Review Summary

Au Kouing Amann is widely celebrated as an essential Montreal destination, with many visitors calling it the best bakery they have ever experienced. The signature kouign amann is frequently described as a heavenly masterpiece, noted for its perfect balance of a caramelized, crispy exterior and a rich, buttery, soft interior. Beyond the namesake pastry, the almond croissants and various other viennoiseries are highly praised for their freshness, delicate texture, and high-quality ingredients. The atmosphere is consistently described as cozy and welcoming, complemented by exceptionally kind and professional service. While the space is compact and popular enough to sometimes feature lines, the overall experience is considered a must-try for any pastry lover visiting the city.

One of the best pastry shops around the Plateau Mont Royal. You won't be disappointed trying Kouign Amman. But maybe sometimes they will run out. Apart from Kouign Amman, they have one of the best pain au chocolat in town. Don't miss out the soups if you want to try something hot.

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.
