  • CHEZ ALEXANDRE - A PARISIAN BRASSERIE IN MONTREAL!

    Posted by

    When a restaurant has made the same location home for 32 years, it earns the right to be called an institution. That’s the case for Chez Alexandre, a classic Parisian Brasserie located in the heart of Montréal.

    Iconic Chez Alexandre serves up classic French cuisine in a stylish setting. Politicians and French celebrities are some of its biggest fans, making it a must-stop whenever they’re in town. When it comes to keeping its reputation red-hot, Chez Alexandre hits all the right notes. The kitchen is open almost every night until 2am (it closes at 1am on Sunday). It boasts a lovely patio, as well as an inviting cigar lounge for those wishing to unwind with a Cuban. And let’s not forget the impressive wine card! According to Daniel, one of the associates, they sell a few bottles of the coveted Chateau Mouton Rothschild 2004 every week. That’s a $755 bottle of wine, people! But don’t worry, they have plenty of tasty wines for every budget.

    Consumed with Parisian flair, I ordered traditional French dishes, starting with an exquisite foie gras. Black cod with Porto sauce followed and proceeded to melt in my mouth. The service was professional and seamless: the garçon offered tableside seasoning for my Angus beef tartar (see picture). Can you say delightful?

    PS: Don’t leave without trying the dark chocolate fondant. I can’t get enough of this popular dessert and this is certainly one of Montréal’s best.

      			The Montréal Buzz posted a photo:	I took this photo approximately 45 minutes before our Toronto bound VIA train was to set to leave.  That morning we packed our bags and sought out crepes for breakfast before heading to the station.  I cried while packing because I didn't want to leave - the four days we had spent in the city had been perfect. We decided to take one last stroll while waiting for our train.  We walked out to the street only to discover it was closed off for the Pride Parade!  I took a few minutes to snap some shots of everyone waiting for the parade to begin.			The Montréal Buzz posted a photo:	The beauty of Montreal is found in the diversity of the people, the historic landmarks, the arts and culture that bring together residents and returning tourists, and surely, the ever-glowing lights.
