Le risotto aux fruits de mer est un incontournable! Frais & goûteux. L'acceuil était génial & Alain, le sympathique propriétaire ne manque pas de saluer la clientèle au passage

Au plaisir de vous revoir bientôt!.

We were a three generation group, so I didn't downrate the service for being slow, but it could have been faster. I'll ask for that going in next time. In all, it was a great experience, for all the generations. I have been coming here for as long as Alexandre has been open, & it doesn't disappoint. The terrace on Peel is a lovely atmosphere at lunch. I don't invite people at night, though, because the cigar smoke can be overpowering, if the wind is blowing it in.

L'endroit où être pour vivre tout événement dans le coeur de Montréal. Que ce soit pour les matchs du canadiens, pour voir l'équipe de France participer à la coupe du monde, ou juste prendre le temps de manger entre amis & famille, Chez Alexandre est l'endroit où aller. Avec la belle grande terrasse devant, le cigare lounge à l'étage, ainsi que le pub. L'établissement a une réponse à tous vos besoins.

La gaspacho était rafraîchissante, les moules dodues, les frites croustillantes. Service excellent comme d'habitude, les serviette en tissu bien utiles ainsi que les rince-doigts.

Mon restaurant préféré à Montréal.
