Stamp of Approval: Alexandre
Something about Alexandre makes me want to twirl around and bust out Belle's opening song in Disney's "Beauty and the Beast."
BELLE
There goes the baker with his tray, like always
The same old bread and rolls to sell
Ev'ry morning just the same
Since the morning that we came
To this poor provincial town
BAKER
Good Morning, Belle!
BELLE
Good morning, Monsieur.

Alexandre brings to The Fort (and soon in Megamall) something authentically French. The baked goodies are to die for. I often find myself there to get my weekly stock of croissants and other pastries that I eat for breakfast right before "Showtime" :) The sweets are also wonderful as you will see from my sister's sparkly eyes in this video blog post.
The interiors are beautiful and the people who eat there are from all over the world which should say a lot about the food, the ambiance and the service. I'm glad that we, the digestive sisters Nicole came prepared in our little French outfits.
