Review Summary

Pâtisserie Alex Platel draws widespread praise for fresh, flavorful pastries made with evident passion, with éclairs, croissants, mille feuille, and pain au chocolat among the highlights, and the tarts, pies, and chaussons described as delicious and beautifully crafted. The bakery is seen as a true French artisanal shop, offering buttery laminated doughs, rich desserts, and an overall sense of craftsmanship that stands out in Montreal. Croissants are repeatedly called among the best, the chocolatine a must try, and the desserts generally described as addictive. Quiches are often noted as excellent, and the pastries and viennoiseries consistently praised. Service is frequently described as friendly and attentive, though some reviewers note inconsistent experiences; there is no seating inside, making it ideal for takeout or a stroll nearby. A few comments mention rising prices and a perceived dip in quality or portions in recent years, and others reference changes in name or direction. Overall, it is regarded as an exceptional bakery with a strong range of items, from classic staples to specialties, though some readers point to fluctuations in value and experience.

Bonjour mentionnez par vous même : « Nos éclairs sont fait à tous les jours & frais. Nous vous avons remboursés votre éclair qu auriez vous voulu de plus ?Nous ne comprenons pas vraiment votre démarche
Nous avons la fierté la volonté d'offrir à nos clients des produits frais » alors faites en sorte qu'ils le soient frais car nous sommes tombé , je le répète sur un ÉCLAIR TOTALEMENT PÉRIMÉ!
& le fait que vous me répondiez de la sorte confirme votre service si peu expérimenté. Vous nous avez ruiné notre dessert en soirée, un bon retour de service à la clientèle aurait été d'avoir un remboursement ( ce qui est le minimum & qui a été fait) & d'avoir un petit cadeau d'excuse, n'est-ce pas?
My god je pensais pas que ça serait à expliqué. Bonne continuation & petit conseil essayez de répondre correctement à vos clients !

The desserts are super tasty! It was recommended by a friend. Mostly for take-out. Stuff is friendly . Also, one of the best mille-feuille in town.

Bon rapport/qualité prix tant au niveau des pâtisseries que des viennoiseries, Une des rares pâtisseries à Montréal où vous trouverez des religieuses (café ou chocolat) Les croissants sont feuilletés comme il faut sans être trop gras Enfin leurs desserts sont à tomber Adresse à essayer si vous ne l'avez pas testée ✅
