Diners frequently praise the thoughtful complimentary touches, such as small fruit plates, smoothie shots, and banana bread provided upon arrival.

The best brunch I've had so far in Montreal! I've eaten there twice now -- brought a larger group the second time & everyone was super happy with their food. My favourite was the benedicto! That chipotle sauce is plate-licking good (though I refrained, being in public & all). Kudos to the chef that created that.
I also love that they include coffee with the meal, & bring little fruit & smoothie & banana bread treats while you wait for your order to arrive. Such a nice touch.
I'll be returning often. Grateful to have this place in my neighborhood 💛
P.s. I saw pictures of a cute patio setup on Google Maps but there was no sign of it in person, curious what happened to that! Would love to hang on the patio with a smoothie sometime if it ever opens back up.
Great place for amazing brunch/breakfast. We came with a friend for a relaxed weekend brunch & ended up spending about four hours I suppose.
Food was great, very well presented & good portions. We went for an Omelette a la Poblana & Vegano. Both came with a fruit plate & a smoothie. Also ordered a coffee (refillable) & a dessert. Everything was absolutely amazing, except the sesame bread which was burnt from the bottom. Service was really great. Omelette a la Poblana absolutely recommended.
Definitely coming back & bringing more friends here.
Alejandro absolutely impressed me with its incredible food. Every dish was perfectly prepared, bursting with flavour, & beautifully plated. The complimentary bread & fresh fruit were such a thoughtful touch.
The only downside was that it seemed like the staff were stretched thin, & while they were polite & courteous, the wait time were long. That said, the food more than made up for it, & I'd definitely return.

We had an incredible breakfast at Alejandro in Montreal. This spot is a must-visit for anyone looking for flavourful brunch dishes with a Mexican twist. We tried the Benedicto, chilaquiles, & poblano omelette, & every bite was delicious. The eggs on the Benedict were perfectly poached medium, the sauce was rich & smooth, & the shredded chipotle ham added just the right balance of sweet & spicy.
Before our meals, the staff treated us to a fresh fruit plate, a smoothie shot, & a slice of walnut banana bread. Such thoughtful touches & great value. The ambiance was warm & welcoming, making it a perfect spot for weekend brunch or a casual breakfast in Montreal. If you're searching for authentic Mexican brunch, Alejandro should be at the top of your list.
Cute little place with great food. Staff were super friendly & brought us some bread for the table, & we each got a complimentary fruit salad & smoothie shot.
Will definitely be back. Thank you for a great brunch!
Lovely experience overall! The service, the little extras(fruit,smoothie,& little bread) & the main meal, all contributed to a lovely afternoon experience. I would certainly return. Thanks to my server Santiago, as he was very quick & friendly. 😊
Super friendly service with a couple unexpected treats before the meal: a nice pecan bread & really good smoothie shots. Food itself was great, I had a nice fusion poutine, (massive) pancakes, burrito, & benedict were all good too. Hot chocolate was lovely! People told us to go to the Village & I figured brunch would be the best time for it - I was right. 10/10 experience.
Such a great find! So good I forgot to take a picture until we were halfway through our meals. We came to Montreal for a weekend trip from NY. Our Airbnb was a two min walk from this place. Everything was fresh & delicious, beyond reasonable pricing & just excellent. I got the fresh toast & El Nopal smoothie which was refreshing & exactly what I needed. The fresh toast was so perfectly balance you didn't even need the maple syrup! The walnut cream & fresh fruit was complement enough. My husband got the Végon & his avocado toast with mango was so fresh, the mango was a dream! Coffee was smooth & delicious & the complementary bread that was served with the coffee was a perfect appetizer. Service was kind & welcoming, highly recommend for a fresh, healthy & delicious meal. We came around 9 AM on a Saturday & were the only diners in there. I suspect it gets busier later in the day but we are early risers & we're delighted to be able to get in without any wait. Don't miss this place!
