Alejandro is widely praised for delicious, fresh tasting food with a Mexican brunch twist, with generous portions and a menu that can accommodate vegetarians. The ambiance is described as cozy, stylish, and welcoming, enhanced by friendly, attentive service and frequent complimentary touches like fruit plates, bread, and smoothie samples. Dishes such as eggs benedict with chipotle, chilaquiles, tortilla soup and poblano omelette come up as standout options, and the coffee and smoothies are noted as solid. Several reviews highlight the value and variety, with a lively but relaxed brunch vibe that can stretch into a long, enjoyable visit. Some drawbacks appear, including moments of slow service during busier times, occasional order mix-ups or missing items, a tiny bathroom, and occasional inconsistencies like a burnt sesame bread or fruits not at peak freshness. Overall, Alejandro comes across as a top choice for authentic Mexican brunch in Montreal, inviting return visits with friends.
Très bon & portion généreuse, mais le service est à revoir (ne comprend pas tout, pas de refill d'eau, pas de petite cuillère pour manger un granola, ne demande pas si la note est à splitter, etc...)
Repas délicieux!!!! Ça goûtait frais & fait maison. Amuse-bouches style déjeuner offerts en entrée, une belle touche. Notre serveuse était super gentille.
Mon seul point négatif est la salle de bain. Pièce minuscule, 1 seule toilette pour tout le resto, eau glacée dans le robinet… Pourrait être améliorée.
Dans l'ensemble, c'est une belle découverte faite grâce à un ami, j'y retournerai :)

Je recommande à 100 % ! C'est un super endroit pour déjeuner, je n'ai jamais été déçue. Le staff est vraiment adorable, la nourriture est délicieuse & très généreuse, & surtout ça change des déjeuners classiques. Une très belle découverte !
La porcion muy pequena para el precio. Pedí unas encacahuatadas y estaban frías. La mesera las puso en el microondas y las enchiladas estaban secas junto a la pequenísima porcion de frijoles que acompanaban mi plato. Lastima este restaurante ya no es ni el reflejo de lo que era antes.

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.
