Pros : great coffee & biscuit, service was great. Cons : Our ustensils & especially the water glass smelled like eggs it was impossible to drink water / the smoked salmon was not fresh my friend had to put it aside
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!

Beautiful setting, followed by an amazing experience. This is a must try for breakfast & brunch, & I only say that because it's when we decided to visit. The wife had Gaufruiti, which is a waffle plate, & she absolutely loved it. Myself, choosing the smoked salmon eggs benny can say I also enjoyed very much. Fresh ingredients, food made with skill & service that was attentive & very polite. You can tell there is consistency.
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
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.
