Opened in 2003, this large European brasserie has become a real Montreal institution. It is done by the Holder brothers (Paul, Richard and Maurice), whose other projects include La Brasserie Bernard, Le Café du Nouveau Monde, Le Darling, Le Majestique, Le Waverly and Le 409.

AMBIANCE

Be it lunch, brunch or dinner, the Holder is always buzzing with activity. Designed by the late Luc Laporte, one of this city’s most reputable architects, this large and airy space looks and feels like it’s always been around. The high ceilings, the tall windows, the bar walls stocked with hundreds of bottles, all contribute to making this place remarkable and one of the busiest restaurants in town.  To top it off, the service is done by a wonderful team of people who enjoy their work, and will insure that you have a great time. Holder is dynamic, noisy (it must be said!), and a lot of fun at a reasonable price…
