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.

Nothing special. For reference, B Patisserie makes a more flavorful & better-textured Kouing-Amann, & Arsicault makes a better beurre croissant (both are in San Francisco)

Beautiful light & airy croissants. & of course, the cake that they are known for...kouing-amann is very delicious & buttery & slightly sweet. All enjoyed with our Café au lait. There are only two tiny tables there so it's really mostly takeout.

Incredible amann pastry. It was my first time trying it, it's like a honey cruller on the inside, fluffy & buttery & a crispy outer layer like a croissant but with a thicker sweet coating wrapping around it.

Must try.

THE BEST I have had in Canada. The kouign Amann is sooo good! The almond croissant & milk bread with chocolate filling is amazing. We also liked the coffee. We went back twice! Definitely worth a visit if you are in Montreal.
