Review Summary

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.

Brunch food was just ok. Nice atmosphere/setting & good service but nothing exceptional for the price range.

J'ai adoré mon expérience chez Café Holt.
Le service est A1 attentionné, professionnel & chaleureux du début à la fin.

J'ai pris le steak & eggs, parfaitement exécuté, savoureux exactement ce qu'on espère d'un brunch de qualité.

Le décor est magnifique : chic, moderne, lumineux, avec une ambiance à la fois raffinée & confortable.

Un endroit où on se sent bien, autant pour manger que pour profiter du moment.

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.

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.

We came for a birthday brunch & brought our own cake, but we were charged $5 for each piece we cut to eat. On top of that, we requested twice to have the table cleaned before the cake arrived, yet they still placed it on a dirty table. You'd think that if they're charging for cutting the cake, they'd at least ensure the table is properly set for it, but they didn't pay attention to that & the beef tartare made us sick , I should've have eat in since even the color was almost grey . But service was good & it's nice spot

Le brunch est vraiment bien! Surtout accompagné d'un bin cocktail!

Un excellent chocolat chaud au lait d'avoine. Les pancakes étaient également délicieux, parfaitement moelleux. Le service a été irréprochable, même avec l'affluence au moment de notre arrivée. Cette expérience nous a donné envie de revenir pour tester le brunch ! À très bientôt !

Terrible service & welcome. The receptionist didn't bother to greet us, & the waiter (Lucas) kept coming to insinuate that it was time to leave 6 times, even though we were a large group of 5 & had only been there for 1.5 hours (each one ordered food from the brunch menu & drinks). Additionally, there was no queue & plenty of empty tables available. The food was okay. The only positive aspect of this place is the aesthetic.

we were 6 for brunch & got put on a table in the no window corner behind a worn out counter. Even though we'd reserved 2 weeks in advance. Food was adequate & not up to par for the $$$$ I mean who serves 2 egg bennies on one piece of whole-wheat toast Quite mehhh ..... maybe better for cocktails in the evening. Bar looked nice.
