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.

Delicieux! Excellent service de la part de Luca. On a été très bien servi & nous avons apprécié son attention envers les clients. Nous reviendrons. Merci!

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.

Quel endroit bizarre! On s'y sent comme dans une maquette. C'est froid, c'est pas « attaché ». Y'a personne là-dedans qui avait du fun, pas d'éclats de rire, pas de vie. Comme si on regardait une pièce de théâtre « Allons au restaurant ». Ambiance inexistante, bouffe générique. Mais service attentionné en français, ce qui est de plus en plus rare dans ce coin de la ville. On y va si : On est le riche héritier d'un papa diplomate On aime un décor sans âme qui rappelle étrangement un rendu 3D dans une brochure d'architecte On cherche un endroit aseptisé On souhaite payer de la bouffe ordinaire à un prix extraordinaire On est une vieille Anglaise à l'existence oisive qui sort de son brushing On n'y va pas si : On n'aime pas payer 32 $ pour un verre de sancerre On aime la chaleur humaine On aime les restos inventifs & accueillants qui font la renommée de Montréal On veut avoir du fun

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 .

A disappointing visit. I arrived around 3:30, didn’t even get a glass of water until 4. (I asked for it) Ordered a cocktail & it was an average drink.

Servers weren’t bad but not good. I would say save yourself some money & time & go to other places.

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.
