the vibe of this place was very nice & for all the havoc photo takers you wont be disappointed with the modern/vintage aesthetics, & Elodie are server was lovely !
Très déçus de notre expérience (souper & déjeuner). Le rapport qualité-prix n'est pas au rendez-vous : les plats sont tout de même ordinaires & dispendieux & manquent d'accompagnements, à moins de les payer en supplément. Le service était lent malgré une salle peu remplie. Mention spéciale au serveur qui nous a suggéré des bouteilles de vin parmi les plus chères de la carte sans tenir compte de nos besoins. De plus, il est regrettable d'être accueillis en anglais & de devoir insister pour être servis en français.
Quel bel endroit! Nous avons passé un bon moment avec d'excellentes assiettes. On a même reçu un dessert surprise parce que c'était notre anniversaire de mariage. Le personnel est très présent malgré des problèmes de serveur informatique, il se démène pour que rien ne paraissent...c'est tout à leur honneur, vu le nombre de clients à servir. Chapeau & on sait qu'on va y revenir encore. Pierre
Thanks to our server Mathilda, we had a wonderful first night & dinner in Montreal. We came into town late & they were very accommodating.
Very helpful with our drink selections & great service with a nice warm atmosphere.
Our steak frites were spot on how we each like it & good potions for the price. Tres Bien!
Perfect evening at this restaurant, alovely dinner with my friends!! The atmosphere was great. Nice cocktail list, with a special mention for the Perles du Dragon & the Aurora. I loved the cheese board to share & the beef bourguignon. The service was wonderful, everyone who interacted with us was kind & helpful! :) I'll be back on my next trip to Montreal.

Un excellent brunch au Brasserie 701. Cuisine fraîche, raffinée & impeccablement exécutée, service chaleureux mais discret & cadre élégant en plein coeur du Vieux-Montréal; une adresse cinq étoiles.
Had a lovely brunch at Brasserie 701 today. The service was incredibly accommodating to me & my family (little girl), which made the experience even better. The food was delicious across the board, & a special shoutout to the pistachio coffee.. absolutely worth ordering. Great atmosphere & a perfect spot for a relaxed brunch with a nice Old Port vibe. Highly recommend!
Une soirée exceptionnelle tant grâce a la qualité de la cuisine que le professionnalisme de notre serveur. Antonni a ete a nos petits soins & a contribué grandement a notre soirée! Merci pour tout. Nous reviendrons!
Nous avons presque toutes été déçues de nos plats. Celle qui avait le boeuf bourguignon l'a renvoyé en cuisine tellement la viande était dure & sèche. Le service était moyen. Au final c'était très cher pour ce que c'était coté nourriture
We were out of options for an evening dinner & ended up here. The food was nothing memorable, & not worth the cost. ($60-$70 pp) I expect for such a kitchen to notice that a sauce is separating & then oddly gooped onto everything on the plate. From the soup to the main, too much sugar, no balance of other flavours. Service was fine. Not busy here late evening, we were among the last few tables lingering.
