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.
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!
Just do yourself a favor & go get a slice of the legendary kouign Aman, you won't regret it. All the pastries tasted were freshly made & delicious & the owner was so kind. Highly recommend.
Amazing place, It's a shame that they don't go open that much & close earlier than the times they put online, came all the way from the Netherlands expecting that they were still open as they said online just to get a taste, but they weren't & now I will leave in 3 days without having the opportunity to taste their pastries.
Everything was delicious. My favorite was the almond croissant. Coffee was also good. Enjoyed watching the pastries being made. Feels like a neighborhood treasure. Judging by the foot traffic, has quite the following but not uncomfortably busy or crowded. Just steady.
The hype is real. Hands down some best pastries we've had (& we are frequent travelers to Paris). Affordable & smiles aplenty from the lovely folk that work there.

Stopped in on a weekday morning about 2 hours after opening. Was able to pick up a good selection of pastries & 2 of the small kougin amann. Some things were sold out but we still had enough to choose from. Service was efficient, & they even made sure to give us the freshest pastries. A good place to grab & go - not a lot of seating, if that's what you're looking for.
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.
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!
Lovely little spot to stop at on the way to Mount Royal. Everything is extremely fresh & made with care, the pricing is very good especially considering the high quality of their pastries. Definitely our new favourite spot when visiting Montreal.

Very attractive smell when you come to the bakery store. Pastries are good, but basically only for take out. Always packed with customers, most likely no seats.
Amazing pastries. The best thing I had was the regular croissant nature. It wasn't too busy on a Tuesday morning when I went but I hear that the lines can be crazy.
