I went here for lunch while at work. It's a very cute little cafe and offers some great lunch menu items. The sandwich I had was really good however they wouldn't substitute the salad it came with for a different salad which haws kind of disappointing. I was surprised at how well priced the lunch items were. The service was average but what I really enjoyed was how health conscious the menu items were. It's great to see a little cafe focus on healthy living!

Tucked into the south east corner of Holt's second floor, this is a standby for the ladies who lunch.
Menu items are tantalizing tastes prepared for the health-conscious. The kitchen is relatively small, which means it can be a bit slow and it can be relatively noisy (a lot of hard surfaces here). Sitting by the window wall gives you a view if Manulife's east entrance with views outdoors as well as the entrance waterfall, but the sun can get in your eyes at some times of year. Bring your sunglasses or consider another table.
I miss the quiche but the menu always has something tempting. It is a reliable place to go in the winter months, when you want a place to go from the office towers without have to go outside. Just try not to look at the prices in the store outside the cafe, unless your credit card can bear the damage. -

We have been going to jolts cafe a for a little while now. The food is very good and always a bit different. The soups are particularly delicious. Service can be a bit slow but they are all very nice that it makes up for it. They always remember us which is very nice. They could improve on the wine selection.
A shame they are not opened later for dinner but it's definitely the best week end lunch place in the city. And with such nice service, they make you feel at home -

Always good food and the menu changes regularly. The salmon and the short rib are very good, and the soups are solid. I don't think I've ever been disappointed by the food there. The staff are very friendly and helpful. Brunch on the weekend is particularly good.
One of the best lunch spots downtown.
It's too bad the cafe is only open for lunch, because it would be a great dinner spot in a market that lacks quality restaurants. -

I never knew Holt Renfrew had its own cafe until a friend suggested it for lunch one day. It's another great lunch venue for downtown folks. The cafe is tucked all the way in the back of the store on the second floor. They often have a menu posting their daily specials outside one of their entrances, the one closest to the pedway leading to City Centre.
We waited quite awhile for our meals to arrive, almost 40-45 min. We probably should have arrived a bit earlier to beat the lunch time crowd, but it really wasn't that busy when we got there. I think it was because there were only 2 waitresses, and even then it was mostly one doing most of the work. Long waiting times such as this aren't very good downtown when people need to be getting back to their offices.
The food did not disappoint however, when it finally arrived. The salmon wellington was delicious. I'm usually very picky with my salmon, but this one was done just right -- moist, not dry, with just the right soft, flaky texture. My friend had the pea and scallop risotto, which was also quite tasty -- the peas didn't overpower the rest of the dish, and the scallops were cooked to perfection.
The serving portions are smaller though; the cost for each dish is a bit pricey for the amount of food you get. I was able to finish my plate (which is quite rare) and I still wasn't completely full.
So overall, delicious food but slow service and higher than average prices for lunch. But definitely worth a try! Aim to go around 11:30 am or slightly before that if you can. They also have a mouth-watering dessert menu! -

This is a nice restaurant hidden in Holt Renfrew, mostly with soups, salads, and sandwiches. The orange juice is freshly-squeezed, and the desserts are good. Prices are more reasonable than the rest of Holt Renfrew. The French onion soup wasn't as good as I was expecting, but my salad and dessert were both great. It's a very good lunch option when downtown.
