Well, the position of Alexandre is very very good, just near peel station. Our appartment is just nearby and every evening could see many people stay here have some food or drink. Yesterday, with my roomate, we decided to have some beers, then, we came here. The service is nice, as we already had dinner, only ordered two local beers and some fries and chicken wings. Compared to the food, I... plus

Absolutely terrible. Overpriced (28$ for a steak-fries, 15$ for a lava-cake, ...). Poor quality. Just don't.

Fun place, not exceptional service, however also a cigar lounge upstairs so it just stinks throughout. No accessible washrooms, although washrooms are well-appointed (!)
Food is lacklustre and highly salted. While they said they eould accommodate a slight dietary request, this was not the case. Portions larger than expected, but, really, very $$$ for a plate of wilted fries.

I have been a repeat customer of this establishment, but overtime I have noticed a decline in the quality of service at the restaurant. I have never reviewed it before, but my experience a couple days ago is gnawing at me to speak up.
First of all, the waitresses are not only looking, more and more, but also behaving, more and more, like call girls. When I order my food, I prefer to not have to... plus

A tourist trap worthy of an episode of Ramsay's "Kitchen Nightmares"! Overpriced and underserved!! Food was terrible for any standards. Don't be fooled by the setting. Dodgy environment! Good luck!

How delightful to escape from a rainy winter day before Christmas into this lively, classic French bistro and tuck into a perfect lunch menu: fish and chips with floating island for dessert. Toulouse Lautrec would have felt at home sketching the flirty waitresses and waiters. Vive la France!

Long story short, basically ate almost nothing of a $200 meal. Asked for it to go, and gave it to the first homeless guy I saw.

My GF and I were in town for a concert at the Bell Center. We popped in because it was on the way. Here is the food review.

Bone Marrow: C-. Just meh. Not melt in your mouth. It wasn't terrible, but by no means good, and I eat it regularly.

Foie Grois: C-. Same as... plus

Nice neighborhood bistro, with the classics (tartare, steak, fish, salads, lamb etc). We got very decent service, and the food was satisfying but missing a little individuality. Everything felt pretty standard. The interior is quite interesting, with old murales and shiny bright lights and mirrors juxtaposed, it's quite an interesting decor - a bit reminiscent of the 90s.

Awful food! Flies and spiders ! Waiters mocking us in French ... actually we speak French ! Don't be fooled ... do not enter !

Horrible food. Terrible service. Dirty dishes, seats. I wouldn't go back even if you paid me too. What a colossal waste of money and calories.

Poor service and overpriced. Food was undercooked and staff were unfriendly. What a waste of money!

Horrendous Food! Lacks any quality or innovation and is atrociously overpriced.

My boyfriend and I were in town for the Grand Prix weekend and decided to find a restaurant on Peel Street to enjoy our last evening. The restaurant was pretty empty which should have been our first indicator as an empty restaurant on Peel St during Grand Prix weekend is unlikely. We ordered wine, shrimp cocktail... plus

My friend and I tried the brunch plate. We were both disappointed in that the eggs Benedict were not runny, and the service was not great (had to ask the waitress many times for a few things). Ordering the brunch plate comes with a dessert (don't remember the name) that was better than the main meal I find.

Terrible. From the warm glass of cheap white wine to the cold asparagus soup in a martini glass to the half raw shrimp that came with the fish terrine to smell of cigars wafting pass my table, there is very little to recommend here other than to go somewhere else, far away. Dressing the young wait staff in LBDs is not going to save this mediocre restaurant apparently leveraging some celebrity... plus

We had a great meal here. The service was top notch- friendly wait staff and frequent check ins.

My wife had the fish and chips and I had the steak and fries. Both were great.

This place was recommended by our concierge and deservedly so as the experience was great.

Not bad of a place but nothing to special, considering the fact a pint is 11$. May as well just go to McLean's down the street much better prices. Haven't checked out the cigar lounge yet but maybe I'll come back to check it out.

Stopped in here for a cocktail with friends as there was a storm and we simply wanted a drink. Was guided by a waitress with no menus to a dirty table. We asked for a cocktail menu and she replied that there wasn't one and that she knew all the cocktails and we could just verbally order. Very strange for such a large establishment but we assumed maybe this was for the bar area. I ordered a... plus

I had a very lovely lunch at this restaurant. Did you know it was the first the serve draft beer back in 1982?

The owner Monsieur Alain welcomed us at our arrival and he was extremely friendly and helpful. In fact, all the staff was. There seemed to be a lot of regulars which is always a good sign. I guessed this happens when the owner is there for more than 40 years.
The décor: It's a french... plus

My friend and I went for drinks and appetizers Tuesday from 5-7 Dec 5, 2017. Place was quite empty. It was clear that we were both English speakers (info relevant later on) Beers ordered and served promptly by Asian waitress (mentioning this as I want the owner to be able to identify who was serving us) who subsequently took our food order: steak tartare and French onion soup. My friend ordered... plus

The place looks like it needs a refresh but the food made up for it. We had a slightly longer wait than normal for a table of 6. I really enjoyed the trout with almonds,
Buttery mashed potatoes (server said it's 1:1 butter to potatoes which was believable) and spinach. The trout was a touch salty but still good and perfectly cooked! One of the top trout dishes.

