Pâtisserie Alex Platel

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.

Je viens souvent boire un café avec une viennoiserie, le personnel est charmant, la pâtissière est ouverte à toutes les suggestions. Le petit moment que je passe ici m'est précieux. J'aimerais encore plus d'achalandage, Je conseille vivement aux gens de westmount & d'ailleurs, d'encourager ce commerce qui mérite toute notre attention.
PS: les pâtissières, les viennoiseries & tout le reste……délicieux!

The best bakery in Westmount, delicious almond croissants & chocolatines. They do not stint on the butter, unlike some other places in the neighbourhood.
