The food was decent but the service was weak. Not sure if it was because the restaurant was so humid, but the wait staff seemed to have a bit of attitude. Long waits between ordering - we watched our waitress flirt with the wait staff while making minimal effort to get drinks & food. we wound up canceling our mains. Table next to us also complained about service being poor. For the price I would expect stronger wait staff.

Melissa Mimosa est une excellente serveuse : accueillante, aimable & attentionnée. Elle a grandement contribué à rendre notre brunch des plus agréables. 🩵🩵
The seared foie gras was outstanding. The service was very good. What really detracted from the experience were the very loud noises from clearing dishes & using blenders. There was a waitress with reddish hair in a ponytail that was especially inconsiderate about the boise when dumping dirty dishes. There was no music to be heard over all the noise.
Great place just as you enter Old Montréal near the basilica. Food was excellent, ingredients are fresh & the portions are just the right amount. Good selection of wines & cocktails. Ambiance was good, it was not overly crowded, however, it was a very rainy evening, so there were just less people out & about. Overall a great experience.
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!
Food was SO good & service was even better! Paula perfectly accomodated our group of 10 for a bachelorette party, & gave us free pastries when the food took a long time. Would recommend for events & large groups!
