Chez Alexandre et fils offers a timeless French bistro feel with warm Parisian charm and an ambiance that many describe as elegant and inviting. The staff are consistently polished and professional, delivering attentive service that enhances the dining experience from start to finish. The menu showcases fresh, flavorful classics such as beef tartare, steak frites, cod croquettes, duck confit, and moules, with thoughtful specials and a carefully chosen wine list to complement each course. A refined upstairs cigar lounge and a cozy downstairs dining area add versatility, making it suitable for celebrations or relaxed meals. Guests note the confident cooking, generous flavor, and the sense of tradition that makes Chez Alexandre et fils a beloved Montreal staple, while occasional mentions of slower service or value concerns are outweighed by the overall warmth and high quality of the experience.
I just love this place. Food is fantastic! Wine choices are superb & the location gives you a true Montreal vibe. Everyone there are great! Prices are reasonable & the quality of the food is exceptional! Highly recommend Pub Alexandre.
I went to Chez Alexandre for dinner & also revisited the hidden cigar lounge on the second floor, one of Montreal's best kept secrets if you're into cigars. It's been a while since I'd been, & while the space is a bit aged, it has a lot of character & history. You can bring your own cigar, & it's usually quiet during the week, which makes it a great spot to unwind. I highly recommend ordering an Americano with a shot of Baileys on the side, plus two sugar cubes. It's a simple pleasure that fits the vibe perfectly.
The food downstairs was average, but the service was good. & don't miss the photo wall on the main floor. It's packed with Montreal history & old-school charm. Fun fact for those who remember, the club next door used to be the iconic Funky Town. Also worth mentioning, this is one of the few places I know that has Peroni on tap.
If you're driving, ask about the free parking deal when you make your reservation. They offer parking in a nearby building if you're dining in. Definitely a unique spot in Montreal worth checking out.
Very delicious French cuisine. The affable owner Alain came by the table & made dinner all the more special & enjoyable. Highly recommend, & we will be back again when we are back in Montreal.
Amazing food. Unbelievably good service. Had Bastien as a server, he was fantastic. I ordered the Steak tartare - highly recommend. Love this place & will be back.
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.

My first time here after walking by to meet my wife. We were supposed to go to Paris for Christmas but my wife's passport got caught up in the strike. Well, Paris came to us here! What a lovely place! Our server, Bastien, was phenomenal. His wine knowledge is fantastic. The owner came by to say hello. My wife had a salad Nicoise , which she loved. I had a smoked salmon starter & a lovely duck breast for a main course. Both were excellent. Bastien started me off with a sparkling rose followed by a sauvignon blanc semillon & a red with the duck. I highly recommend this spot!
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!
We came for the festival of MTL a TABLE. The service & food were very good. We are very happy one drink was included too. Martin was very nice offered me a mocktail since i do not drink alcohol. I highly recommend this restaurant.

The dining experience was excellent. The restaurant has a Parisian vibe. We were greeted warmly by Alexandre himself. We were lucky since it was the first day they offer Menu Montreal a Table. He explained patiently the tasting menu & made recommendations. The food & service were both superb. Highly recommended!
One of Montreal French cuisine icons. Consistent good quality food & great service. It's highly recommended for a casual dinner in a great location & atmosphere.
