Went in for brunch & inside was nice but outside of that I wouldn't have much good to say. My wife & I ordered coffee & our food, our drinks came right away but the food took about 40 minutes to come out. Ordered eggs Benedict & a simple "2 eggs any style" & everything was overcooked & dry. We figured that because we were staying at the hotel that we were getting served last before the guests but it wasn't even that busy so I don't understand why it took so long. Maybe just a bad day for them, & I completely understand that but I wouldn't recommend going there for brunch. Plenty of other amazing places that won't disappoint.
Food was good, but the portion is small for what it costs. Got the veggie Benedict & they forgot to add the spinach until we asked for it. They only delivered it 15 mins later when we were almost done eating.

It was a fine place to grab some breakfast. I had the eggs benedict & cappuccino. It was a pleasant breakfast in a setting you'd expect of an upscale hotel restaurant
Le cappuccino était divin! Vraiment un des meilleurs que j'ai bu à Montréal. Les oeufs bénédictine au saumon étaient bons (les patates en particulier étaient très bonnes). Service très efficace, sympathique & attentionné. Le seul bémol, ce sont les vitres qui auraient besoin d'un bon nettoyage parce qu'elles sont plutôt sales, empêchant de bien profiter de la vue pourtant agréable.
We wanted to come here for brunch but we didn't make a reservation in advance so we ended up getting breakfast instead. I ordered the smoked salmon egg Benedict, which was actually offered for both breakfast & brunch. The egg Benedict was scrumptious! The potatoes were warm & crispy. The hollandaise was rich & silky. The eggs were poached perfectly. My boyfriend got scrambled eggs with sausages, which were also delicious. The portions were generous. For that day, this meal kept us properly fueled to explore Montreal for the whole day. For our next trip, we will come back to Brasserie 701 for brunch :)
Food was great, went with 4 people & had the chicken & waffles & eggs Benedict but the service was the pièce de résistance, our waitress Melissa went above & beyond was very friendly & recommended the best stuff on the menu will definitely go back again thanks to Melissa!
Went there for happening gourmand for brunch we had a reservation so there wasn't a wait the restaurant was full, so would suggest a reservation, especially for brunch. The food was served very quickly & the servers were very nice. It's not a brunch that I go out of my way for. I had the lobster eggs Benedict & it was just OK & finish off with the orange crepe which was a bit too orangey for my liking but that's just my preference. Really nice atmosphere. I'd like to try it for dinner, but brunch didn't blow my socks off.
i LOVED this place - best eggs benedict i've ever had. the ham is toasted to become crispy & has such lovely salty flavor. the hollandaise sauce was some of the best i've had as it was so well seasoned. would recommend their mimosas as well!

Me & my fiancée went here during the brunch the food was spectacular the eggs Benedict & the chicken & waffles was amazing, they had really good mayo it was on the sweet side & i wanted to take some home, the bartender i forgot his name but he was asian, served me & my fiancée the best drinks which were the Canadian coffee & the signature tequila sunrise, he really is passionate about his job & it is hard to find in new york who is as passionate as he is. Definitely will come back here in the future
Had brunch on the patio. The view was nice & the restaurant is in a great location. Service was excellent. Unfortunately the food was subpar. The potatoes needed more seasoning & the benedict was nothing special.
We ordered classic egg Benedict & smoked salmon Benedict.. & it was perfect.
I love the interior & the atmosphere.
Also the service was awesome.. everyone friendly & professional.
