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 earns widespread praise for its namesake pastry, with the kouign amann described as perfectly caramelized on the outside and melt-in-your-mouth soft and buttery inside, often hailed as one of the best pastries in Montreal. The menu also shines with croissants and other flaky specialties, though the star remains the signature treat, and warm service plus a cozy, compact setting are frequently noted. Busy periods, small seating, and occasional limited hours are common caveats, but queues are seen as a sign of popularity and the wait is often deemed worth it. Overall, Au Kouing-Amann is described as a must visit for pastry lovers, delivering consistent flavor, authentic Breton influence, and a memorable bakery experience that locals and visitors alike would return to.

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.
