Personally prefer steak tartare here to Balthazar's one in NYC. Really worth coming here for a spicy steak tartare . Loved it.

Pretty good "French" bistro fare. Not a bad address, especially if you are in the mood for something French with a Paris Bistro flair.

Carolyn Mookerjee

Lovely place, authentic French bistro cuisine , helpful wait staff , casual environment packed with locals on a Thursday night. Outstanding confit de canard ! Reasonable price.

Veronica Uribe

French basserie atmosphere, tasty food and very good service . Also child friendly !

Veronica Uribe

Ask for the salmon tartare as an appetizer and try another dish such as the calamari (instead of asking for a salmom tartare as a main dish)

Kyo Song

French onion soup is a must, especially on a cold winter afternoon. Duck confit was amazing and great salad options.

Zena Burns

I had the duck confit . He had the beef cheeks . We shared the mozzarella app. And everything. Was. Perfect.

Marie D

Convenient location. Close to Old Montreal. Good selection of wine . The calamari is cooked well and very tender. One of the few restaurants that are open late on Sunday.

Hector Garcia

I loved the place and the location. Nice restaurant and nice environment, excellent service and even the menu is not extense is good.

Peter

Awesome atmosphere with great wine and appetizers . Loved the calamari and salmon tartar . The main courses were not great, stick with apps!

Marc Kaiser

Friendly service and food that is absolutely amazing. The variety and quality is simply phenomenal.

Dale Harrison

Get the side of mushrooms . I'm usually ambivalent towards mushrooms but these were spectacular. Buttery garlicy goodness. The foie + gingerbread is also outstanding.

Jan Roessner

By far the best steak tartar I had in my lifetime. Surpasses Balthazar's and Nusr-Et's by far. Perfectly balanced.

Vojtech Ruzicka

Best salmon tartar I ever had, but everything else also great + notable service and everything comes rly fast! Highly recommended

Sunny

The lobster ravioli is delicious! Even better is the butterscotch & salted caramel pudding .

Kyo Song

Duck confit was tender, melts off the bone and came on a bed of arugula and fingerling potato slices.

Matthew Riley MacPherson

Veal , steak , beef tartare ... so amazing. Vin est fantastique et n'est pas trop cher. Great date restaurant or a nice place to go with friends.

Keilon Lawrence

The duck confit was amazing! Arugula and roasted potatoes were set off with the white truffle oil . Great flavor.

Will Kwan

Skirt steak and frites done right. Proper aioli on the side. Go med rare to make it perfect.

Linda L

The duck is amaaazing. Glutenfree . Classy restaurant . Really nice place.

Angelito LeMontréalais

Still have not tried anything that I didn't like or love at Holder. Their soups are superb and lovingly infused with a kaleidoscope of flavors. My fave is the fish soup with its roe & gruyere . Don't

Catherine A

Salmon tartare is very good. The mussels were a huge portion , more than enough for two people.

Patrick Tomasso

Eggs Benny is off the hook - Also try their plain croissant with a bowl of cafe et lait.

Lisa Rutledge

Love. Love. Love. Good stand by with interesting dishes. Can get loud . Saturday is best for brunch . Service always superb.

Andy C

Excellent in many ways the services the environment the prices are fair too if I had to point out something not as great it's their fries lol

Savannah S

The grilled salmon is a perfect mix of flavors, order it still pink and enjoy!

Tausha C

Great ambience, service and food. I had the grilled veal (medium rare) with Marsala sauce and house fries . It was fantastic.

David Zhou

Beef cheek okay, duck confit okay, pate was pate and French onion soup was fine. Service was absolutely stellar. I would love to come back.

Marie La Rue

Consistent quality, year after year. Attentive service. Great for groups and last minute reservations .

Angelina Zeppieri

Salmon tartare . Butterscotch dessert was amazing

Jason Manikel

The beef cheeks "à la Bourguinonne" were excellent. She really like the grilled vegetable couscous too.

Ahn Bustamante

Duck confit absolutely good! Desserts are big, great for sharing.

Al Shaima Al Madani

Fish and ships were really good, no chicken options in the menu

Doug Turner

Great restaurant . French Bistro style but a bit more corporate in style. Definitely recommend for business travel.

Sepehr Hamzehlouia

Good food specially the food presentation was interesting, highly recommend the beef tartar and the goat cheese .

Antoinette Marie

The Tuna Taretare is AMAZING! Pro tip: ask for tobacco sauce.

Hano A

The lobster ravioli is exquisite. Salmon tartare was also really good.

Angelito LeMontréalais

Holder is a old fave. Came in for a 30-min power lunch and the service was still excellent, and the food its usual high-quality. Couldn't leave without my usual allongé done right. Hit the link! ;) Read more

The eggs Benedict with gravlax are wonderful with a cafe-au-lait.

Mallary S

Food was yummy and service very good ... but I don't like walking out of a restaurant smelling like I had been in the deep fryer.

Shrikant Shanbhag

The brunch options are limited but the duck confit is amazing.

Dale Steinke

Very well-balanced flavors in the salmon tartare . Excellent as an appetizer .

Misterarthur Misterarthur

Fantastic. Wait staff moved like a machine, great bistro fare. Recommend!
