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.
Reviews / Ratings for Brasserie 701
I loved the brunch, however lunch didn't live up to the same. The bartender Shady was very good and the atmosphere is excellent!
Had the sea bream - fantastic! Thank you Alexi!
Nice vibe if you want to do a girls brunch there but to be honest the pricd $$$ for what you get is really a rip off. The food flavor and quality of the meal isnt even worth it. It looks "esthetically" pleasing for pictures, but doesnt taste delicious. I personality wouldnt go back.
Had a good time here. I was there with a group of 5-7 people and it wasn’t too noisy. The staff was professional and things were clean and looked good.
Excellent restaurant. Excellent service from Wandrille and Victor. I would go back for sure.
kind of disappointed … the soup was delicious but my main dish was cold and the beef no 😊 so good.
The reception was welcoming and our waiter was excellent and super friendly, really fun to talk to, and helpful with ordering, he was the highlight of the night. The wine was also very good. Dinner overall was good. The steak was enjoyable, though not outstanding. The biggest disappointment was the salads ordered. Despite some effort in presentation, the ingredients /mix felt basic and lacked flavor. They were easily the weakest part of the meal, also some item was sold out, having special menu and not having enough. You know One staff member who refilled our water and cleared plates seemed visibly irritated and handled dishes quite roughly. It didn’t ruin the evening, but the display was noticeable. Overall, the service from our waiter was great, dinner and wine were good, but the salads need improvement. I expected a bit more from the experience, though I still appreciate the effort
I came to Montreal for the history, the architecture, the culture, and the short track speed skating world championships… but I stayed for the dirty martinis at Brasserie 701. Enter Shady - bartender, mixology wizard, and the only man I’ve ever seen shake a cocktail with the quiet confidence of Patrick Mahomes in the fourth quarter. The resemblance is uncanny. If Mahomes ever needs an offseason job, I’m convinced he’s already been moonlighting behind this bar. As a Toronto girl, I take my martinis very seriously. Shady served me two of the most delicious dirty martinis I’ve ever had with some potent local gin. Perfectly chilled, perfectly salty, and strong enough to make me briefly consider moving to Montreal permanently. Service: 10/10 Martinis: 12/10 Mahomes doppelganger energy: off the charts. If you find yourself at Brasserie 701, do yourself a favour: ask Shady for a dirty martini. Just be warned - you’ll probably end up ordering a second one. I certainly did. 🍸
Florence was very attentive and professional. Wonderful food and service!
Thick cappuccino with the milk at the correct temperature. It’s a simple thing that mean a lot. Eggs Benedict also definitely much better than your average. Something about the sauce or the ham elevated it. The interior boasts excellent window views and the ceilings have ornate plaster molding. Great service too.
We were 3 couples and we were trying out the "Happening Gourmand” menu for $49. We were warmly greeted and seated at our table. Our waiter Kenny was excellent. He was efficient and attentive. The decor of the restaurant is very appealing and had former bank vibes. The washrooms need a deep clean and a slight refresh but are well equipped. With the Happening Gourmand menu, you get a choice of soup or salad. One person took the soup and said it was delicious. The rest of us took the spinach salad. It was good but was heavy on the salt. The dressing was yummy. My wife and I took the braised beef cheek and despite the plates arriving covered with stainless steel lids to our table, the food was almost cold. Once again, the beef jus reduction sauce was on the salty side and the beef cheek was on the dry side and not as tender as it should have been both being braised and a cut of beef which is usually very tender. Plating was also ordinary and lacked any creative/artistic appeal. All in all the meal was decent but lacked culinary finesse. The service and decor definitely add to the experience.
Alexis it’s was wow very Nice and attentive, merci
