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.

Super belle boulangerie bretonne avec des kouing amann authentiques. Des bons prix, semblable aux boulangeries en France. C'est pas trop sucré, c'est bien beurré, je recommande!

Je n'y était pas allée depuis plus d'un an. Nous avons appelé pour réserver notre Kouing Amann. Le cuisiner à été très sympathique & m'a recommandé de le réchauffer selon les indications marquées sur la boite. J'ai respecté les instructions à la lettre. Quelle déception. La surface était délicieuse mais tout l'intérieur était mou pas feuilleté du tout comme nous en avions l'habitude. Je ne sais pas si c'est pcq que la pâte n'était pas assez cuite ou s'il s'agit d'une nouvelle recette de type brioche qui est franchement inintéressante. Ça ne vaut pas le déplacement depuis Laval. Tellement triste. Il nous reste les 2/3 du gros Kounian Aman on essayera de le cuire plus la prochaine fois. Je m'étais souhaité ça pour mon anniversaire...je ne m'attendais pas à cet état de dégradation de la qualité. Ont ils perdu leur cuisinier ?

Located right on Mont Royal Avenue - one of my favorite pedestrian streets in Montréal - this bakery was a standout discovery. I've had kouign-amann before (at O Petit Paris in Montréal & even Dominique Ansel's bakery in New York City), but the one here is by far the best I've ever tasted.
The pastry is baked in a large round, almost like a pie, then cut into wedges to serve. The texture is exactly what you want: incredibly crispy on the outside, soft & tender inside. You can order a single slice for $3.25 CAD, a small round (about 6 servings) for $18 CAD, or a large (about 12 servings) for $33 CAD.
The shop is open Wednesday to Saturday from 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. - so plan to arrive early before they sell out. The woman at the counter was very friendly & spoke both English & French, which made ordering simple.
They also offer a few other pastries (pain au chocolat, cinnamon roll, berry tart, plain croissant), but trust me - you come here for the kouign-amann. It's outstanding, & I highly recommend making a stop if you're in Montréal.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A True Montreal Gem - Absolutely Delicious!
Pâtisserie Au Kouing Amann is one of the most memorable bakeries we have ever visited, & it deserves every bit of a 5-star rating. If you love pastries, this place is an absolute must. The moment you walk in, the air is filled with the rich, buttery aroma of freshly baked goods, & you know you're in for something special.
We tried their famous kouign amann, & it was perfection - beautifully caramelized on the outside, flaky & tender inside, with just the right balance of sweetness & butter. It's one of those pastries you remember long after you've finished eating. We also sampled a few other treats, & everything was consistently fresh & full of flavor.
The bakery itself has a cozy, authentic feel, & the staff were warm, welcoming, & happy to help with suggestions. You can tell they take pride in what they make. It's not a huge space, but it feels like a little hidden gem tucked into the heart of Montreal.
This place alone is worth a detour if you're visiting the city. I would come back in a heartbeat & highly recommend it to anyone who appreciates top-quality pastries. Easily one of the best bakery experiences in Canada!

Absolutely amazing!! I can't sing enough praises for Au Kouign Amann -- this petite, no-frills bakery is serving up some of the best pastries I've ever had. You, of course, have to get their signature item, the kouign amann. Unlike most kouign amanns you find in the US / Canada, they bake the full-size pastries & cut them into slices vs. making single-serving mini kouign amanns. This helps preserve the buttery, flaky texture in the center, while still highlighting the crunchy crust & sweet / savory syrup coating. The pastries are certainly sweet from the caramel, but they also have a great saltiness & savoriness from the salted butter; it's also extremely dense & will easily fill you up, so I'd recommend splitting it if you wanted to try anything / anywhere else.
I don't know if I'll ever make it to Brittany, but I feel like I've had an authentic taste of this classic pastry here; absolutely check out Au Kouign Amann if you're looking for a delicious, but slightly more unique, pastry in Montreal!

One of the best little hidden gems in Montreal if you can only get lucky to find their signature pastry the Kouign Amann as it's usually sold out but they said you can order a full pie ahead of time & pick it up to secure your order which I highly recommend because it just might be one of the tastiest treats you've ever tried. Above average Croissants here too & I'm sure all their other stuff is really good as well & reasonably priced 👌🏼 2024 review update has this place still staying on top with a 5 star rating as they just continue to do everything right 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

La place a été recommandé par une amie. Leur Kouign Amann est incroyable. Juste assez sucré & salé. L'extérieur croustillant & l'intérieur moelleux & encore chaud. À la première bouché je savais déjà que j'allais pensé encore & encore à cette patisserie. Je vais devoir définitivement me retenir de devoir revenir chaque jour 😋 La place est assez petite & il y avait beaucoup de monde alors nous l'avons mangé à l'extérieur sur la rue piétonnière

Le Kouign-Amann, c'est quoi ? Où peut-on en acheter ? Comment faut-il le déguster ? & si on veut le faire soi-même ? Quelle est sa recette ? Une seule recette à la Pâtisserie Au kouign aman à Mont Royal ! Cette spécialité bretonne à pur délice, frais, chaud, goûteux. Le beurre est l'un des principaux ingrédients, en effet, Kouign-Amann, une fois traduit du breton, signifie « Gâteau au beurre »😋 Quand je suis rentrée à cette pâtisserie, j'ai compris d'où vient cette bonne odeur de gâteau breton chaud & caramélisé 😃 Ils ont aussi des variétés de viennoiseries comme les croissants à prix très abordables, les croissants aux amandes, des chaussons. L'accueil était très chaleureux, amical, on se sent bien chez nous ❤️ Fortement recommandé !

I just have to thank you. My second time at the place, I live in Halifax, & I was there in August & now in March. The breads are simply delicious, the croissants melt in your mouth. But what I have to be grateful for is that last Marco I went with my daughter & she took the risk of placing our order in French (her mother tongue is Portuguese, but she learned to read, write, & speak in English). It seemed to me to be one of the chefs who served us & he was super attentive, he realized that she was out of her comfort zone but he let her order & it was great. As a result, she was very proud of her & I just have to thank her & recommend the place. Congratulations.

Wow. One of the best things I've ever eaten. Bought a half large to take home. Followed the instructions.. perfection! In a busy area, so parking is not easy, but worth it. Highly recommended.
