Amazing service, very friendly & professional staff, classy & elegant atmosphere. We visited on St. Paddy's Day & enjoyed an amazing Irish stew alongside others dishes. Everything was delicious!
My family had a great Saturday relaxing time Chez Alexandre. Loved the owner presence.
The ice cream profiteroles was amazing.

Une bonne adresse pour goûter à la gastronomie française style bistrot. Bonne emplacement desservi par le métro Peel, à quelques minutes de l'hyper centre de Montréal.
Il y a un espace fumeurs & une petite cave à cigares pour toutes les bourses ( de $35 à 75$, exclusivement des cigares cubains, quand je suis passé).
Édit: je suis repassé un samedi après midi. La salle fumeur est encore plus agréable avec du monde! Cette fois, j'ai ramené mon cigare - Nicaragua/Honduras c'est bien aussi ;)
A truly classy, well-established restaurant celebrating 50 years in business - & it shows.
The staff are polished, attentive, & genuinely professional, creating a warm & refined dining experience from start to finish. The food is incredibly fresh, beautifully prepared, & full of flavor.
I especially appreciated the healthy, low-carb option - a delicious salmon & lentil special that felt both satisfying & thoughtfully crafted.
The cod croquettes were a fantastic way to start, & I finished with a refreshing mango sorbet served with a delicate sesame cookie & a perfectly made cappuccino.
An elegant, memorable meal all around.

Le plaisir de se sentir un peu en France! Décor sympa & confortable, menu fidèle aux traditions, cuisson parfaite. & Alexandre, charmant & acceuillant.
Je ne pense pas que ça vaut le prix. Trop cher. Vraiment. & un peux d'abus quand on est un peux joyeux...bonne nourriture quand même. Mais je pense qu'il y a mieux
Notre soiree fut parfaite ! Nous célébrions deux anniversaires qui furent soulignés & avons terminé la soirée au salon cigare. Ambiance, employé(e)s & nourriture… génial !
I have been going to Alexandre for almost 50 years now. It is definitely an Montreal Institution. Great food, wonderful French ambiance & everyone there is so friendly. It is a place to see & be seen!! Alain is a wonderful host.
Food is good. Only problem is the service. Those 3 waitress were just gossiping behind us & didn't pay attention to their customers. We finished our main course & waited 10 mins but still nobody came. My husband had to stand up & waive them to get their attention. Also, they forgot what we ordered twice during the meal. Hope the owner can improve this.
