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.

Avant ou après une séance de shopping, c est l endroit parfait pour un lunch léger, dans une ambiance calme & un décor élégant. Également ouvert pour le brunch, samedi & dimanche seulement.

Café assez reculé du bruit du centre ville avec une décoration moderne & une ambiance calme.
Parfait pour prendre un verre.

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..
