Alexandre Gives Manila a Taste of France

Alexandre is a newly opened French Bakery located at 31st St. Bonifacio Global City. I first heard about it from a friend who is a fan of Alexandre’s Facebook fan page. Alexandre  opened a couple of weeks ago and is currently on a soft run.

Owned and operated by Alexandre and his family, they serve freshly baked croissant (bestseller!),  crepe, healthy salads with an unsual dressing made of avocado, lemon juice and some spices, sandwiches made of  perfectly baked baguette and more.

For our first visit to Alexandre we ordered the Salad D Monacco (Shrimp Salad) – Highly recommended for weight watchers. The shrimp is definitely fresh, if I must say so.

Crepe a La Mangue (Mango Crepe)

Chocolate Croissant —- Best Croissant I’ve ever tasted so far. Too bad the chocolate almond croissant was already sold out. That gives us a reason to come back soon.

The Shrimp Salad comes with a basket of several varieties of freshly baked breads…

We also took home some of Alexandre’s bread including a baguette, round wallnut bread and of course two pieces of Chocolate Croissant. For drinks, we’ve had  Cafe Americano and Cappuccino. Not really great but the bread more than compensate for the coffee.

And there’s Alexandre, beside him is my wife and beside her is Alexandre’s wife.

If you love authentic French bread, go visit Alexandre. You won’t regret it.