Server was friendly and funny.... plus

Excellent lunch on a rainy day in Montréal. We had classic Croque Monsieur and Salade Niçoise, both very fresh and tasty. The CM had a perfect 'crunch' to it. Atmosphere and decor were cliché French but why not! Service was prompt, efficient and friendly. After a very foamy cappuccino it was back the wet streets. Yes a bit pricey but on balance not a big issue. We'll be back when the terrace is... plus

Was visiting Montreal for work walking the street and popped in here for dinner. Thought it had a great vibe, good staff and food and wine was great, had the duck confit with salad and it was excellent. A little slow for the food to come out but wasn't that bad.

I am a bit surprised by all of the recent negative reviews. Yes, this place is pricey, but it also serves really good French bistro food and wine. Even the mayonnaise is homemade. We ate here with our family while visiting Montreal last week. The staff was very friendly and attentive as well as super with our kids. My wife and I had an excellent and also elegantly presented trout almondine with... plus

I would like to give this restaurant more stars but I simply can't. The server "forgot" to write down our order. She didn't bring the right drinks. She brought one of our friends the wrong sandwich. And then she did not put my order in at all. It's a shame. Food quality is mediocre but service is very, very disappointing.

Came in tonight, a Friday. Visiting Montreal and enjoying our stay. Everyone is very friendly.

The waiter took our drink order. Then we waited over 30 minutes for someone to take our food order. It wasn't THAT busy. The manager ended up taking our order. They seemed to think we didn't understand French. There were words between the manager and our server. Another long wait. People were being... plus

I ordered the superior chicken wing and there was nothing superior about. It was filled with blood and undercooked. It was s@!t.

From the outside this bar is listed as a cigar and champagne bar, but one we were inside, the cigars available were pricey and the bartender even suggested we head down the street and purchase cheaper ones. Additionally, they only had two glasses of champagne for purchase, cheapest was $24. Then all the rest was in bottles and the cheapest was $60. I'm not sure how a place can advertise... plus

The reason why I'm not giving this place 3 stars + is because of the prices. Let's be clear m! I'm not cheap when I go out to eat but if I'm ordering basic food that comes with no sides I shouldn't be Paying that much money. Prices don't match up to the place.

Moving along. I ordered the steak with home fries but instead got French fries.. whatever.. I was starving and ended up eating it... plus

No disappointment here. The food and service was very good. Followed our waiters recommendations. Lobster for me, mixed seafood for hubby. Empty plates full stomachs!

Stay away from this place! We ended up paying almost 200 canadian dollars for very Average cafeteria food.

Service was generally good tho.

I received friendly and attentive service - I had 3 different servers who took turns coming by every 10 minutes to say "bon appetit" or ask how everything was.

I ordered the lobster lunch special for $38 plus tax - a bargain based on how big the meal was. They start you off with bread - it's fresh and the inside is soft as can be. They also give you olives, flatbread crackers and a little bit... plus

When I go to a French restaurant with such prices, I'm expecting excellent service and gourmet, or at least, good food. In a few words, food was boring...bland and no taste...& low quality. The server wasn't even able to answer questions about the dish I ordered, but I took the risk.

Some details:

* I ordered the Choucroute de Mer, one serving each of salmon, haddock, shrimp, scallop and a... plus

This is one of my favourite restaurants in Montreal. It is an authentic French Brasserie. We were seated promptly at a nice table in the front. We had a delicious meal of steak frites and black cod. And finished off with some lovely Quebec cheeses. All married with a nice Cote du Rhone by the glass. We will be back.

This is a little gem in downtown Montreal, they have excellent customer service with courteous, bilingual staff. The food was a bit pricey but it was very good and well-presented, my lobster was delicious, the side order of fries was crispy and fresh and the mussels were steamy. The place has a sort of decadent aura, it looks very Dynasty or Falcon Crest, very disco, very 80's. There is a bar... plus

If you are looking for french cuisine, this is not the right place.the meals are a poor and tragic version of the real meal you would find in France. The food itself wasn't bad (actually extra salty) but it simply has nothing to do with France , except the name of the meals.Simple: a pizza is not an Italian pizza just because you call it pizza!

What the? It's like I walked into a Star Trek holodeck version of a desperately middle aged casino lounge, complete with patterned overkill on the decor and a smothering, velvety feel. Woah, what happened?
Stinking of shampooed carpet that reeks of two decades of cigar smoke, this place is rich on entertainment value. And who was Joe Mafia on his phone in the corner with all the loose leaf... plus

Went here for a late night meal. It was okay, not great. I would suggest it if no other place was open, but definitely not take a date here. It's not a well run restaurant. But since the food didn't kill me (but certainly wasn't worth mentioning) I'll give it three stars... plus

There is something about French cuisine, not sure if it is the look, the smell or the taste. But when we think about it only one word comes to mind - magnifique. Now when we are talking about the fare offered at Chez Alexandre, magnifique just does not make the grade. We would call our experience there extraodrinaire, magistral, luxueux, because it was beyond magnifique.

Located on Peel... plus

The food was good. But when we got the bill to pay, we saw that on the bill they wrote 'service $10'. We were confused about that. And we were totally shocked when they told us that it means 'the tips'. Of cause we will pay tips. But in this way, the feeling was very terrible. Will never go there again.

Went in after a long day at work, and enjoyed a nice brasserie-style dining exprience.
The decor is meant to evoke a Parisian brasserie, and I think it works without being tacky.
Service was pretty good, though not the quickest, and the staff friendly (and attractive).
I'd go back!
