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.

Je suis Bretonne & j'ai voulu passer pendant mon séjour à Montréal , j'ai pris une portion de Kouign Amann & un chocolat chaud à emporter. Mon Gobelet, a commencé à fuir quand je marchais malheureusement. Mais le Kouign Amann était bon . Mais pas aussi bon qu'en Bretagne bien sûr. ☺️ Jolie déco intérieure 😊

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!

If you are looking for incredibly authentic french croissant then look no further. So light & buttery & the chocolate inside is rich & high quality. Perfect place for pastries!

Rich, buttery, the right amount of sweet - everything you need & want a pastry to be, the kouing amann is it. This is a must visit.

Disclaimer: I can only comment on the Kouign Amann as it was the only thing I tried. This is the best Kouign Amann I've had in Montreal! It's certainly better than anything I've tried in Toronto as well. This is my second time trying it & has become my go-to everytime I'm in Montreal.

Really wanted to try this after seeing pictures online. It was great! Visited in the late afternoon & it was pretty quiet so service was quick.
