Boulangerie Alexine
A Parisian Gem in the Heart of Montmartre
Nestled in the charming hills of Montmartre, Boulangerie Alexine is a must-visit for any bakery enthusiast in Paris. We stumbled upon this gem during our lunch explorations and were instantly captivated by its warm aroma and inviting atmosphere.
A Feast for the Senses:
Stepping inside Boulangerie Alexine is like entering a wonderland of freshly baked delights. Crusty baguettes, glistening pastries, and colorful quiches line the glass display, each tempting you with its delicate beauty. The air is filled with the intoxicating scent of butter and sugar, a symphony that awakens the appetite.
Lunchtime Delights:
We opted for a classic Parisian lunch, choosing the Jambon-Beurre sandwich and a decadent chocolate éclair. The sandwich was a revelation – crusty bread layered with generous slices of buttery ham and tangy Dijon mustard. Each bite was a perfect balance of textures and flavors, a true testament to the quality of their ingredients.
The chocolate éclair was equally divine. The pastry was light and flaky, encasing a rich, creamy custard that burst with chocolatey goodness. Each bite was a delightful dance on the taste buds, leaving me wanting more.
My husband, ever the gourmand, was equally impressed with his choice. He opted for the chicken salad sandwich and a tarte tatin. The salad was a delightful surprise, packed with flavorful chunks of chicken and a tangy vinaigrette that perfectly complemented the fresh bread. And the tarte tatin? A masterpiece of caramelized apples nestled in a buttery crust, each bite a warm, gooey comfort.
Service with a Smile:
Despite the bustling lunchtime crowd, the staff at Boulangerie Alexine were incredibly friendly and patient. Our limited French was met with gentle smiles and helpful suggestions. They took the time to explain the different pastries and even offered recommendations based on our preferences.
The Verdict:
Boulangerie Alexine is more than just a bakery; it's a Parisian experience. It's the aroma of freshly baked bread, the warmth of friendly service, and the pure joy of indulging in simple, delicious food. Whether you're a seasoned gourmand or a casual bakery enthusiast, this charming Montmartre gem is sure to leave you wanting more.
Highly recommend!

Nice place for a walk. We were the only people around during our visit. We were able to see an eagle or two and a great blue heron. Learned the the ditch in back of the manor house is called a ha ha. Interesting history in relation to the area.
