Le Café Holt propose une cuisine canadienne contemporaine. Nos restaurants et les plats qu’on y sert font la part belle aux ingrédients locaux, durables, de qualité et de saison.
Café Holt Ogilvy is described as a stylish space with beautiful décor and a refined yet comfortable atmosphere, where the coffee and many brunch options are praised for quality and value while service is repeatedly noted as attentive, professional and friendly; several reviews highlight standout dishes like steak and eggs, truffle fries, the Cobb salad and a well rounded brunch menu, and many visitors enjoy the chic ambiance and the option to linger with tea or cocktails, though some say the tea was bagged rather than loose leaf and a few items fall short for the price, with food sometimes arriving lukewarm and service occasionally slow or inconsistent; there are strong compliments that the staff can elevate the experience on a good day and that this location remains a go to spot in Montreal for a stylish brunch or a mid day break, while others caution that the food quality can vary and that the overall value may not match the premium setting depending on the visit, but the space remains highly regarded for its design and its ability to feel both luxe and inviting.
The service is amazing as well as the ambiance , but the food Im sorry Ive never had something so bad! Very deceived ! I got the benedicts with salmon , the salmon had such a strong smell as if it was spoiled, I also had the pancake which were so dry . The hot chocolate was also very bad it literally just tasted like milk , sad sad sad

Holt Cafe is racist! I visited the cafe after shopping at Holt,I don't drink so I settled for some Orange Juice & pancakes,the waitress proceeded to tell me they don't have OJ after 11am & that I should perhaps go around to eggspectation(which I love) for some! I was appalled & very disappointed by the incident that I ended up leaving!! I never went back again because I didn't feel welcome! It's unacceptable & I hope that those who are not welcome support businesses that treat them as valuable customers no matter their race!
In 17 years of living in Montreal, it is the first time I felt profiled by a racist white host David Lapierre telling me to bring my voice down while I was facetiming my dad & speaking arabic. I measure my words because half of the room was occupied by an event where people were litteraly shouting & you could barely hear yourself when you spoke to the person next to you. My last time at Holt.
Bel endroit pour faire une pause . Nous avons testé le service de thé. La nourriture est correcte, je n'ai pas été impressionnée. Le service était bien & la salle est magnifique.
You get one star for the atmosphere. The staff is extremely rude, the service is unacceptable, & they seem to think it's okay for guests to wait around for two hours with no one actually working. The food was also horrible-I personally don't like the new chef.
Very nice spot. Service was excellent. Was a little chilly in the restaurant on a cold winter day. The problem is with the food. Everything was luke warm...even the coffee. Disappointed

Café Holt is spectacular- always my go-to when in Montreal. The Caesar Salad with chicken was amazing! Marc, our server, made our experience extra special- he suggested a great wine, was attentive & so pleasant! Highly recommend this restaurant (& server, if you can get him)! :)
Located inside Ogilvy (Holt Renfrew), this spot is perfect for a drink or a bite after some luxury shopping. The staff is always friendly, & the drinks are excellent. My personal favorite is the passion fruit cocktail.
The food is also good, including their brunch options. It's the ideal place to sit with a friend, relax, & gossip about life.
My dear friend brought me here for my birthday lunch, & I was immediately impressed by how beautifully the café is designed - every detail was thoughtfully done. We ordered the truffle fries & the Cobb salad, & both were absolutely delicious.
What truly stood out, however, was the outstanding service from Michelle. She was professional, warm, & genuinely thoughtful. She overheard my friend mentioning to the maître d' that it was my birthday, & to my surprise, she brought out some delicious macarons with a candle!
That small but heartfelt gesture made my day & truly elevated the entire experience. I hope the management recognizes how fortunate they are to have such a dedicated & professional person on their team. I'll definitely be coming back!

Après une parenthèse shopping bien méritée dans l'univers prestigieux de Holt Renfrew Ogilvy, je me suis accordé un brunch au Café Holt - un moment de pur raffinement. J'ai choisi la tartine à l'avocat, servie sur un pain au levain grillé, relevée par une salsa d'avocat d'une grande fraîcheur, une touche subtile de feta, un soupçon de harissa & un oeuf poché parfaitement exécuté. Une assiette élégante, fraîche & raffinée, à l'image du lieu.
Le service, irréprochable & attentionné, fut rapide & élégant. L'ambiance chic & bien fréquentée, dans ce cadre contemporain, a sublimé l'expérience.
Un brunch exquis qui marie luxe discret, élégance & saveurs délicates. Un grand merci au Café Holt pour ce moment que j'ai savouré avec beaucoup de plaisir.
