Situé dans un magnifique immeuble du début du siècle dans le Vieux-Montréal, le lieu rappelle ces belles grandes brasseries européennes où il fait toujours bon de manger et de boire dans une atmosphère chaleureuse, énergique et conviviale. La carte propose une grande sélection de plats bistro, tantôt classiques, tantôt plus contemporains, plus légers et plus santé.
Holder est perçu comme une brasserie française animée et conviviale où l'ambiance peut être festive et décontractée selon l'affluence, avec des plats classiques fidèles et généreux comme les joues de boeuf, le confit de canard, les moules et des raviolis au homard, souvent loués pour leur saveur et leur présentation soignée, tandis que certains plats varient en qualité et en goût. Le service est généralement efficace et attentif, capable de proposer des accords mets et vins adaptés, mais le niveau sonore et le nombre de tables serrées peuvent rendre la conversation difficile lors des heures d'affluence et certaines visites se déroulent plus rapidement que souhaité. Le rapport qualité-prix est jugé bon dans l'ensemble, avec des portions généreuses et une carte variée qui convient aussi bien à un dîner entre amis, en famille ou à un repas d'affaires, même si certains convives estiment que le prix est élevé et que quelques plats manquent de fraîcheur ou de jus. L'expérience peut être très positive lorsque le service et la cuisine s'accordent, et de nombreuses critiques soulignent une atmosphère accueillante, un cadre agréable et une sélection de vins intéressante, faisant de Holder une adresse mémorable et souvent recommandée dans le quartier du Vieux Montréal pour ceux qui recherchent une cuisine française de style brasserie bien exécutée.
It's a pretty happening place for dinner. The food was excellent, beef cheeks & mussels in particular. Everything we tried was top notch. It may be a little loud for some people & for some reason, it was really warm inside. But great otherwise.
Antoine was our server & elevated our experience! We came for 6:30pm on a Saturday & the place quickly filled up. For how busy the restaurant was, I was impressed that we never needed to catch Antoine's attention. Very attentive. The cocktails were very good as was the food. Highly recommended but book a table ahead of time!
Best dining experience I've had in a while! I regret not getting our servers name. She said it was her third day, she had brown hair & she was divine. Attentive & an overall delight to have her serving our dinner. The tartare & crème brûlée were classically prepared with amazing flavours. The ravioli... I could have order three more plates it was the best I've ever had. This restaurant is clearly a very well oiled machine, it was impressive to see. Thank you so much to our server & the whole staff!
OVERALL: 4/5 Food: 3/5 Service: 5/5 Ambiance: 5/5 - Clean & Fresh Visiting beautiful Montreal & this place was recommended by a friend. The ambiance was that of a typical upscale French bistro. The service was amazing (even though we had 3 different servers in the course of our meal). We had.. - Country Vegetable Soup - light & fresh but too much salt. - Steak Frites - The fries were limp & soggy. The steak was fine. - Burrata Salad - Excellent. Enjoyed the figs. - Lemon Cream & Mascarponne Mousse - Excellent The food was absolutely amazing. The best Thai food I have eaten in the city.

Staff were very nice. The place was upscale & a lot of people were there for business lunches etc. we had the duck confit & the onion soup. The duck was good but not as crispy as expected. It was also a bit oily. The soup was good.
We came for lunch & had the soup, burrata salad & beef tartare. The burrata was fresh, the beef tartare one of the best I ever had but the soup underwhelming. Would definitely come back & try more tartare.

What an absolute gem of a spot. The service was impeccable, the food was very delicious, & the price I found reasonable. I will definitely be returning to this place on future troops to Montreal.
Our server was Theo. He had a table of 18 in addition to ours. He was nothing short of amazing. Restaurant is SUPER busy but is so well run you can't help but sit back & enjoy show put on by the wait staff. The food was excellent & brought out with perfect timing Make the effort to try this place. You won't be sorry.
The service was very good & fast. Food was amazing. We had the gnocchi & the paella. We devoured both. Our server was great & kept speaking in French to help us practice.
Had a late dinner here after the eclipse. They welcomed our party & we thoroughly enjoyed our evening. Lots of excellent choices on the menu. Seafood, meat, vegetarian....good appetizers & desserts as well as a good selection of wines & other choices from the bar. It was lively without being loud & service was stellar. The specials of the day were stand outs including cod & veal. 100% recommend!
Ce n'est pas ma première fois que je vais a ce superbe restaurant. Parcontre, j'ai eu le privilège d'être servi par Joe qui a été très a l'écoute de nos besoins. Une soirée inoubliable!
