited the bakery back in November while on holidays in Montreal. I tried everything they had & have been dreaming of it all since. The standards were set too high & now I can't enjoy a croissant anywhere else (writing to you from NYC) I would return to Montreal just for this bakery. Thank you for the unforgettable food experience

Very attractive smell when you come to the bakery store. Pastries are good, but basically only for take out. Always packed with customers, most likely no seats.
