Had a lovely Mother's Day afternoon tea at Café Holt yesterday & everything was absolutely wonderful.
We've also been there before for brunch & every visit has been consistently great - beautiful atmosphere, attentive service, & delicious food. You can really feel the care & attention to detail in the whole experience. Definitely one of those places that makes you want to come back again

Eggs overcooked, burnt in fact. Fries, bland, somehow. Tiny portion of tartare, 4 sad crostinis, 17$. The service was attentive, if not slow. Art deco, generic.

The service was good overall. The staff were friendly & attentive, but we did order extra fries that never arrived, which brought the experience down a bit.
The atmosphere wasn't as great as expected & felt a bit underwhelming for the location.
As for the food, it was very average & nothing particularly memorable.
Overall, a decent experience, but there's definitely room for improvement in both ambiance & food quality. We reserved in advance..

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)! :)

Allez-y si vous avez envie de vous faire plaisir & de profiter d'un beau décor, mais pour la nourriture en tant que telle; Regardez vos options, surtout au centre ville… 🤔

Comme dans presque tous les restaurants de nos jours, il faut faire des calculs visuels pour avoir de l'eau… ridicule.

🍔🥗
La nourriture en tant que telle était correcte. La salade César ? Nulle. Par contre, le burger, les patates douces & surtout la toast avec champignons étaient incroyablement bons.

💲
Côté prix, ce n'est pas le resto où aller si vous voulez faire des économies.

Le service était agréable. Personnellement, je préfère le bar aux tables, car le service y est plus'disponible' & ça fait plus de sens de tiper à mon avis. La personne au bar était vraiment plus chaleureuse & attentive à mes besoins.

👎Est-ce que je recommande ? Non. Quand même pas, ce n'est pas fou. Par contre, il faut y aller pour se faire sa propre idée. Nous testerons le menu après 16h & verrons si c'est moins pire.

An upscale café nestled among luxury brand boutiques, spacious & elegant. The food was delicious, & the service was flawless from the coat check-in to the food serving. Our waitress, Jacky, stood out with her attentiveness & courteousness, always smiling as she spoke. The Americano coffee, while decent, fell short of my expectations. It lacked the richness needed to satisfy my caffeine cravings. When Jacky brought my second Americano, she misplaced the spoon on the wrong side of the cup & immediately apologized for the oversight, even though I hadn't noticed it myself. The overall experience was delightful, making it a place worth visiting.
