Au 316 avenue du Mont-Royal Est, cela fait plus de 30 ans qu’on aime le kouing-amann.
Véritable café de quartier, patron et employés s’unissent pour proposer chaque jour, des viennoiseries gourmandes (faites avec passion !), des sandwichs frais ainsi que le fameux kouing-amann.
Laissez-vous tenter par un moment de gourmandise dans une ambiance familiale et chaleureuse qui dure maintenant depuis près de trois décennies.
Au Kouing-Amann est largement salué pour sa pâtisserie éponyme, un beurre et caramel croquant avec un intérieur tendre qui fond en bouche, souvent décrit comme le meilleur Kouign Amann de Montréal, et les croissants ainsi que le croissant aux amandes sont également mis en avant; la boutique est petite et chaleureuse, avec peu de places assises et une prédominance du service à emporter, tandis que le personnel est régulièrement apprécié pour sa gentillesse et son efficacité; les horaires peuvent être limités ou variables selon les jours, il faut donc prévoir; globalement, les avis soulignent la fraîcheur, l équilibre et les saveurs beurrées riches, faisant de cette boulangerie une adresse incontournable pour les amateurs de viennoiseries à Montréal et souvent digne de revenir pour en ramener un chez soi.
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.
Did a quick stop here yesterday on the recommendation of a friend. I tried the Kouign Amann for the first time, & wow, I'm ready to make the 5hr drive back for more. So very good! Buttery, flakey, with that caramelized top. It was a religious experience in every bite!
Also had their almond croissant which was also very good.
I will definitely find a reason to come back.

We made a quick pitstop here on our walk to La Banquise. This bakery was delicious 😋 Everything we tried was so buttery & perfectly not too sweet. I've never had a kouign amann that looked like a slice of pie but it was a welcome surprise because it was the best kouign amann I've ever had. I'd definitely come again.
Finally I visited here! The store was closed when I visit here last time. I was really happy to have the iconic Kouign amann! The shape is unique! I wish I could purchase the whole one. It's very soft, & buttery. The bottom is slightly caramelized. I would say not crunch but the taste is amazing. I didn't try another pastries. I want to try some next time!
The most deliciously buttery pastry bites in all of Montreal. Their kouign amann is simply the most delectable baked item I have ever tasted in my life. It is the epitome of sweet, caramelized buttery, flaky. Also had an almond croissant which was probably the best croissant I've had. Looked a bit flat & deflated but was just as sweet, buttery, flaky, & delicious as the kouign amann. Both smelt & tasted so good they was gone before I had the chance to take any photos. Truly a must visit bakery.
What a phenomenal pastry shop &, more specifically, pastry itself! One slice was more than enough for the two of us because it's so tremendously buttery, but it's delicious & I wish we could've brought one home with us to share! The almond croissants looked a little flat, but the plain ones looked & smelled good.
A life-changing viennoiserie experience! The croissant had so many incredibly crisp, thin layers, that you could practically see through, which shattered with every intensely buttery bite. The namesake Kouign Amann was gorgeously buttery & caramelized. Even the apple turnover was remarkable! We went back the next day before heading home & couldn't have been happier! I might move to Montréal just to have access to this incredible bakery!
I don't know how people in this city stay so skinny with a place like this around. We've never had Kouign Amann & it was so good, we came back multiple times on our 9 day trip. The signature offering is very buttery with a nice crispy surface somewhat similar to a good croissant. I wouldn't visit Montréal without sampling this place.

It would've been a shame if they didn't do their namesake justice...but they absolutely knocked it out of the park! Excellent Kouign Amann with a crispy sweet exterior & flaky buttery interior. Would've loved to also try their croissants but they sell out quick!
ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS. Perfect balance of sweet & salty, fluffy & crispy, buttery & flaky...all the things 🥹 Whatever you plan to order, get extra. Especially if you are visiting. Yes, it is that good.
Must visit when in Montreal! Their kouign-amann is so buttery but not overly sweet. Their apple puff pastries, their pain au chocolat, their croissants (cheese croissants, almond croissants, plain croissants) are all amazing, classic textbook viennoiserie tradition. Their hot chocolate is not overly sweet, which goes very well with a slice of warm kouign-amann on a cold winter day. The place is near Mont-Royal station. It has this lovely vibe of old historic Montreal store in the inside, from the decor to the music they play. There are only two small tables (2-3 chairs per table), but the pastries get sold so steadily that, whenever I visit, the pastries are always warm & fresh of the oven. I've never able to take a picture because I forget everything except eating when I hold their pastries.

Brought back from Montreal, their most famous item is the kouign-amann, a caramelized butter pastry. I purchased a 6-inch one. Heating it briefly in the microwave enhances the texture remarkably. The exterior remains crispy due to the caramelization, while the interior is soft & buttery, resembling a cross between cake & bread. It's sweet & aromatic, perfect to pair with a cup of coffee.
Been going here for years. Will never stop returning so long as they continue to have those buttery pastries (kouign amann) & fresh delicate croissants.
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!
