I don't know why I feel it's not as good as the Outremont Branch. But I love Alex Platel. Specially the pastries. The kouign amann is my favorite, plus gianduja croissants. But other are so good too. I have tried almost every pastry here. The are all lovely. Soft, fresh, tasty, buttery, just perfect.
The cakes are also very good. I love passion-pistach combination. What I don't like (& it's not their fault) is butter cream. Regular cream is softer & lighter. But many cakes here are made with butter cream.
Thank you Alex for baking A+ pastry for us!

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.
