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.
