First time visiting and was beyond impressed with the food and service. We went for brunch and our waitress Mathilde was amazing! She was so kind and gave us great suggestions off the menu. The chicken and waffles was the best I’ve ever had. Can’t...wait to come back!More

We just happened to be staying at the lost arms and needed a late dinner on arrival. What a pleasant surprise! Good cocktails , some nice warm, excellent charcuterie platter, bruschetta salad. Tell me a little sad they were out of steak frittes... Not surprised...this is in the top 10.More

Not impressed with the food. The lamb came out cold and I had the salmon that was hot but dry and so salty. It’s a beautiful space and our server quickly made sure we got a new plate that was hot but it was lacking...and we wouldn’t go back.More

It was fine. We were very disappointed based on reviews. My mushroom ravioli sauce had congealed by the time it was served. My husband's filet was flavorless. Our original server was great but as soon as it got crowded we never saw her again. No...one asked how our food was or commented on the face neither of us ate 1/2 our meal. Another sever saved the day by stepping in and waiting on us.More

We were three middle age women looking for an Old Montreal dinning experience. We were so looking for a special night out. What a disappointment. Our Cocktails were terrible, weak, watery and needed to be sent back . The Risotto was bland cold had no...flavor. The Pork dish was tough dry and also arrived cold. All and all we agreed it was one of the worst expensive meals we ever had out in a fine dining restaurant. The resturant it self is in a charming gorgeous building. The atmosphere is totally Old Montreal European. Wait staff were generally cool and unattractive.More

My wife and I had our first dinner of our honeymoon at Brasserie 701. We had such an amazing time and thoroughly enjoyed our meal. Our server, Gavin, was so gracious and kind. He made us feel special on our honeymoon and was so fun...to talk too. When we asked for recommendations on our trip, Gavin then pulled his colleague, Josh, who was also amazingly kind and gave us some great recommendations. We are so happy to have had dinner here and will return again on our next visit to Montreal!More

Located in the Hotel D’arms is Brassiere 701, beautiful and large bar are, Food and service were quite exceptional. High top table seating offered . Decor is a blend of the classic and the nouveau. Lovely and inventive cocktails , L’insomniac was one of note....Very close to Notre-Dame Basilica if you are trying to eat prior to the Aura Light Show. Our server Gavin was attentive , knowledgeable and witty. The entrees were nicely portioned , filet excellent and rosemary and onion marinated flank steak were delectable . Didn’t have time to stay for dessert!More

Excellent food and drinks. Our waiter recommended a wonderful red wine that was perfect. After a modest wait staff miscue with our order, perhaps related to the "changing of the guard" in the middle of our dining experience, a gentleman named Gavin came to the...rescue and went over and above to make things right. It wound up being our best dining experience during our stay.More

Best bartender! Jimmy provided us with a wonderful experience at the Brasserie 701. Perfect service with welcoming, warm smile and professional attitude to detail. He will suggest the best drink for you based on your preferences. We loved that he really listened to what we...were looking for rather than just recommending the most expensive thing on the menu. We will definitely return!More
