What an amazing place! Elegant, relaxing, & perfect for brunch or lunch. The brunch selection is fantastic, with so many great options to choose from. The staff are outstanding, especially Melissa she truly made our visit unforgettable! She walked us through the menu with so much detail & helped us pick the perfect wine. Our whole group had an incredible time, & we can't wait to come back again!
We had a great time at the Christmas brunch buffet, & our waitress Melissa was a darling!
Our party of six was comfortably seated in the corner, & we each enjoyed the food that appealed to us. The ooey gooey chocolatey marshamallowy cookie was especially tasty!

Stepping into this establishment was nothing short of AMAZING! The French architecture of the building & surrounding areas was mind blowing. From the food to the decor & inside aesthetics, this is an absolute brunch experience you don't want to miss when visiting Montreal. Our waitress Melissa was such a warm soul with a pleasant attitude & just an overall zest for life… she made our dining experience incredible! Kudos to her & the entire wait staff. My husband really enjoyed his birthday brunch!
Best experience at brunch this morning at Brasserie 701! Food was incredible & our waitresses were exceptional, Adele & Elody made our girls trip!! We will be back visiting when we come back to Montreal! 10/10 recommend!
Had the pleasure of being hosted by Melissa today at our brunch! The service we received was above & beyond & truly made our birthday celebration feel special! Thank you Melissa, your attention to detail made a memorable part of our trip!

If you think duck confit with pears poached in maple syrup is a good idea for a truly Canadian version of Eggs Benedict for brunch, then run to Brasserie 701 in Montréal! Sonia was our vivacious server but truly the whole team deserves an ensemble Academy Award. The 701 staff are the nicest people on the planet! You can also try the margret duck breasts for dinner, served on mashed carrots in maple syrup. Apple wine a must! GO!
Melissa Mimosa est une excellente serveuse : accueillante, aimable & attentionnée. Elle a grandement contribué à rendre notre brunch des plus agréables. 🩵🩵

Second time here & this spot is 20/10. Melissa (waitress) was my server on both occasions & she is absolutely fabulous. Coming from Toronto, I can honestly say there is no better brunch spot than here. Thank you Brasserie & please give Melissa a raise!
Had a great time with my friends for our graduation brunch! Our server, Melissa, was awesome, so attentive & nice & gave us great recommendations for fun things to do in Montreal, & the food was delicious!
