Kouign Amann Montreal

Did you say 'butter'?

Julie from Montreal

About me Very curious about new places, ideas and trends. I enjoy meeting new people, share thoughts and culture. I think I can say ‘fascinated about differences’. I work as a web project manager for Radio-Canada and I'm pretty stimulated by the new projects I work on. Travels inspire me a lot. I’ve visited a few cities in Europe, lived for half a year in Copenhagen, and p...
""Kouign Amann" Montreal Chocolate is a charming little outdated and colorful decor bakery, and we don't want it to change! Try their raspberry Danish."

I set foot here almost every day, to say the least! The sweetness of the pastries in my mouth calls me every morning on my way to work. I yield.

Chocolate, plain and cheese croissant, raspberry danish (definitely my favorite!), and the list goes on, without of course forgetting the famous Kouign Amann (pronounced queen-a-man), literally butter-cake, which is layers of bread dough with a mixture of butter and caramelized sugar. Crisp on the outside and melting on the inside... Tell me you're not tempted right now?!

This charming little outdated and colorful decor bakery is often quite full of people fond of their work, as I am - and we don't want it to change! While waiting, we observe the bakers do their work and have fun - the atmosphere is relaxed, familiar and the staff, charming - spellbound by the smell of coffee and baked bread. A pretty nice morning routine!

Good to know: the quality beats the quantity, everything is done on the spot, freshness could not be better!

About me Very curious about new places, ideas and trends. I enjoy meeting new people, share thoughts and culture. I think I can say ‘fascinated about differences’. I work as a web project manager for Radio-Canada and I'm pretty stimulated by the new projects I work on. Travels inspire me a lot. I’ve visited a few cities in Europe, lived for half a year in Copenhagen, and practiced my Spanish several times on my trips in Central America. Why Montreal? Born in the suburbs of Montreal, I moved to the city in 1995. Since then, I’ve been rediscovering it ...
