Holts Café | Contemporary Canadian Cuisine

Reasonable price for downtown area. Bright and nicely decor dinning room. Could have clean the dinning area better, saw stain on the wall. Washroom is clean. Complimentary bread and butter. Food came quickly and hot. Cocktails are ok, the white sangria is way too sweet and off balanced. Burger is decent and definitely filling. Server did check on us regularly but sometimes making jokes that we find it a bit awkward.

I recently visited this restaurant for afternoon tea and brunch, and I have to say, I was quite disappointed, especially considering the price. I expected a lot more in terms of quality and presentation. The parfait, in particular, was the worst part—it looked and tasted like something I could make in 30 seconds at home! There was nothing appealing or special about it at all. As for the tower they served for the afternoon tea, it felt overpriced for what was offered. Overall, it was well below my expectations, and I wouldn’t recommend it to anyone looking for a premium experience.

We had the Guerlain Honey afternoon tea, and everything was absolutely amazing. As avid afternoon tea seekers, we risk saying this was one of the best we've ever had. The scones were especially baked to perfection, and the entire experience was delightful. We will definitely be coming back to try the traditional one next time!

Came here for happy hour with my family and the service and food was amazing! Their happy hour menu items range from $5 to $20 so we ordered their entire happy hour menu! We especially loved the korean fired chicken, shishito peppers and prime rib sliders. We also love that they have a kids menu and were very accommodating and patient with my little nephews. Overall, a great lunch experience at Holt's Cafe :)

Stopped by for a quick coffee while I was shopping. It was almost lunch hour and the place was bustling. I opted for a dessert. Coffee came in fast, while I had to wait to finish my coffee for the dessert to come. Lemon meringue pie was heavenly, served with raspberry sorbet on a bed of raspberry coulis. Was worth every bite, Nathalia who helped me with my order was kind and efficient, while I understand the delay in food was not her fault. Great experience overall!

It was my first time having afternoon tea at Holts cafe and to my surprise, I really enjoyed it! This was their lunar new year themed afternoon tea and it was very well executed, and overall very filling. The service was great in my opinion as we were checked in on several times, and everyone was so friendly.

I made a reservation for Holt Cafe's Holiday Afternoon Tea right before the Christmas holidays. Understandably it's a busy time of year when you have a holiday event, but we ended up waiting over 20 minutes to get our table despite having an reservation. Once seated, we ordered our type of tea and added a glass of prosecco as well. The tea was fantastic, as expected since it's Sloane brand tea. However when it came to the actual food, sweets and pastries, it was a little disappointing. The small savory sandwiches were soggy and tasted old, and the sweet pastries were very bland and seemed like something you can get from a grocery store. The highlight was definitely the scones- absolutely fantastic with great choice of spreads. But I definitely expected a higher quality afternoon tea set from Holts Cafe.

Came here for some desserts on a hot day and it was lovely. Elegant, contemporary, and clean atmosphere. The desserts were absolutely delicious. The waiter we had was very friendly and funny. A friend had a delicious looking steak salad but did not have room to try! Would definitely come back again to try and recommend to others!
