Pâtisserie Alex Platel

above the majority
Westmount has been blessed & proportionately far more spoiled by the high end of artistic sweets commonly known under the name & form of pastries than gastronomic fares.
We can speak of Gascogne now in mourning of its refined delicacies. The gossip has'Rhubarbe' on Laurier
deserving praise. But the gods who adorn our city must be celebrated, because their passage which brings us honor is only ephemeral. Christian Faure, this venerable magician of dough & chocolate, takes flight to Laval. Not a total loss but a local loss! Pastry chefs exit the alcoves to fill this void & this challenge. Westmount had this opportunity to see them set up their base at the corner of Sherbrooke & Claremont. Now we see Alex Platel in a new dimension flattering the multiple classics deployed in sparkling shades.
It may be the religieux, the rum baba or the éclair that sparks the interest indulging your choice. It's the texture & the quality ingredients melting gently that will intoxicate you, begging you to savor this sweetness. Don't be enticed by my comments, but rather allow your taste buds the privilege of perception of this smooth delectable charm. On a pragmatic note, their price being lower & the quality exceeding their competitors add justification for your detour. So, take a break, & allow Alex Platel's exquisite creations to render sweet pleasure.

I went in December to ask him to make a chocolate train decoration for my son's wedding. He asked me to wait until after Christmas. I went to the store in January to speak to him in person, & followed up with an email. No reply, but an apology when I went to the store in early February. He said it would be difficult, but he would enjoy the challenge. With 3 weeks until the wedding, I followed up again & was told they would contact me soon with the details. Another week went by, so with 2 weeks left I go an email saying it was too difficult & they wouldn't be able to make my train. Now it's too late to go anywhere else or even buy a mold myself.
Poor follow up with customers, & over promising & underdelivering mean that I will never shop there again. So sorry I trusted him with this job.

Incredible baguette, pastries are good, chocolate selection for Easter & Mother's Day is wonderful (& it's the real stuff). What makes me go back is the staff. Welcoming, patient & kind… especially to my kids. Happy to have you in our neighborhood.
