Overall, Alejandro comes across as a warm, inviting spot with delicious, authentic Mexican flavors, generous portions, and a brunch friendly vibe, with friendly and attentive service noted by many. Praise focuses on fresh, flavorful dishes and thoughtful touches like complimentary fruit, bread, and good coffee, while some reviews mention occasional slow service when staff are stretched, order mishaps, QR code menus, no water refills, and a small bathroom. The menu is seen as varied with vegetarian options and flexible choices, and the atmosphere and reasonable prices make it a go to place for brunch or lunch for many diners.
Ce brunch est vraiment excellent & avec une super salle ! Tous les plats peuvent être transformé en végétarien, ils remplacent la viande par un autre aliment
Nous avons aussi apprécié le smoothie & le pain brioché offert.
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.

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 :).
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.
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.

Les + : le brunch est excellent, le chocolat « abuelita » est divin, il y a beaucoup de choix & une option végétarienne est possible pour chaque plat, le personnel est très accueillant.
Les petits - : service assez lent, clim à fond dans le restaurant nous avions froid & tout n'est pas servi en même temps
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.
On est tombé sur une journée qu'il manquait de personnel mais le bouffe était très bonne! Le service était lent & j'ai pas eu tout ma commande mais ça se comprend s'il manque de personnel, ça nous a été expliqué gentillement.

C'est la deuxième fois que j'y vais. Le restaurant est vraiment très bien. Le service est parfait, les quantités généreuses & les plats que j'ai pris, délicieux. Je recommande l'endroit à 100%
I've been here 10x with friends. :) The complementary fruit & smoothies/baked item always makes us feel like royalty. The eggs benedict with pulled pork is amazing. Favorite brunch place in the Plateau-ish area.
Ein ganz wunderbarer Ort mit leckeren kreativen Gerichten und Getränken und sehr freundlichem Service. Ich hatte Motulenos, was optisch ansprechend und echt lecker war mit der Soße mit schwarzen Bohnen - und einen Drink aus Mango, Banae und Cashews. Vorweg gab es einen gesunden Shot und Obst aufs Haus. Insgesamt ein sehr schönes Erlebnis!

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!
It was a great experience to eat there from lunch our waitress Andrea was extremely attentive & helpful.
Food was exquisite & beautifully arranged.
Very recommendable!!
Favourite brunch place in Montreal - it's never busy & the Benedicto, escondite, omelette, & French toast are all amazing. I bring lot of towners all the time. They also give you little smoothie samples!
Amazing service, excellent food. The atmosphere is nice (modern latin).
It's small - medium in size. Staff speaks French, Spanish, & English.
The menu is viewed through a qrcode on the tables.
Ask for the La Rosa juice. I loved it.
I also had the quesa-yuno. Very good.
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!
