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.
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! ☕?🥧

I'm reviewing this about four months later because I still think about the pastry I got from here. It was the best thing I've ever tasted. Do yourself the favor & go.
One of Montreal's best bakeries. Known for their Kouing Amann, which is a baked good I first came across in the Breton region of France. Delicious, but not good for your waistline! Also fantastic croissants.
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!!
Gentillesse amabilité & kouing amann mais horaires trop restreints en fin de semaine & viennoiseries pas au niveau de ce qu on pourrait attendre côté feuilletage !
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!
We tried Kougin-Amann, it's basic & delicious. It was a different taste like salty but sweet, idk. The service was pretty fast but there's just one cashier, so I can imagine that often times there's a long queue. The hot chocolate was decent as well, thank you!
Came here on the weekend for the kouing amann & got the chausson aux pommes too. The apple pastry was so light & flaky while being balanced & tart. The kouing amann was so delightfully buttery I was amazed. I will be back for more :) Keep in mind that their coffee machine is down sometimes.
