Franchement j'ai bien aimé ce resto. Les plats était bon & bien servi, même si l'attente était un peu longue. Le serveur était sympa, on voit qu'il fait de son mieux. Les frites été croustillantes & le burger vraiment bon. Par contre la musique un peu trop forte a mon gout. J'y retournerais surement avec des amis parce que le rapport qualité prix est correct.
What an amazing spot. This was a recommendation that did not disappoint. The food was amazing on all fronts, they have this menu nailed down pretty good. The service, & our server Joe was absolutely top notch, he was one of the best servers I've ever had. If you are on the lookout for some classic brasserie food this is a must visit.
We had a wonderful dinner at Holder in Old Montréal. The atmosphere was lively & welcoming, & every dish was beautifully presented. The duck confit was crispy & tender, the beef was rich & flavorful, & the salmon tartare was fresh & well balanced. We also really enjoyed the house fries & sautéed mushrooms. Generous portions, attentive service, & a great overall dining experience.
Their beef tartare is an absolute must-try! It's the standard by which I compare all other beef tartares. I'm sure the other dishes are great, but I can't get myself to try anything else!
I had made reservation just before I went there, it confirmed right away. It was good start. It looked so busy at the moment, I was excited to have onion soup. But onion soup was not warm enough, only on top of the cheese was hot. Also it is too watery & not savory enough. My server didn't do qualty check for food, she just popped up when I got my food. I waited for taking my bill & billing out long time. Also I saw someone using their saliva to take off the table paper easily.
I highly recommend Duck confit, but I am not sure I am gonna come back.
I had an amazing dining experience at Holder. The manager of one of my favorite Italian restaurants in Toronto recommended this place, & it absolutely lived up to the recommendation.
I ordered the cold foie gras & the duck confit, & both were exceptional. The foie gras was fresh, delicate, & surprisingly light, with delicious accompaniments that perfectly balanced its richness. The duck confit was cooked to perfection-crispy on the outside, incredibly tender on the inside, & full of deep, rich flavor.
Every component of the dishes worked beautifully together, creating a meal with wonderful depth of flavor & perfect balance. The presentation was elegant, & the quality of the ingredients really stood out.
The service was also excellent. Everyone was warm, attentive, & professional, making the entire dining experience even more enjoyable.
I can absolutely see why this restaurant was recommended to me.
If I could give this restaurant more than five stars, I would. Our waiter was very informative about the gluten-free options & made sure that the appetizers that my non-celiac boyfriend ordered were gluten free so that I could try them! Never thought I'd try beef tartare in my life, but when the dish came out with [very tasty] gluten-free crackers I simply had to - it was delicious. My shrimp entrée was amazing. Because there was a dedicated gluten-free fryer, I had to try the French fries too… they were perfectly crispy. Stellar service & good overall. Holder is a must-go for celiacs in Montreal!
