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.
What a wonderful restaurant! It was my first visit to Montreal. I was alone & walked by the restaurant during lunch time. I was greeted by the owner & was seated at a table. I felt welcomed by the staff & was so comfortable. The food was delicious & I could have been in Paris - but happily I was at Chez Alexandre & fils. I recommend a visit anytime to this special place!!
This restaurant is perfect for all occasions & everything is just right. The food & the service are great, with a pleasant & relaxed atmosphere. One of my favourite places in Montreal. Timeless.
I always came to Alexandre for their delicious & real french salade niçoise. Not this time. How could Alexandre present me with a regular salad that only had some tuna on top. Where are the potatoes, tomatoes, green beans, olives? Yet the price was the same. Very disappointing.
Many years ago this was an awesome place to go have some mussles & drinks. The atmosphere is still great but what they served us was horrible & had to be returned.
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.
A cute restaurant with a Parisien feel. Had the brunch combo which was an amazing deal for 39$. Comes with a coffee, a starter, a main & dessert. The bone marrow was so delicious. Our server Emilie was also very sweet ❤?
The service was slow despite the place being almost empty. We ordered 4 different meals, no one of us was satisfied. The food was below average. Disappointing experience.
Best risoto in town & it feels like an hour in holidays from work. The starters are all fantabulous especially the cod carppacio...
Just thank me after your visit
Great location! Good food. Our server Tristan checked every box. Comfy & lively outdoor seating for dining. A few minutes walk to the sightseeing tour bus if thats your thing. Would definitely return for the food & service.
The restaurant was just getting started because we arrived at 630 on a Saturday. By 830 it was humming. The service was great & our food was delightful, tasty & well presented.
