Brasserie Holder: Maurice Holder

Brasserie Holder Dept: Several restaurants, including Joe Beef, a high-end establishment in Montreal's Little Burgundy neighbourhood, and Brasserie Holder, an eatery located in Montreal's Old Port, say they have been ordered to remove English or foreign words from menus and decor, according to CBC. Holder said his chef's grocery list, which was written on a blackboard when the language police dropped by the restaurant, said " salade , oeuf , sucre and steak." More Montreal restaurateurs are speaking out about the demands imposed by Quebec's language police over signs and menu items that are not in French. According to Maurice Holder, the owner of Brasserie Holder, the Office quebecois de la langue fran aise OQLF asked the restaurant to comply with the law, Bill 101, and get rid of several things around the kitchen.
