I went for brunch time.
It was not a so busy day. Right away, I've been welcomed by the staff & could dive into a cosy ambiance, checking on the menu.
Service : All the time, the service was good, our waitress was paying attention to the table, servings lots of samples so we could feel cherished. Not too present, just what it needs so we know we are being taken care of.
Menu: the menu is really diverse, & prices are what you expect for a restaurant these days.
Food: the food was ok. That was the main downside for me. My fruits had been cut for a while, & did not look very fresh (my watermelon & mandarin were clearly dehydrated ahah). My friends had fresh fruits though. My dish was mainly sauce based, which was not to my taste. I could not differentiate the ingredients taste, or appreciate the blend. To me it was mainly sauce. I would not recommend the chilaquiles.
All in all I do not think I'll go back, but my friends are always going there so I guess you'll have to try :).
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.

To start they bring the fresh fruit , & a smooth shot as you wait for your entree. Super fresh with the best flavors Entree I had Eggs Benedict. Simply Amazing
The food here is AMAZING. I went two days in a row, & got the Escondite, the Eggs Benedict, & the El Sol smoothie. Everything was so fresh & delicious, I seriously can't wait to go again & try more items!
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.
