Notes from Quebec

Kouign Amman

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 and soft interior hailing from Brittany. If you want to get a slice to enjoy, don’t make the same mistake I did and 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.
