Reviews consistently describe Chez Alexandre et fils as a Montreal institution with a warm, classic French bistro vibe, where the food is reliably delicious from beef bourguignon and steak frites to seafood and comforting favourites. The service is attentive and professional, and the atmosphere feels both refined and welcoming, with a notable upstairs cigar lounge and a strong wine list that guests frequently enjoy. The spot is praised for charm, consistency, and great experiences for celebrations as well as casual dinners, though a few notes about pacing or value appear from time to time. Overall it comes across as a beloved and dependable destination worth returning to.
This restaurant is awesome, at the time we went(4 to 6 pm) is quiet & great to talk to the people you're with, the whole place has old school vibes which I love.
Staff is friendly, & the food ee tried was delicious, specially the onion soup.

Great atmosphere & food. I took a star off for service because the waitress insisted on using English even though I speak French. I find this annoying as an American whose French is very good. My only other complaint is that the English Pub does not have any English beers that I could see. Irish stouts & red ale are good but not English. There must be some bottled English ales that are available in Quebec even if there isn't any English ale in kegs. If not, they could stock an English style ale brewed in Quebec, I think there is an ESB brewed in Quebec.
C'est une brasserie à la Française que je vous recommande vivement. Merci à Alain & à son équipe pour la qualité de l'accueil, du service & de la cuisine. C'est toujours avec un grand plaisir que nous venons dans votre restaurant.
J'étais un habitué de chez Alexandre & j'y suis retourné avant le match de hockey. C'était parfait, bouffe & service 5 étoiles. En plus il y a une table d'hôte très abordable pour les match du CH. Félicitations à Alain & à son équipe depuis 50 ans.

Nous avons organisé un lunch corporatif chez Alexandre & l'expérience a été tout simplement merveilleuse. Accueil chaleureux, service attentionné & plats délicieux. Parfait pour recevoir des clients ou réunir une équipe. Merci Alain
Nous avons découvert Chez Alexandre lors d'une soirée toute spéciale pour souligner les 75 ans de ma chère amie Diane, que je connais depuis 28 ans.
Quel excellent choix de sa part ! Tout était parfait : l'accueil chaleureux, le service attentionné (merci à Daniel pour sa gentillesse) & des plats aussi beaux que délicieux.
Un merci tout spécial à Alain, le propriétaire, pour son accueil si charmant.
J'ai adoré chaque moment de cette soirée. Une magnifique découverte!
