A solid option to chill while it's freezing outside or just to rest after a long day of sightseeing. We came here on a Monday, quite late for lunch. In between lunch & dinner they got a reduced menu that has a little bit for everyone. There are plenty of tables around, so you can choose easily, the dining room is absolutely amazing, along with the huge windows that bring some light into the place.
There are two reasons why I gave it 4 stars,
First it took quite a bit of time to prepare 2 martinis we had ordered, up to the point where I wasn't sure if I had ordered them anymore.. after arrived they were ok prepared but were tiny (which hurts a bit at 17CAD +tax +tip)… after mentioning this to the bartender for the second round, he got his measurements right & this time the cocktails were on point & just perfect before flying the whole night afterwards.
Second, the burger we ordered was fine, with great quality ingredients & well prepared fries… but the meat was on the less intense flavor side & quite overcooked. But the cheese, vegetables & sauces were on point & really hit the spot.
It's a place that I would come back if the opportunity comes, it has a good atmosphere & the service while not perfect it's authentic, relatable & they care about the service they provide which is something that can always be noticed & appreciated.View more

Such a nice place with a warm & welcoming ambiance. We went for brunch, & everyone in our group was satisfied. The food was absolutely delicious! Ayman's service made the experience even better-he was so patient & friendly as we decided on what to order. He even surprised us with a little treat for my friend's birthday, which was such a thoughtful touch. I would return to explore their dinner & drink menu.View more

Bonjour & Merci! We stayed at the hotel, & everything was absolutely exquisite! The service at the restaurant was impeccable, with thoughtful touches like attentive water service & little details that truly set it apart. The food was nothing short of sumptuous, transporting me back to France with its authenticity & exceptional quality in every bite. The menu & ambiance are beautifully refined, showcasing elegance in every detail. A truly highly recommended!View more

Went back & the experience was a lot less exciting. Maybe the server wasn't interested but overall it was a miss. Did basically a repeat of the last experience & found everything to be very middle of the road. The drinks were ok but didn't wow like the last time. The tartare was the standout of the dinner & really hit the spot. Moving to the marrow & escargot everything was perfectly cooked & well seasoned. The gnocchi was good & the peas were perfectly crisp with a nice balanced sauce. The bouillabaisse was also good. Perfectly cooked & balanced well also. Portions were massive & we left a lot on the plates. I would probably go back again as this time was pretty lackluster. Maybe it was an off night. I absolutely loved Brasserie 701. Seated quickly & started with drinks. A Cosmo & Capitaine Rubis were a start. The Rubis was really a fantastic cocktail, well balanced & that last taste of maple was really the best part. I'm not a maple fan but that cocktail is something everyone should try. I tried 3 if that's any indication of it's quality. Next up the Escargot & Beef Tartare. The escargot was perfectly cooked, well-seasoned & better than expected. As good as any I've previously experienced. A fantastic order. The tartare was really fantastic too. It's one of those dishes that really should be something you order. We chose a trou normand & the sorbet was quite refreshing. I think that's more of a take it or leave it but we enjoyed ours. The main course: I chose the risotto with lobster tail & my companion chose the lamb shank. Both were perfectly seasoned, perfectly cooked & a great portion. The gnocchi with the lamb was the best surprise of the meal. Perfect density & that sweetness was just right. It was a fantastic meal that I'd rate among the best places that I've eaten at. dessert was the creme brulee & a cafe au lait. The bitterness of the coffee & the sweet creme brulee hit so perfectly in balance I have never been so happy to order dessert. Service was great. Very attentive, not rushed at all but the timings were perfect. I felt like our server was excellent & a true professional. The environment is really nice for dining. It's about the right lighting although I needed a light to read the menu. But I'm old so it is what it is. The volume is surprisingly good for conversation. The price is amazing. In the US I have paid 3X for similar quality food. I'll be eating here every time I'm in Montreal. It's a staple dining establishment.View more

We had an amazing brunch here! The avocado toast (with perfectly poached eggs) & steak & eggs were amazing & the cocktails were on point. Maeva's service was awesome & she was so sweet to bring us a little treat to help me celebrate my birthday. For the gluten free folks out there, they do have gluten free bread & were very accommodating of my allergy. I would definitely come back!View more

Brasserie 701 was my restaurant of choice for my Christmas morning brunch! It did not disappoint! My server Tristan went above & beyond- he was incredibly busy but still made time to offer a few suggestions around Montreal "from a local". I really appreciated this banter as he gave me tips & tricks & insider info on the places I was already planning to visit. Once a year I award a server 100% tip for being incredible, & Tristan was my 2024 recipient! Thank you so much! The buffet was officially supposed to begin at 10am. I was seated around 950 & everyone was floundering about setting up the buffet. It seemed like nobody was in charge & everybody was unsure of their role. I didn't even get water or a Bonjour until about 1020! But it was smooth sailing from then on out! There was a hot table with beef bourginon, eggs Benedict & salmon. The cold table featured different salads- classic Caesar, beet salad & quinoa salad. The dessert table was far off on the side & I'm not sure many people even saw it (I was sitting across from it). The sunshine hits in the most lovely way through the windows of Brasserie 701. It's perfect for taking photos! The building is beautiful from the outside as well! It's right down the street from Notre Dame basilica. Thank you for the loveliest way to spend Christmas morning!View more
