Bakery in Montreal

By Claudia Itzkowich

Kouign Amann, one of my favorite bakeries in Montreal -mind you, there are quite a few!- serves French pastries in straw baskets, wrapped in wax paper. No styrofoam in this tiny place filled with the most irresistible smell of butter... but my frangipane cake with berries and pistacchios was as heavenly as usual on my enamel plate.
