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.
If you're looking for an authentic taste of Mexico in Montreal, Alejandro is a must-visit. From the moment you step inside, the ambiance transports you to a little corner of Mexico.
The food is truly exceptional & captures the essence of Mexican flavors. We started with the tortilla soup, which was a little spicy & great consistency. The chile en nogada was a standout dish-the combination of the stuffed poblano pepper with the creamy nogada sauce was perfectly balanced & incredibly flavorful. For drinks, the coffee was excellent & La Rana smoothie was a refreshing & delicious treat.
The staff is friendly & the service is great, making for an all-around wonderful dining experience. Alejandro is a fantastic spot for anyone craving delicious, authentic Mexican brunch.
We came here for brunch & we are so glad we did! Both my breakfast quesadilla & my wife's Escondito were amazing! As well as the French toast that was very unique. The coffee was the best we've had in the city, & the complimentary fruit cocktail & tiny smoothie were very welcomed. Overall one of our favorite restaurants!
Very nice brunch place. Easy to make reservation & very fast response. Interesting Mexican fusion menu for decent price. The food combos were nice, unexpected, but I was not so crazy about it. Filter coffee is included in the price. Great service & nice ambiance.
The pictures on Google Maps got us really interested to go & visit. We had often seen the restaurant from the street yet never entered. Today we decided to visit & order our brunch. We were super delighted with the reception of coffee, fresh fruit, & the smoothie shooter that was an offer from the kitchen. The fruit was really fresh & delicious. We love that extra touch with our breakfast. The main meal was delicious, the only thing slightly disappointed was the slightly overcooked egg. We prefer our eggs Benedict to have a runny yolk. Perhaps we should've mentioned that when we ordered.. the service was good yet slightly slower near the end of the meal. Very nice decor inside & delicious quality food.
What a find! Creative menu full of well balanced flavours. They bring a little sample of their delicious nut loaf & a little shooter glass of a smoothie. The coffee is actually good too! The portions are very generous & the presentation thoughtful. Everything can be made vegetarian, just ask! They will sub in vegan chorizo or shredded shiitake "meat". This is where my only small complaint comes in - they accidentally served me chicken. It wasn't a big deal to me but I know some people might've been distressed. The charming & efficient waitstaff were very apologetic & fixed it right away.
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!
I ordered a meal about 5 minutes after opening, & took about 30-40 minutes to get my food. A table of 2 ordered about 15-20 minutes after me, & had their food within minutes of me. As for the food itself, the fresh fruit & smoothie were good. Coffee was alright, nothing to write home about. All of my food for the main entree were either barely lukewarm, or simply cold. I might be more understanding if it were busy, but there were only 2 other people dining. Waited about 15 more minutes to pay & leave, only after getting up to directly ask to pay. Pretty terrible experience, unfortunately. Can't say I recommend it.
