Hotel Alexandra 428 avenue Buckingham Bâti en 1931, les premiers propriétaires sont Hormidas Nadon et Donat Boisvenu. Jusqu'en 1950, l'hôtel abrite une salle à manger, des chambres et une taverne. La présence des femmes était quasi nulle; l'endroit était réservé aux hommes.

J'aime cet endroit, c'est en plein centre-ville. Le personnel est amical et bilingue sans parler du bon service. J'adore le fait qu'il y a une terrasse.
