Midi express à 32$ ! Franchement pas mal pour le rapport qualité prix. Par contre un petit espresso dessert en plus arrondi à 35$ & je vous amène tout mon service ! Soyez pas pinces.... Vous avez une belle place & une superbe équipe qui m'a cuisiné les meilleurs rognons que j'ai goûtés ici en 15 ans !View more

Food is spectacular, & the price is fair. I ordered the Papardelle with mushrooms & pancetta. It was tremendously good! Service is very efficient too. & the place is beautiful, charming, with a big bar in the background. I recommend this place 100/100! Because I'll be back for sure!View more

Great place, would highly recommend going if you're in Montreal. The beef cheek was really good. Good food, busy & a bit crowded but good atmosphere in general. Recommend a reservation. The service was particularly good! We ate there on October 4, & our server Joe was incredible. Never had to wait on anything, quick on new drinks, great recommendations, & just a pleasure to talk with.View more

Liste de vins interressante, bons plats de type bistro français. J ai bien aimé le confit de canard servi avec pommes de terre & salade d aragula, par contre la soupe à l oignons n est pas très bien balancée...View more

This was truly one of the best dining experiences I've ever had. The food here is beyond delicious, even down to the free bread. We ordered the French onion soup, the grilled hanger steak with shallots & fries, the pappardelle with mushrooms, pine nuts, & pancetta, & a side of sautéed rapini. Everything exceeded our already high expectations. For dessert, we ordered the butterscotch mi-cuit with Maldon salt & butterscotch ice cream- I don't think I've ever had a better dessert. The wine selection is fantastic & my boyfriend loved the cider on tap! If you find yourself in Montréal, this place is a must!View more

Food was wonderful, service superb, & the decor was nice. However, the volume of everyone speaking was too much. A bit of sound deadening material is needed to have the atmosphere match the rest of the otherwise spectacular experience.View more

Exactly what we would look for having lunch. The waitress was extremely nice with a personal style that I liked. I ordered beef cheek & creme brûlé, both were delicious. Little bit expensive for what it is but in Montreal to find a place with a high French food best value is almost impossible, always expensiveView more

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)View more

We didn't have reservations, just got to town; place was packed...the squeezed us in & I'm glad they did! The decor the long bar in the restaurant is magnificent. The large space, the music, close tables, people talking makes for a very nice ambience. Food was exceptional! Highly recommend going there!View more
