Located right on Mont Royal Avenue - one of my favorite pedestrian streets in Montréal - this bakery was a standout discovery. I've had kouign-amann before (at O Petit Paris in Montréal & even Dominique Ansel's bakery in New York City), but the one here is by far the best I've ever tasted.
The pastry is baked in a large round, almost like a pie, then cut into wedges to serve. The texture is exactly what you want: incredibly crispy on the outside, soft & tender inside. You can order a single slice for $3.25 CAD, a small round (about 6 servings) for $18 CAD, or a large (about 12 servings) for $33 CAD.
The shop is open Wednesday to Saturday from 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. - so plan to arrive early before they sell out. The woman at the counter was very friendly & spoke both English & French, which made ordering simple.
They also offer a few other pastries (pain au chocolat, cinnamon roll, berry tart, plain croissant), but trust me - you come here for the kouign-amann. It's outstanding, & I highly recommend making a stop if you're in Montréal.
You know you've found the right bakery when the air smells like buttery heaven. Most people seemed to go for for their croissants (& yes, they're fantastic), but it surprises me how often the kouign amann gets overlooked. Their medium-sized version (about 6-7 portions) is something I could happily devour all on my own. It's rich & buttery, yet never feels heavy. I've never been to Brittany, but I imagine this is about as close to the real thing.
was lucky enough to get one of the last pieces of the day. the kouing amann is perfection! lovely staff, definitely worth a visit while in montreal
Really excellent options, despite a small selection. The Kouing Amann is so good, feel like you could eat a small one to yourself. Also, the chocolate croissant is the best in the area. The workers are super nice & passionate about what they do here. Small seating options, but there's street seating (until mid-October)
Nothing special & doesn't match the very high price you will be paying
