Review Summary

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.

L'ambiance & la décoration est extraordinaire. Nous partons en voyage pour Paris lorsque nous entrons dans le restaurant. Le service était excellent à l'heure du midi. Le menu du midi est bien incluant dans le prix, une belle & bonne entrée & le dessert. Le magret de canard avec les légumes étaient tiède ce qui était surprenant. J'y retournerai pour l'ambiance magique. Ca compense pour la chaleur de l'assiette.

Très beau & bon restaurant, avec une belle ambiance de brasserie parisienne où nous allons depuis toujours. C'est comme une tradition avec les serveurs & propriétaires que nous reconnaissons... Petites critiques pour notre dernière visite cependant: Menu un peu cher car peu ou pas de légumes d'accompagnement pour le plat principal. Les serveurs ont oublié de nous apportez de l'eau durant le repas. Quand j'ai commandé la coupe de champagne, on m'a donné la plus chère des deux sans me demander mon avis. J'avais aussi légèrement froid dans le restau... La bière un peu chère aussi.
