Beautiful restaurant set inside a classic building in Old Montreal. Loved the historic styling & the magnificent bar! The atmosphere is bustling & lively, making it great for a group dinner or a night out. The food was steaming hot & delicious-the beef cheeks & French onion soup are definitely the highlights. Service was exceptional, very attentive, & welcoming. Because it's a popular spot in the city, the dining room can get quite energetic & a bit loud, so it might not be ideal for an intimate, quiet date. Highly recommend making a reservation in advanc

We had a great experience at Holder. It was very busy when we went & a bit loud but we could still have an easy conversation at our table of two.

The gazpacho was very good while the calamari was not our favorite. It was a bit rubbery. For entrees we had the beef cheek & the mussels. Both were very good, although some of the mussels were a bit gritty. I preferred the beef cheek.

For dessert we had the chocolat crémeux & the sorbet trio. The chocolate was one of the best desserts I've ever had. The sorbet was extremely tart.

The service was excellent & very professional. Overall, we had a great time & enjoyed our food.

Had dinner with friends here. Ordered several cocktails & they were great! Had the beef cheeks with mash potatoes, very tender & flavourful. Mussels & fries were decent. French onion soup is a must have along with the calamari! Friendly service & ambience!

Came to Holder during my Montreal trip & overall, the ambience, service, & food were excellent. For a table of 4, we got the braised beef, mussles & fries, & salmon - all delicious with generous portions. The beef tartare starter was delicious & they were generous with providing extra bread without having to ask. Overall, for a table of 4 with no alcohol, the price was pretty reasonable. I highly recommend this restaurant & would definitely be visiting again when I am in Montreal next.

We had a great BD dinner at Holder. Dominique's service was impeccable. We enjoyed the calamari, the oysters, the little goat tart, the beef & the duck & everything was on point.
Dominique even sent over some free dessert once I mentionned to her on the side it was my friend's BD & made her night special, thank you Dominique!

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..

Decided to lunch here after reading the reviews.
Staff were both friendly, pleasant & helpful. Great ambience & well appointed.
My wife ordered the French onion soup & the beef tatare (her favourite) for the entrée. I had the warm goat cheese & beef cheek for the entrée.
My order was fabulous. Loved it. My wife was a wee bit disappointed with hers. The soup was below average & her beef tartare was average fare.
We'll try Vallier tomorrow as we're here for a few days.
