I had the moules frites & it was some of the best muscles I ever had. The server was amazing & knowledgeable & helped to select a great wine! Location is stunning. 10/10

Made a last minute reservation & was seated right away despite how busy it was & arriving 10 mins early. Service was very friendly & drinks/wine came quickly. All of us really enjoyed our food & dessert. Great ambiance. Would definitely recommend :)

Holder was an outstanding dining experience. The food felt authentically French. We ordered the hanger steak with shallots which was delicious, & the confit de canard was incredible, served on a bed of fresh arugula. The restaurant was also very child-friendly as they offered a booster seat for our baby & even rearranged tables to accommodate our stroller.

They have an excellent selection of wines, beers, & cocktails. What truly stood out, though, was the staff. We were greeted in both French & English, & the service was exceptionally attentive & kind throughout the meal. Our water glasses were constantly refilled, & every interaction felt warm & welcoming.

Easily some of the best restaurant service we've experienced in a long time!

A Montréal staple. Excellent quality to price, service is top & always an evolving wine list. When you're not sure where to go, what to eat, there's no question .. it should be Holder.

We dined here on a recent trip to Montreal & my friends & I really enjoyed our meal! I had salmon, my sister had duck & another friend had the beef cheeks. Each plate was prepared perfectly & our waiter, Masha suggested the perfect wines to go with each entree . The atmosphere was very comfortable & welcoming & the staff very attentive to our needs. We highly recommend Holder..

Marvelous bistro! Great wine list, too. Worth a detour. Not cheap but totally worth it.

We had a spectacular meal at Holder last night. My wife & I shared oysters, calamari & a fish & chips dinner with a nice bottle of reasonably priced wine / with perfectly dine crème brine for dessert. The real bonus though was the exceptional waiter - Philip - who found the perfect balance of being attentive without being intrusive. He seemed to know just before me when my water or wine needed refilling. Johan who also attended to us was also awesome. Highly recommend!

One of the few places we were lucky to get dinner reservations...which is both good & bad. The service was excellent...well trained & knowledgeable wait staff. Ours was Anabelle & she made some great suggestions, topped off our wine & checked in on us. The food on the other hand was ok...we 4 got the Hanger steak (was cooked medii but was still tough/, Lobster ravioli (no flavor, wouldn't reco), the duck confit was good & the veal Marsala steak was the best among the 4 dishes.

I would give our recent dining experience at Holder six stars if I could. The food was excellent. We shared the calamari & mozzarella di bufala to start. The braised beef cheek was outstanding - rich & flavourful. The grilled hanger steak was bistro perfection. But what made the evening was possibly the best service we've had ever. Professional of course. But friendly & kind & genuine. Joe made a great evening unforgettable. His food & wine suggestions were spot on. So if you're gonna go to Holder, ask for a table in Joe's section. It's worth it.
