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.

This is a place I used to go to regularly 14 years ago when I lived in Montreal. The lamination cannot be compared to those days. Kougin Amann itself is not laminated how it was & is more towards the Bretagne way now which is fine, as that is the classic. It's just lost its oumph & unique factor unfortunately. Same with the croissants, especially the cheese, lack of lamination & the cheese being laminated into the centre. The production line has changed & don't get me wrong it's still delicious, it's just not the same.

The cheese croissants & the chocolatine were great, but also get a slice of the kouign-amann. It's divine.

I love love love loooooooooove the Kouign Amann. Best thing ever. But boy it's never open, I mean the schedule makes it difficult & also there's just one small table so basically it's only take out. The service is always great & so gentle :)
