I went to Kouign Amann & tried their signature sliced kouign amann. It was one of the best pastries I've ever had-crispy on the outside, soft inside, & full of buttery, caramelized flavor. I highly recommend it.
I also tried the croissant. It was okay, but I expected it to be better. It wasn't as crispy or flaky as I was hoping.
Still dreaming about the kouign amann. It was served warm, perfectly flaky, buttery, & absolutely delectable!! We loved it so much that we came back twice during our visit. We even took a slice to go, & it was just as delicious later. Easily one of the most memorable pastries we've had while on our trip to Montreal.

We weren't sure what to expect with the kouign-amann but our slices were buttery, warm, & delicious! We lucked out & 1 of the 2 tables was available for us to enjoy them in store.
Went to Kouign Amann & tried their signature sliced kouign amann, & omg, it was genuinely one of the best pastries I've had. Perfectly flaky on the outside, soft & moist inside, with rich buttery layers & little bursts of caramelized sweetness in every bite.
The texture was incredible, crisp yet melt-in-your-mouth at the same time, & the flavor was so balanced without being overly sweet. You can really taste the quality & care put into it.
Honestly, it instantly became one of my favorite treats in the city. Definitely worth the hype & already craving another one.
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.
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!
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.
