We picked Holder for is location to our hotel, but ended up wanting to go back because it was fantastic. We sat at the bar while waiting for our table & the bar staff were great. The food at dinner was excellent. The bison mozzarella appetizer was great; duck confit, & pepperedelle dinners amazing; & the creme Brule dessert was one of the best I've ever had. The prices were very reasonable as well

Great food, service, & atmosphere. Loved the onion soup, lobster ravioli, & braised beef cheek was just amazing! Tender, flavorful, with delicious mashed potatoes underneath it with crunchy sring beans. Would definitely visit this place again next time I'm in Montreal!

Very lively atmosphere & good food. If you are a regular, you will notice that the menu selection does not change much. But, if you are a casual goer, the resta is real nice, a landmark in Montreal nightlife.

Midi express à 32$ ! Franchement pas mal pour le rapport qualité prix. Par contre un petit espresso dessert en plus arrondi à 35$ & je vous amène tout mon service ! Soyez pas pinces.... Vous avez une belle place & une superbe équipe qui m'a cuisiné les meilleurs rognons que j'ai goûtés ici en 15 ans !

Food is spectacular, & the price is fair. I ordered the Papardelle with mushrooms & pancetta. It was tremendously good! Service is very efficient too. & the place is beautiful, charming, with a big bar in the background. I recommend this place 100/100! Because I'll be back for sure!

Great place, would highly recommend going if you're in Montreal. The beef cheek was really good. Good food, busy & a bit crowded but good atmosphere in general. Recommend a reservation. The service was particularly good! We ate there on October 4, & our server Joe was incredible. Never had to wait on anything, quick on new drinks, great recommendations, & just a pleasure to talk with.

Liste de vins interressante, bons plats de type bistro français. J ai bien aimé le confit de canard servi avec pommes de terre & salade d aragula, par contre la soupe à l oignons n est pas très bien balancée...

This was truly one of the best dining experiences I've ever had. The food here is beyond delicious, even down to the free bread. We ordered the French onion soup, the grilled hanger steak with shallots & fries, the pappardelle with mushrooms, pine nuts, & pancetta, & a side of sautéed rapini. Everything exceeded our already high expectations. For dessert, we ordered the butterscotch mi-cuit with Maldon salt & butterscotch ice cream- I don't think I've ever had a better dessert. The wine selection is fantastic & my boyfriend loved the cider on tap! If you find yourself in Montréal, this place is a must!

Food was wonderful, service superb, & the decor was nice. However, the volume of everyone speaking was too much. A bit of sound deadening material is needed to have the atmosphere match the rest of the otherwise spectacular experience.
