Review Summary

Café Holt Ogilvy offers a stylish and sophisticated setting that many diners find perfect for a relaxing break, brunch, or an afternoon tea while shopping. While the atmosphere is frequently praised as elegant and modern, reviews regarding the quality of food and the consistency of service are notably mixed. Some guests rave about delicious dishes and attentive staff, while others express disappointment with lukewarm temperatures, overcooked items, or slow service. Despite some inconsistencies, the establishment remains a popular destination for its refined aesthetic and overall convenience, though some visitors feel the culinary experience does not always match the high-end location.

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.
