Stunning restaurant with beautiful decor. Unfortunately the good ends there like what many people said. We came here for brunch on Sunday and service was very slow and we had to follow up a couple times or go to the bar ourselves to get something . Drinks took 30 minutes to come and food was mediocre and not that impressive for hotel quality. The omelette was quite bland. The avocado toast was OK, but nice vinaigrette on the salad. The chocolate croissant was delicious though. Hopefully management takes this feedback & improve their service efficiency in the future.

Hi Jess, Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We’re very glad you enjoyed the decor and especially the chocolate croissant, but we’re sorry that the rest of your visit did not meet expectations. What you described regarding the slow service and the need to follow up is not the level of attentiveness we aim to provide, and we understand how frustrating that can be. We’re also disappointed to hear that some of the dishes fell short, particularly the omelette. Your feedback is taken seriously, and we’ll be addressing both service efficiency and consistency in the kitchen with our team. We truly appreciate your comments and hope we’ll have the opportunity to offer you a much better experience in the future.

Stopped in for a cocktail before turning in. The Jardin Provencal was expertly made by a friendly young man who talked to us about local products. A great end to the day!

Our waitress Elodie was very friendly. She was alone serving a full section and remained friendly and checked in on us when she could. The food arrived cold and the “poached” egg was completely solid and hard boiled so that was disappointing. The food was fine overall but probably would’ve been better if it was warm. It was comical to watch the rest of the staff maneuver around our drinks when they came up at the bar; we watched 3 servers in a row unload entire trays of dishes over top of our drinks and no one ran them :(

I liked the food, and the service was great. It was romantic, however it got a bit loud. And the boeuf bourguignon had the most amazing tender meat, however when it comes to the flavour of the stew, I do think the one I make at home is better. Which suprised me. But overall, the food was great

Dear AN, Thank you very much for your thoughtful feedback! We’re delighted you enjoyed the service and the tenderness of our boeuf bourguignon. We truly appreciate your honesty regarding the flavour, there’s nothing quite like a homemade recipe! We hope to welcome you back again soon for another romantic evening.

One of the BEST experiences I’ve had in a hotel restaurant. I’ve travelled a lot and this restaurant was a very pleasant surprise! Absolutely delicious and the service was top notch. You have to get the burger and the crème brûlée was perfect. Not to mention the minestrone soup and delicious bread with tomato based spread. I don’t have to eat for a week! Bravo! See you tomorrow!

My wife and I ate here to celebrate her upcoming birthday. Let me say, what a delight from start to finish. We arrived when it was very busy and only the only available seats were at the bar. No problem for us! I ordered the Steak Frites with tempered expectations and was blown away by the quality of my meal. Not only was my steak cooked a perfect medium rare but I haven't had a steak so sumptuous in quite some time. After dinner we stuck around and had a few cocktails which were prepared in front of us and ultimately went down perhaps a little too easily! Next time we are in Montreal we will be back!

Took a traditional eggs, bacon & toast. Amazing food. A bit pricey but that's expected for a restaurant like this in that area. Right in front of the courtroom, if you don't like lawyers don't go there lol. Butter to die for! The REAL butter the FRENCH WAY. Délicieux! Forgot to take a picture doe!

We had an amazing dinner 🍽️ at Brasserie 701, right in front of Basilica Notre-Dame De Montréal. This is our second visit to this restaurant located inside the hotel. We always get thrilled with the ambience inside. Me and my wife ordered Beef 🥩 Bourguignon for the main course and a cocktail 🍸 The beef was well cooked and it was yummy. Nice aroma of the spices. We both enjoyed it. We highly recommend to make reservations in advance as it is always packed. In addition, I would also recommend to dress casually/professionally, rather than wearing shorts or junky-cut dresses (I saw some people wearing that, which I found a bit unethical). I always wear three piece suit for a candle 🕯️ light dinner 🍲 with my wife. Will visit again in the future. Merci beaucoup.

I visited with a group of 12 women during a bachelorette weekend and had organized everything in advance with Charlotte, who was polite and responsive. Based on that, I had high expectations for the evening. We had arranged a prix fixe menu, provided a credit card in advance, and confirmed that the bill would be on one cheque. However, upon arrival for our 6:30 reservation, our group was split into two separate tables with a column between us, which made the experience feel disconnected and far less enjoyable as a group. While our waitress was pleasant, service was extremely slow and inconsistent. After being seated, it took about 20 minutes for our table to have our drink orders taken, while the other half of our group had already received drinks and placed orders within 5 minutes. By 7:30, we had only received bread and butter, and it was nearly 8:00 before appetizers arrived. I had intentionally booked an early reservation to allow enough time to make a 9:00 pm show, so initially I wasn’t too concerned. However, the pace never improved. Each course was delayed, and our table was largely overlooked throughout the evening. At one point, my main course was delivered without cutlery, and I had to wave down our server for assistance. I also had to actively track her down to let her know we needed to leave by 8:50. At that point, she went to the other table and asked if they wanted separate bills, which was confusing given the billing arrangement had been clearly confirmed in advance. Overall, the experience was disappointing, especially considering how promising the planning process had been. It’s unfortunately not a place I would recommend for group events. The “congratulations” postcard left on the table felt impersonal and a bit like an afterthought rather than a meaningful gesture. As for the food, it was underwhelming. Dishes arrived lukewarm and noticeably underseasoned. While there was an abundance of bread and butter, it felt more like a way to compensate for the slow service than a highlight of the meal.

Great place with a nice and varied menu. On the fancier side so prepare your budget accordingly. The charcuterie board plate to share could've easily been for 4 ppl. We were stuffed.
