We were looking for an authentic French bistro in Montreal, & Chez Alexandre was recommended to us. We decided to give it a try, & it truly was an incredible experience! My wife & I enjoyed a wonderful steak au poivre, paired with an exceptional wine & delicious fries. For starters, we had a spectacular soup of the day. To finish, we ordered the Profiterole with chocolate sauce, which was absolutely perfect. The service was impeccable as well. We were served by Bastien, who made the experience even more special. I highly recommend it to anyone looking to feel a little piece of France-a charming Parisian bistro in the heart of Montreal.View more

French bistro with a lovely staff. I had the steak, it was absolutely delicious! Would come back again soon.View more

The burger we had was fine but not remarkable. This is a typical average French brasserie like you can also find in Paris. Felt a bit like everyone was runining on automatic, lacking passion.View more

It was quite hot outside so we chose to sit inside. We did smell a bit of cigar smoke when we walked in. The restaurant does have a French brasserie & bistro feel. We ordered beef cheek with vegetables & lobster pasta. The beef cheek was flavorful & tender. Lobster pasta was tasty. Overall, I enjoyed the food even though it was a bit pricey.View more

Chez Alexandre offered quite a unique experience, perhaps influenced by our seating upstairs. Advertised as a French restaurant, the interior surprisingly had signs boasting it was an English pub. The ambiance was reminiscent of a cabaret, with the waitstaff dressed in tiny tops & mini skirts that highlighted their curvy figures. We only stayed for cocktails, which, unfortunately, were disappointing. The gin martini was undrinkable, & the cosmopolitan was poorly made. Additionally, the restaurant itself was not very clean & felt cluttered with multiple artifacts & art pieces. If you're looking for something bizarre, it might be worth a visit, & perhaps the food is very good, but overall, I was not impressed.View more

We've been here twice: 2007 & 2023, & have had an amazing experience both times. The risotto, duck confit, & steak frites are exceptional, & service was lovely. We also enjoyed the cigar lounge after dinner. If you're looking for an authentic French dining experience, this is it!View more

Excellent, classic French service by Cliff, great food as always. M Alain was also an excellent host & took a few minutes to speak with us. A essential Montreal experience. Highly recommended!View more

Always a pleasure to eat Chez Alexandre. Decor is mythique, a true parisian brasserie. Superb service & a very French menu
Love the calf liver & steak tartare
via LibroGreat French restaurant atmosphere , delicious food & friendly staff
via LibroThe food was good quality, fresh & we enjoyed it. The place has a French charm. We were welcomed by the owner, Monsieur Alain who is very passionate about his place. There must be some great stories. The only down-side was a slight smell of cigars when we walked in from the cigar bar upstairs. We sat at the other side of the restaurant & it didn't bother us. I would visit again.
via LibroOne of Montreal French cuisine icons. Consistent good quality food & great service. It's highly recommended for a casual dinner in a great location & atmosphere.
