  • Very disappointing!! Cozy atmosphere and friendly service...but that's where the positives end. I visited Brittany, France (La Bretagne) last year where I tasted a REAL kouign-amann. It's a heavy, dense and oooh so sinfully delicious cake loaded with tons of butter and crackly, caramelized sugar. One little slice is all you need to pack in a day's worth of calories! So I decided to check out this place in Montreal. A red flag went up as soon as I saw the "far breton" in the display case. It looked NOTHING at all like what I had seen in Brittany. It's supposed to be weird custardy-spongey "cake" with prunes - almost like a dense and hard flan. I then looked at their kouign-amann which kind of resembled the real thing. Since I was desperate for a sweet fix, I decided to keep an open mind and ordered 2 slices to go. Brought it home to my French b/f who immediately wrinkled his nose when he saw it. "THIS isn't kouign-amman!" We tasted it and both agreed it was a bastardized version. Sure, the outside had that nice, buttery/sugary caramelized coating...but that was it. The inside was plain and bland. (It had the consistency of a cinnamon bun, which I hate.) Anyway, this is NOT the real kouign-aman I had in France. The real deal is a lot heavier with buttery, caramelized sugar outside AND inside. I wonder if they made their version lighter to cater to the North American market. Bummer.
