We were a group of 7, celebrating my birthday & went during the Happening Gourmand event. We all ordered off the HG menu ($49, choice of appetizer, main, dessert from a fixed menu) . The food was absolutely delicious, no matter the choice. However, we would have liked to have had our coffee at the same time as dessert, & not after it was finished, & the cappuccino was only lukewarm.
Such an amazing expérience 🙌🏻 Gavin & Marine were lovely. Food was so delicious. To die for. Gorgeous restaurant & decoration, great ambiance. 100% recommend. ❤?🩷

Had a little family brunch there last sunday. We arrived at 10 am with reservations. The decor is imaginative & whimsical. The service is attentive. Every item on the menu sounds delicious, but the meals are rather ordinary compared to the glam decor. The duck confit Benedectine was delicious. The smoked salmon Benedectine was good. Mushroom toast for 23$ was a bit sad served with nothing other than a copious amount of balsamic glaze. The bread was dry & hard to cut through. A few fruits, even if just for garnish on all plates, would have added a touch of refinement. Small note: roasted potato serving sizes were inconsistent on both plates. Regular coffee is included. As we left around 12:30, the restaurant became much busier. Hopefully, they will address our few comments so we can return this summer & enjoy the wonderful decor!

Je me suis arrêtée chez Brasserie 101 pour un lunch en solo. L'endroit est agréable & bien tenu. En arrivant, j'ai été accueillie par un premier serveur sympathique, mais qui m'a simplement présenté la carte générale, sans vraiment mettre en valeur les options du midi ou les offres spéciales. Franchement, rien ne m'avait vraiment convaincue au départ, & je pensais repartir sans rien commander.
Heureusement, il y a eu un changement de service en cours de repas, & la nouvelle serveuse a tout changé. Elle m'a parlé du combo lunch, beaucoup plus intéressant & abordable. Grâce à elle, j'ai finalement commandé, & j'ai bien fait : la nourriture était très bonne, bien servie, & le chocolat chaud était délicieux.
J'ai aussi apprécié les petits détails : les toilettes étaient propres, joliment décorées.
En résumé, une expérience en demi-teinte au départ, mais clairement rattrapée par un bon service client & une présentation claire des offres. Comme quoi, une bonne communication peut vraiment faire toute la différence dans l'expérience du client.
ervice was very nice, however the food was okay at best. The cortados were milky, & the smoked salmon eggs Benedict with breakfast potatoes was akin to Cora's. Would not recommend the mushroom toast unless you are a super fan of balsamic reduction - the plate is drenched in it. Overall, we expected the food to match the service & ambience - would not recommend if you value taste over aesthetic
Absolutely gorgeous. People don't dress up but as soon as you enter you feel under dressed. It's a piece of 80s upper class energy.
HOWEVER, the Absolutely slowest food service I've ever had. If your enjoying a few drinks you'll be buzzed before it reaches your table.
