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.

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)! :)

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!

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.

The very carefully designed interior with the large windows that bring in natural light make this a delightful & unique space in Montreal. Another great feature of this restaurant is the low noise level. It was a pleasure to be able to have lunch downtown in a quiet & discreet establishment. The service was efficient, lacked warmth & pretty detached. The food is on the pricier side & I guess what you would expect at a department store cafeteria. I have had better salmon tartare & green salad elsewhere but not in such nice surroundings.

Le tarrtar de saumon etait bon & les salades sont fraiches. Les cocktails sont tres bien aussi. Pour moi le point negatif est le service. Les employés (serveurs & hotesses) ne sont pas tres courtois.. Aucun sourire & n'ont pas lair d'apprécier leur travail. Je suis certaine qu'ils receveraient plus de pourboire si ils amélioraient leur service client. Moyenne de 5 sur 10 pour cette raison.

Unfortunately, it was the last time my mom & I went there.. we got real food poisoning after the visit & suffered for a 3 days, me & my mom... I remember I did get pain in my stomach after eating there, before last time also, but I disregarded that... now it all makes sense ... I think it was a Cobb salad, maybe something else... but it was really painful... never again! Rather than that, the service is impeccable as usual...

Not tasty food for the price. Atmosphere is lovely as is the food presentation. Service very average but the biggest issue is the freshness of the food. I ordered the beet salad & the beets tasted like nothing, no flavour which means they were not fresh enough. That salad cost $24 So with tax & tip that tasteless salad cost $32. Not acceptable. The tea I ordered was lukewarm .
