We tried the small Kouign-Amann, which comes with six perfect pieces-the absolute perfect size for our family. It was served fresh, crispy, & warm, with that flawless balance of caramelized crunch & buttery, flaky layers.

Cuando visitas una ciudad hay que buscar una experiencia completa, y en Montreal un gesto tan sencillo como pedir un kouign-amann puede convertir la visita en memorable.

Este dulce nació en Douarnenez, Bretana, hacia 1860, y se atribuye al panadero Yves-René Scordia. Su nombre significa literalmente'pastel de mantequilla' en bretón, y no engana: es como un croissant llevado al extremo, con capas de masa, azúcar caramelizado y mucha, muchísima mantequilla.

En Au Kouign-Amann, en Mont-Royal, llevan más de 35 anos sirviendo esta pequena bomba de felicidad. El local es pequeno, sencillo y con pocas mesas, pero precisamente por eso recomiendo no llevárselo corriendo: siéntate, pide café y disfrútalo despacio, crujiente por fuera, tierno y mantecoso por dentro.

Más que una pastelería, es una parada gastronómica imprescindible. Un símbolo dulce de Montreal que merece un hueco en cualquier ruta por la ciudad.

I don't get to enjoy bakeries often due to a pistachio allergy but when I visited Kouing Amann there was no pistachio on the menu so I had the privilege of ordering. My girlfriend & I sampled four of their pastries & all were excellent. The house signature pastry is beautifully layered with a textural contrast & flavor that left me speechless. This bakery is going to be a required stop on any future visit to Montreal.

Excellent bakery with a small selection. The Kouing Amann is some of the best I've had this side of the Atlantic. Fluffy, chewy & just the right amount of sweetness. A must try when visiting Montreal.
