Alexander’s Patisserie Brings Authentic European Pastries to the Bay Area: Grand Opening October 16th
Alexander Steakhouse, known for its luxurious East-West fusion cuisine, is expanding its horizons into fine pastries and desserts. Alexander’s Patisserie is set to open October 16 at 209 Castro Street in Downtown Mountain View, bringing the first truly authentic European pastries and bakery goods to the Bay Area.
Dries Delanghe is Alexander’s Patisserie’s new Executive Pastry Chef. Born in Belgium, Chef Delanghe started baking at the tender age of 14 years old, and had formal training from Belgium’s Ter Groene Poorte school of culinary arts in baking and pastry making. He began his career at the 5-star Hotel Les Sangliers des Ardennes and Patisserie de Baere in Brussels, and continued to develop his skills at the world-renowned macaron shop, Pierre Hermé in Paris. Prior to Alexander’s Patisserie, he was Pastry Sous-Chef at MGM resort’s 3 Michelin star Joel Robuchon Restaurant in Las Vegas since 2010.
Alexander’s Patisserie will offer an extensive selection of savory and sweet treats baked fresh in-house. Ranging from breads, gourmet sandwiches, cakes, tarts, and cookies, to macarons, chocolates and other confections, all ingredients will be sourced locally and sold at an affordable price. All products will be available to enjoy in-house or to-go, and custom orders for weddings, birthdays, anniversaries and other special occasions will be available.
Chef Delanghe describes his style as “classic with a modern, playful twist”, and enjoys creating pastries with ingredients that “remind me of my childhood”. He has spent this period before the grand opening experimenting and perfecting several dessert creations—and encourages visitors to come try everything he has to offer. Alexander’s Patisserie will also serve speciality beverages and drinks, and will feature a special coffee blend, specifically designed for the bakery by Equator Coffee.
In the last stages of preparation, Alexander’s Patisserie will open its doors to the public on October 16, with special hours from 10am—10pm. Regular hours will be 6am—8pm Sunday through Wednesday, 6am—10pm Thursday through Saturday.
