  • Brasserie Holder

    Ellen Jakobsmeier
    It all come down to that tricky “i” before “e” when distinguishing between the Brasserie Holder – a wonderful addition to the French dining scene – or a Brassiere – a female undergarment that holds up the breasts. A selection of traditional brasserie favourites, including mussels and fries, Niçoise salad, beef bourguignon and steak tartar, are staples on the menu. What was once an old Bank of Montreal building (that I’m sure had a fair share of hold ups), the wide open space and high ceilings don’t go to waste as the matching floor to ceiling windows (overlooking McGill) make for excellent people watching. Catering to the after work crew looking to loosen up with libations and a delicious dinner, the Holder can help many a hard worker out. An excellent place to mix and mingle with member of the opposite sex.

    We had a reservation for 12 people for 10:00. We were not giver our table until 10:30. Then they gave us a group menu, which was reduced version of the main menu. The waiter said that if we knew what was on the main menu we could order, but he would not show us the menu. So, my wife went to front to see the main menu. He saw her and told her "you cannot see the main menu" , and "don't cause any problems".

    Finally, when we started ordering from the abridged menu, which did not more than 4 main dishes, we were told they had ran out of some of the dishes.

    In the end, at 11:10, all 12 of us got up and left.

    Terrible, NEVER going back there!!!
