I came for the foie gras and got super disappointed when the server said they ran out of it!That's it for the negativeThe rest was just delicious, had the octopus salad and the paella AND the chocolat fondant...Service was fast and excellentThe room is a little too big and a little noisy to my taste but not a problem

Love love love! Definitely recommend. This place is both beautiful and warm. The service was attentive, professional while still being kind.Front and back of house are too notch. The food was cooked to perfection. You can tell that they pay attention to the quality of ingredients along with the integrity of preparation.I literally can’t wait to come back again!

I have pretty high expectations with the restaurant which may also but why I’m not thoroughly impressed.Service - There were too many customers and just not enough servers. The server was trying very hard but we didn’t get to order another drink because he was just too busy to tend all the customers.The French onion soup is pretty good. Good gruyere cheese. However, the paella was disappointing probably because I was expecting more traditional paella. However, the pappardelle was pretty decent.The ambience felt loud and crowded.I can't say I was impressed with the food. It was good but not the best I've had.

Went to this place for V-Day and over all it was a nice experience.Place has a lively vibe with impeccable service. There was a misunderstanding over one of the meals and they were happy to change it to what we had in mind.Food was well-presented, cooked well, tasty and fresh. We had the oysters which were very fresh and served with various condiments, fish soup which was flavourful, nice consistency, and well-heated, the beef cheek which came in with an assortment of veggies and an awesome gravy, albeit the meat was a tad dry and finally the saffron bouillabaisse that was an explosion of flavors.Only criticism was that the tables were too close, almost 15cm apart so it was a little bit uncomfortable, especially with a noisy family with children next to us.

I had a really great experience here! One of the few places in the old port that is reasonably priced especially for french food! The service was impeccable and the vibe was great. We ordered the beef tartare, mussels and the lobster ravioli. The beef tartare was perfectly seasoned although I wish we got another price of the bread cracker. The mussels and fries were yummy! The portion was quite large. The lobster ravioli had a good truffle flavour but overpowered the lobster filling. Overall really tasty. Our friend ordered the duck confit and thought it was a bit dry. Would definitely come again when looking for a French resto near the old port!!

Traditional French Onion Soup was on my husband's bucket list for our trip to Montreal. After reading many reviews, we decided to try the dish at Holder. The soup was full of onions and bread and had an ample amount of cheese topping it. The broth was good, and he enjoyed the dish, though it wasn't quite as rich as he was hoping for.We also ordered the house pommes frittes. They were a little more done than we would have liked, but the flavorful mayonnaise that accompanied them made up for it.The staff were friendly and helpful. The restaurant was beautiful, and the atmosphere created a great Montreal experience.

The Bottomline: excellent food and service! Order the lamb chops!Food: so so good. We order the calamari to start, lamb chops and the flank with shallots as mains. For dessert we shared the creme brulee. Every dish was excellent and delicious. The only complaint we had was that the calamari was not separated and crumbled from being too crispy after being pulled apart; super forgiven though because it was so soft and well cooked inside.Service: our server Jo was the best. She went above and beyond. Our glasses were never empty and she made sure to always checked up on us.Cost: we paid approx $190 for two people with taxes and tip. I found the cost to be reasonable.

Too many amazing restaurant and competition in Montréal. I could give Holder between a 3-4 stars. Just your average friends and family dinner hangout restaurant, equivalent to a Cactus/Milestone. Prices are a bit high for what you get, but overall is alright.
