Review Summary

Chez Alexandre et fils is widely regarded as a staple of Montreal dining, celebrated for its authentic Parisian bistro atmosphere, classic French cuisine, and the warm, welcoming presence of its owner. Many visitors praise signature dishes like the French onion soup, beef tartare, and duck confit, often highlighting the impressive quality and traditional preparation of the meals. The restaurant is frequently described as a gem that offers a comfortable, timeless environment, with the added benefit of a unique cigar lounge and a lively patio during the warmer months. While perspectives on pricing and service pacing vary, the overall sentiment reflects an appreciation for the establishment's storied history, professional staff, and consistent ability to provide a memorable, quintessentially French experience in the heart of the city.

I know it was busy due to match Fifa & what not. Priced okay, & menu was not big enough to order more. Specifically upset with the food service was okay, vibe & atmosphere was good.

Cutie little Parisian inspired spot! Welcoming & felt up scale without being pretentious.
Im from the east coast so this is bit blasphemous: I had the Moules-frites & they were some of the best I've ever had!

Beautiful place to eat & convenient for many occasions,.Friendly & professional staff. However definitely not an appropriate place for non smoking people unless you stay outside.

My favourite restaurant in Montreal. I always order the same items French Onion soup. I had a lot of French Onion soup from different places, Chez Alexandre by far has the best. Their beef tartare is great but if raw beef is not your cup of tea. You can try the cassoulet or foie gras.... also my fave but can be a little heavy.
