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!

This restaurant was recommended to us by a staff member at the Residence Inn. We were pleased to be able to order from their 50th anniversary menu which was very reasonably priced. We had the steak Onglet & the beef bourguignon. My husband loved the beef bourgignon & my steak was perfectly cooked, served with frites. Complimentary cheese puffs & bread were brought to our table. Our server (Daniel) was very friendly. Raspberry sorbet completed the meal. We planned to dine here a 2nd time but didn't make it back during our short stay.
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.
Only down point: No Kids menu.
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.
