Holder
A trendy little French bistro in Old Montréal.
Holder Restaurant Review:
Old Montréal has no lack of restaurants laying claim to greatness and charging exorbitant prices, so it is refreshing to come across this bistro with its affordable menu and reliable food. The large, open dining room with booth seating gives a majestic feel to the setting. Try the beef cheeks bourguignon, duck confit with arugula and roasted potatoes, or mussels in a Pastis sauce. The endive and watercress salad is worth checking out, as is the classic steak frites. For dessert, there's balsamic cherries with crème brûlée ice cream, or runny butterscotch cake with Maldon salt and butterscotch ice cream. An agreeable wine list matches the food. This is a comfortable, hip place, rather than a culinary tour de force, but you'll walk away satisfied. Service is sometimes slow, but usually attentive.
