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.
Les avis convergent sur Au Kouing-Amann comme une petite boulangerie bretonne où le kouign amann est la star: caramélisé à l’extérieur et moelleux à l’intérieur, dense et beurré, avec une croûte croustillante et un cœur fondant qui rappelle la Bretagne; les autres viennoiseries, notamment les croissants nature ou aux amandes et le croissant au fromage, sont aussi très prisées pour leur texture légère et leur richesse; l’expérience est complétée par une ambiance chaleureuse et un personnel accueillant et efficace, des prix raisonnables et un cadre intime, bien que l endroit soit petit et que les places assises soient limitées et que les heures d’ouverture puissent être difficiles; beaucoup évoquent des passages répétés et l env ie d y revenir, certains racontent des bouchées encore chaudes juste sorties du four et des portions entières à emporter pour prolonger le plaisir; dans l ensemble, Au Kouing-Amann est perçu comme une véritable institution de Montréal pour les amateurs de viennoiseries, offrant une dégustation mémorable, une cuisson soignée et un équilibre parfait entre douceur et beurre, même si quelques avis soulignent des variations occasionnelles et la disponibilité limitée des spécialités.
Arrived 10 min before they closed before our flights back to Vancouver. The only 2 things they had left were their croissant (they are great in its own way, slightly on the salty side) & kouign-amann, shaped like a pancake, but layers & layers of buttery pastry. I didn't know what it was & asked for a slice. The first bite made me cursed so loud. The 2 staff laughed & told my friend I was not the first one to have a reaction like that. Had to ask for additional slice to bring back to my family. If you're travelling to Montreal & making a stop here, bring a container.
Thank you again for ending my trip on such a high note.
Great bakery! Haven't had many Kouign Amann, so not sure if they are all this good but this was amazing. I like how they make sure it's served at the right temp. It was flaky, dense, soft & the exterior chewy a tiny bit in a good way. Also a great taste & balance of sweetness. Will definitely be back.
If you're in Montreal & love pastries, you absolutely have to try Kouign-Amann!
Hands down, this was one of the best pastries I've ever had. The Kouign-amann is simply amazing - perfectly caramelized sugar on the outside with rich, buttery layers on the inside. Crispy, sweet, & melt-in-your-mouth delicious.
We also tried the croissant & the almond croissant, & both were outstanding. The almond croissant is a must-try - flaky, buttery, & generously filled, with sliced almonds on top adding the perfect crunch.
It's a small place & very busy, but that just shows how good it is. Totally worth the wait. A must-visit spot in Montreal for pastry lovers!
Finally made it here while they were open after many failed attempts over the years! I got the most coveted kouign aman, some butter croissants & a couple almond croissants. They weren't the best almond croissants I've ever had but they were okay. I did however love the butter croissants & the kouign aman as I could taste the deliciousness of butter minus the greasiness. Now I have to wait 4 days for them to reopen lol
the kouign amann was the most DIVINE, DELECTABLE little treat ever. it was soooo hot & fresh & warm JUST PERFECT ON A COLD MORNING. it had a chewy, sweet caramelized-sugary crust & a super soft, mushy, comforting doughy inside. the entire thing was just oozing with butteriness, & slightly oily - paired nicely with a cup of water. i kind of want to bring an entire full 12 portion pastry home .
Golden, flaky, & worth every single crumb. ✨ 🥐
If you haven't experienced the legendary Kouign-Amann from this Plateau staple, are you even living your best Montreal life? 🏔?
Did you know that Pâtisserie Au Kouing Amann has been a neighborhood icon since 1999? For over 25 years, they've been perfecting the art of the Breton'butter cake,' staying true to the traditional methods that make their crust so perfectly caramelized & their center so melt-in-your-mouth soft. It's a little slice of Brittany right here on Mont-Royal Avenue. 🇫🇷🇨🇦
Pro tip: Get there early while they're still warm from the oven! ☕?🥧

One of my favorite bakery finds over the past year was this little bakery on Avenue Mont-Royal.
Of course the thing to get is the treat that lends the bakery its name, the kouign amman- a flaky cake with a hard shell & soft interior hailing from Brittany. If you want to get a slice to enjoy, don't make the same mistake I did & order the'small/petit'- that would get you a small cake, which is still a rather large thing to eat in one sitting. Then again, there are many worse mistakes one could make.
The other heads up is that there's only seating for two or maybe three groups, so maybe plan on picking up something to enjoy on a picnic.
Their kouign amann has genuinely made me rethink the standard. Absolutely mindblown at how good it is here, even came back & bought a whole kouign amann to bring back to Toronto. Also had their croissant au fromage & it might've one of the best i've had as well. An absolute must when visiting Montreal.
The kouign amann is one of the best pastries we've ever had in our lives oh my god. Perfectly soft, sweet, & buttery. It's not overly sweet or greasy, genuinely excellent in every aspect. We also got the butter croissant which was yummy & had a great texture as well as a unique flavour profile - we suspect it may be due to the use of whipped butter? Very cozy atmosphere & service is extremely kind. Cannot wait to come back & eat as much of the kouign amann as possible loll!!
Love the pastries here! Initially got the Almond crossaint & this raisin/orange pinwheel. The almond crossaint was freshly made & was the highlight for me! Realized that the bakery is specialized in making Kouign-amann [thus the name lol] so i ordered a slice. It was very yummy but a little too heavy for me! My boyfriend very much enjoyed it though! Should def make this a stop if you are travelling to Montreal!

This place is barely ever open so I'm glad I finally made it here for a breakfast pastry. The kouign amann is both crunchy on the outside & yet fluffy on the inside, sweet without being saccharine, absolutely delicious & totally worth the visit.
Pâtisserie Au Kouing Amann is one of our favourite pastry shops in the city. They have the worst hours (closed Sunday to Tuesday) but their kouign amann are amazing.
Grabbed a kouign amann ($3.25) & croissant au fromage ($3.50). Flaky, delicious goodness. You won't find a better kouign amann!
