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.
The place is iconic , worth a drink & an appetizer but the main dishes are average & overpriced. My friend had the salmon tartare that tasted bad, the waiter took it back & offered the steak 🥩 tartare, which was like raw hamburger beef shredded, no taste like a real beef tartare, I had the fish & chips, I ate it but it was again the most average I ever had. I paid total $85,14 tip included for a glass of beer, a white wine 🍷 for 20$, average quality, & a fish & chips, the lunch menu seems a little better because the appetizer are included with the main dishes. But again I wonder 💭 why it's French style but with a fast food average quality! I won't be back for a dinner, maybe a drink & appetizer for the ambience & service.
Incredible service & food. One of the owners came by to give samples & let me taste the beef tartare to ensure it was spiced the way I liked, he was also super funny. I ate in the pub upstairs & it had a fantastic atmosphere, the dining area on the lower floor also looked really good.
Starving but not willing to pay $$$$, we didn't eat at the Cafe next door because it was pricey as sin to then just to sit at Alexandre & pay ridiculous for a boring roast beef sandwich & fries. Also ordered steak frites, & a bland les pates au homard (lobster w/ pasta). Out of the 3, only the steak was worth it; the hostess ended up ALSO being the waitress, who never provided her name & though she was sweet, she forgot to give us our'leftovers' & we had to remind her upon leaving. We sat al fresco & for a fam of 4 on 2 small round tables & chairs that couldn't move on the carpeted area.
It was quite hot outside so we chose to sit inside. We did smell a bit of cigar smoke when we walked in. The restaurant does have a French brasserie & bistro feel. We ordered beef cheek with vegetables & lobster pasta. The beef cheek was flavorful & tender. Lobster pasta was tasty. Overall, I enjoyed the food even though it was a bit pricey.
Wonderful experience. The owner, Alain, came to our table to introduce himself. It made the meal more special as he made food & wine recommendations. Very cozy & comfortable atmosphere. The beef tartare was made to order & was delicious. As a visitor to Montreal on a very cold day it was a wonderful find to walk into a warm & inviting restaurant with excellent service & food.
Lovely & comprehensive experience, delivered with charm & professionalism; cocktails, wine, meal & cigars upstairs (we came for the cigars). Arrived early & got brilliant attention. Beef tartare & fish were excellent. Prices are reasonable. & an extraordinary surprise Canadian history immersion on the wall.
