Près de 10 expériences dans ce restaurant. Je garde un excellent souvenir des années 2014-2015. Plus les années passent, plus je reste mitigé &'sur ma faim' en quittant ce joli restaurant. Repas du 7 juillet 2024 : fish n chips quelconque, sans goût, fade. La mayonnaise qui accompagnait le plat formait une croûte sur le rebord du contenant. Frites acceptables. Second plat : le saumon accompagné d'une gigantesque portion de purée de pommes de terre. Je garde ce seul souvenir de mon repas : une surdose de purée acidulée. Mon voisin de table : un excellent plat de pâtes. Bon, enfin du bon. Ma voisine de table : une acceptable salade de mozza fraîche, d'une simplicité déconcertante. & la gaspacho? Je suis mitigé. La présentation des plats est très ordinaire. Je m'attendais à mieux. Depuis mes 4 ou 5 dernières visites chez Holder, je ne suis jamais sorti en me disant que le repas était délicieux. Dommage. Les plus chez Holder ; le service irréprochable des jeunes hommes, le décor spacieux & élégant & la carte des vins.View more

To start, the ambiance & look of the restaurant are absolutely outstanding. & the service was fast & the staff were very kind & helpful. An excellent choice if you're looking to celebrate a birthday or anniversary. We opted to share the seafood paella, which was listed as a main, & it exceeded our expectations. The server recommended a spicy twist on the classic beef tartare, which was delightful. However, the highlight of the evening was undoubtedly the chicken paté, which was extraordinary. For our main courses, we enjoyed the hanger steak, braised beef, lobster ravioli, & duck confit. Each dish was exquisite & worth trying, but the lobster ravioli stood out as my personal favorite. Holder is a must-visit in Montreal.View more

Steak was rubbery, duck confit was a bit too dry. Their vegetable soup was the only thing that I enjoyed.View more

Great spot. First time there. A friend introduced me to the restaurant. Both had great meals & a lovely Cab Sauv suggested to us by our server.View more

One of the best restaurants i've been to during my trip in montreal. The oysters, foie gras, & the beef tartare was amazing & certainly worth the price. Will definitely come back again!View more

A fine spot. The handmade pasta was quite nice, & they make a quality White Russian as far as I'm concerned. There was nothing too brilliant here, just competently made cuisine. The price seems a touch high here compared to some other nicer downtown options, but you will definitely leave satisfied.View more

J'ai commandé des calmars frites & une paella. C'est bien sauf que la paella est un peu trop salée.View more

Ça ne vaut pas le détour. Sauce de paella avec goût incertain, les aliments étaient de qualité, portion de riz insuffisante. Tartare de saumon portion repas était correct sans plus, servi avec un seul croûton! Salade verte, sans goût ni épices. Service courtois mais novice. Établissement propre.View more

Can be a bit loud, overall would recommend for brunch & lunch but dinner can be hit or miss. Their beef isn't great, on the tougher side. Lobster ravioli is excellent.View more

Un classique de Montreal! J'ai d'ailleurs choisi deux entrées très classiques la soupe de poisson avec la rouille & la salade frisée aux lardons & mon mari a pris la salade d'endives avec le tartare. Tout était impeccable!View more

We came for lunch - service was lovely & friendly. Refilled our waters at least 12 times. This restaurant honestly floored my expectations. Best French onion soup I've ever had, best duck confit I've ever had & best French fries we've ever had. The mussels were good but not as incredible as everything else. Also the chocolate ganache cake was incredible. All around amazing experience I highly recommend this place.View more

The food isnt bad but also isnt phenomenal either. I would give it 3.5 stars if I could. The atmosphere is a bit dated & bland.View more

Nous étions un gros groupe le samedi de la formule 1. Un service courtois, rapide & des plats excellents! Le tartare de saumon & le chèvre chaud en entrée étaient excellents! & pour le plat de résistance nous avons essayé le veau de lait sauce marsala dont la cuisson était parfaite & les pâtes aux champignons & pancetta. Je recommande fortement! Nous reviendrons!View more
