Holder occupe un vaste espace industriel caractérisé par de hauts plafonds et des briques apparentes qui définissent son atmosphère animée. La cuisine se concentre sur les classiques de la brasserie française avec une emphase particulière sur la précision technique. Les préparations signatures incluent un tartare de bœuf coupé à la main et assaisonné avec expertise, accompagné de frites dorées et croustillantes. Les moules sont servies en portions généreuses, cuites à la vapeur dans des bouillons aromatiques qui soulignent la salinité naturelle des mollusques. Les convives explorent un menu varié qui équilibre les techniques traditionnelles avec des présentations contemporaines. Les grandes banquettes circulaires et les boiseries polies favorisent un environnement propice à la dégustation de favoris culinaires classiques. Cet établissement maintient une réputation constante pour offrir des plats robustes et savoureux ancrés dans les principes fondamentaux des traditions européennes.
Holder est largement reconnu comme une institution du Vieux Montréal, offrant une atmosphère accueillante et une cuisine de bistro français de haute qualité. Les clients saluent fréquemment des plats emblématiques tels que la joue de bœuf braisée, le canard confit, la soupe à l'oignon et les fruits de mer frais, tout en soulignant le service exceptionnel fourni par un personnel professionnel et attentionné. Bien que le restaurant soit souvent animé et puisse devenir bruyant, de nombreux convives estiment que cela contribue à son énergie authentique et charmante. Malgré quelques rares commentaires concernant des irrégularités dans les plats ou le niveau sonore, la grande majorité des avis met en avant une expérience culinaire mémorable qui fait de cet établissement une recommandation incontournable, tant pour des sorties décontractées que pour des occasions spéciales.
Our quest for a delightful dining experience during our weekend getaway led us to Holder, & it surpassed all our expectations. With our server Antoine offering impeccable wine & dessert recommendations, & his attentiveness ensuring our glasses were never empty, combined with the stunning bar & exquisite cuisine, we will undoubtedly be recommending this dining experience. We recommend: -Château Garraud'18, Lalande-De-Pomerol. (For a full bodied affordable red wine. Antoine's recommendation) -The Duck Confit -Crème Brûlée -MI-CUIT Au Caramel Salé (A Butterscotch style lava cake with ice cream. This was a unique dish that is hard to compare to anything else I've had. This was also a Antoine recommendation)
Their ham egg Benedict is the best one I ever had because of their bechamel sauce to die for. I made it try to my bf & he was also sooo impressed. It was out first time going there but not the last! The staff are very nice & attentive & the service is super fast!

We always come here when we're in Montreal. Book ahead & always ask for a windows seat. Less traffic that way. Bustling restaurant filled with lots of energy, business folk, people on dates, family, tourists, & locals. Service is always top-notch, friendly, attentive, & knowledgeable. Food has always been great, & we always order too much. Our faves are the foil gras, grilled octopus salad, & the boeuf cheek a la borguignon. Portions are just right, for us. Prices have gone up over the last year, but I feel like it's gone up everywhere. Photos don't do the food justice. Probably the best mashed potatoes. Veal & steak, cooked to a perfect rare. We'll be back again
Duck confit was good for the first time though not as crispy as desired. Beef cheek was divine. Definitely some cool stuff on the menu, a shame we didn't have time to try dessert. Fun & attentive service too.
We took a group of executives to Holder this week & the experience was fantastic. Antoine was attentive, friendly & efficient The food, wine & sangria were delicious! Thank you for a great evening.
Fine dining in a tourist area. There are a lot of fake high-end restaurants in Old Montreal. We had a superb dinner here. The halibut special was truly special. Good wine selection, attentive but unpretentious service. A pleasurable experience all around.
The food at holder is always amazing. We have gone 4 times & never missed a chance, but the last two times were upsetting, we were seated by one waiter she was very friendly took our order then we got switched to another waiter we had only appetizers, an we were talking an waiting....waiting.....then all of a sudden the waiter comes an asks us if we wanted our check we looked at each other an said um we never got our entrée? He looked confused & walked back to the computer. After another 25 minutes, we got our meals. I had ordered a cosmo, & it took him 15 minutes to bring it by that time. I was done eating & didn't want it. We ordered our desserts we waited again now they close at 9 but there was a party of 10 behind us which the waiter was very attentive on...... so we waited. The waiter just dropped the check without ever bringing our dessert or charging us for it, so we paid & left. we were very upset, service at holder should never be like that there standards an reputation are usually very very high .
Fabulous dining - superb quality food in a lovely busy setting with very attentive friendly staff . Our only disappointment was we felt rushed through our 3 courses - rather than just taking our time to enjoy the top quality food .
