"My food photographer, Alistar, ordered duck confit. The confit was amazing, salty and melted right off the bone (A total WIN)."

Marisa Pellegrino

"There’s one dish that is almost a must when eating at Holder and that is the duck confit. The skin was perfectly crispy and the meat was tender and not at all dry. The duck flavour really shone through as it was simply served with roasted potatoes and arugula."

Lesley Chesterman

"The profiteroles were pretty perfect."

Tastet

"We ate a delicious "luxury" fish and chips, cooked the Holder way."

Marisa Pellegrino

"Diva #2 had the beef cheeks bourguignonne. Absolutely delicious, the meat simply melted. The mashed potatoes it was served on picked up the demi-glace type sauce and the mushrooms added another layer of meatiness. A big, satisfying portion and paired perfectly with the wine."

Gayot

"Try the beef cheeks bourguignon."

JP Karwacki

"While its menu is not wholly restricted to l’hexagone, dishes like the braised beef cheek à la bourguignon make this restaurant a must."

"They have one of the best shepherd’s pies in the city. It’s loaded with succulent bits of shredded lamb that simply melt in your mouth. The onions and cognac sauce that they drench it with will send you straight into shepherd’s pie heaven."

Ink and Paper (Napkins)

"A very large soup, It was deliciously subtle, staying true to its flavour without being super salty or cheesy. One of the better french onion soups that I’ve had in my lifetime."

Rachel Recommends

"The French onion soup is also very good, with a crusty top and dark broth soup that’s mostly onion."
