The overall impression is of a reliable, high quality destination for brunch, lunch, or private events, where guests note the atmosphere, decor, and the care shown by the team.
We had a very good breakfast, with fair prices considering it's located inside the Place d'Armes Hotel & right in front of Notre Dame. We ordered avocado toast, forest omelette, & chicken waffle, all were enjoyable. The service was good, although they were short-staffed during our visit, which was noticeable.
The bar is very high in Montreal, so I save a 5-star rating for truly exceptional experiences.
La nourriture est juste correct vous êtes mieux de vous faire à manger. Maison tant qu'à aller manger la… la bouffe est carrément pas bonne pour le prix qu'elle coûte
Superbe soirée passée avec un groupe d'amis
Belle ambiance dans un décor splendide, tout en étant possible de discuter
Prix raisonnable pour la qualité de la nourriture!
Waouh ! De l'accueil par Adele au café fait par Taryn, le service de Melisa, Ayman est juste sublime, rien à dire, je repartirais là sans hésiter aussitôt que j'aurais la chance ! Mention spécial aux cocktails de Felix ! On sens la belle énergie d'équipe, je recommande vraiment :)🎃

Had such a great experience at Brasserie 701 thanks to Melissa. She was warm, attentive, & made our meal feel really special. She checked in at all the right moments without ever feeling intrusive. She even fixed our wobbly table
Melissa's friendly, professional vibe truly elevated the whole afternoon. Highly recommend asking for her if you stop by Brasserie 701!
We had fantastic experience at this restaurant in Montreal-the food was delicious, the atmosphere was warm & welcoming, & the service truly stood out. Our server, Melissa, was absolutely amazing: friendly, attentive, & knowledgeable, she made the entire meal feel special with her thoughtful recommendations & genuine care. I'd definitely return & highly recommend asking for Melissa if you want an exceptional dining experience
Our favorite restaurant for breakfast/brunch & to our surprise this morning our favorite breakfast plate was no longer available . The plate -eggs, fruit, waffle & chicken . Please bring it back as it's a popular one . Everything in one plate :(
Our omelettes were disappointing , & presentation :(
Soirée sympa dans la cadre de Montréal à table, toutefois la qualité du service n'est pas à la hauteur du niveau soit disant haute gamme.
Nous étions encore en train de manger l'entrée quand le plat principal est arrivé, c'est quand même assez ordinaire.
Les plats étaient savoureux mis à part la joue de boeuf qui était trop cuite & les accompagnements très ordinaires & sans saveur.
On a demandé conseil pour le vin, & le conseil s'est arrêté sur une bouteille à 200 dollars environ …. On en propose une autre & le monsieur répond « bah oui n'importe quel vin fait l'affaire » spécial comme réponse pour le type d'établissement.
C'est dommage que la qualité ne soit plus au rendez-vous….
