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.

Cute small place with a big reputation. A bit oily for me but delicious. Had pain aux resins, a slice of their special dessert & hot chocolate

Must visit when in Montreal! Their kouign-amann is so buttery but not overly sweet. Their apple puff pastries, their pain au chocolat, their croissants (cheese croissants, almond croissants, plain croissants) are all amazing, classic textbook viennoiserie tradition. Their hot chocolate is not overly sweet, which goes very well with a slice of warm kouign-amann on a cold winter day. The place is near Mont-Royal station. It has this lovely vibe of old historic Montreal store in the inside, from the decor to the music they play. There are only two small tables (2-3 chairs per table), but the pastries get sold so steadily that, whenever I visit, the pastries are always warm & fresh of the oven. I've never able to take a picture because I forget everything except eating when I hold their pastries.

Eating a slice of their kouign amann cake makes you feel like you've died & gone to heaven. Probably the best pastry I've had in my whole life! The woman behind the counter was also lovely, so all around great experience.

Wow! The best Kouign Amann I have tasted! I have tried the ones in Paris & in a very popular Pastiserrie along St Germain & I found them very rich & sweet & not as soft as the one I tasted here! That was why when I went back to Paris couple times after, I never bothered to taste them again. The one's here were very moist & soft & not that sweet! I was very full when we came in to try some & it was so good I finished one slice & decided to buy the grand one to take back home to Toronto! The lady serving was very nice as well!! Now I am wishing I bought two grand ones!
