The Most Vibrant Steakhouse in the Greater Montreal area. etc. offers a modern twist on the steakhouse experience while adding a Mediterranean influence. With a menu that goes far beyond our numerous cuts of premium beef, including A5 Wagyu, all aged to perfection and grilled to your preference; we offer majestic seafood platters and phenomenal pastries; all served in an electric ambience, to the beats of our guest DJ’s - This is not your Grand Father’s steakhouse!
Etc. is described across the reviews as a consistently polished steakhouse experience with attentive, professional service and a warm, elegant atmosphere that makes it ideal for date nights and celebrations; the food is repeatedly praised for being delicious and well cooked, with standout steaks such as ribeye, filet mignon and wagyu, as well as seafood options and well presented starters; sides like mashed potatoes and bruschetta are noted as flavorful and generous, and the wine list and sommelier guidance are frequently highlighted; guests also appreciate the no tax policy as a bonus and often remark on generous portions and good value for the quality; the casino setting is mentioned as contributing to a lively environment with occasional noise, which some find energizing and others wish could be quieter; while a few critiques point to moments of pacing being too fast or slow or specific dishes not meeting expectations, overall the sentiment is highly favorable with many indicating they would return and recommend ETC to others for reliable high quality and memorable service.
What do say to someone who tells you that'if you've been one steakhouse, you've been to pretty much all'? Well, without hesitation you may want to tell them about a literal treasure tucked neatly in the corner on the second floor of the brand new wing of Playground. It's called ETC. & it brings the notions of elegance, trend, class, & pure taste together as one. Yes! A steakhouse is just that....A great place for steak! ...& yes! ETC checks this box neatly, bringing various choice cuts of meats (from dry aged to Wagyu marbling, to tender traditionals) to life. However, This is where the fun part of the review begins. The part that differentiates ETC from other big name steakhouses that this city has to offer. My compliments to Chef Hisham for innovating a menu that is simple yet divine in gastronomic appeal. Signature dishes include the likes of Grilled Cheese Bruschetta, Caesar Salad unlike any you've tasted, thick cut candied bacon, seared foie gras, & a dessert menu that will tug at all your senses (ask for the tiramisu stare in amazement as it is being served). ETC brandishes dishes that range from the sublime to the insanely imaginative. However, the reason I was truly inspired to write this review was when my incredible bartender Sabrina suggested something "out of the box". Next thing you know, I order up the DEMI CHICKEN. To say I was pleasantly surprised is a complete understatement. This chicken recipe is something EVERYONE should try once. It's decadence lies in the manner its cooked, spiced to perfection with an addictive crispy char, & a succulent juicy tenderness (See Photo). Complimented by a Mediterranean garlic-lime-cilantro based yogurt that will have you licking the plate. I was so stoked at how delicious my meal was, I couldn't wait to share it with you. The kicker is this steakhouse is reasonable in price (& even more reasonable without taxes). You're not just in for a treat at ETC, you are in for an experience.
I've been wanting to try this place out for the last while. I contacted Talia through social media & she managed to book me a table with less than 24 hour notice! The place was fully booked. The food was delicious. The décor is classy & modern. The service was top tier, knowledgeable staff & not trying to upsell, just straight up good service. Steak was cooked to perfection, the seafood tower was extremely fresh & tasty, the sides are delicious & dessert was awesome! We will be back.
This was a overall 10/10 experience starting from the service we received from Kayla Palmieri, she helped us from the beginning showing us around the casino & bringing us to the restaurant. The server was very welcoming & informative & made great recommendations. We will definitely be coming back with friends & family!
Great job, staters & main were fantastic, the deconstructed TIRAMISU was lacking in appearance but okay overall. The wait staff was attentive & the bar was competent. Great evening out.

Had an amazing time , the staff is awesome , the food is incredible , definitely my new favourite place to go ! There's also a shisha lounge & a cigar lounge , you will absolutely have a great night ! ♥️
My filet mignon & vegetables were cooked perfectly, & the deconstructed cheesecake was delicious. Prices are very reasonable for the quality. Will definitely be back. next time however i will asked to be seated anywhere other than in the middle of the restaurant as I felt we were in the way,
magnifique restaurant! très bonne ambiance, notre serveur robert a fait un excellent service un gros merci à lui & que dire de la nourriture excellent sans mot
Food was just ok. The plates come with 2 tomatoes & a pepper. Side dishes are separate (fries, mash or other). The calamari was very good, nothing out of the ordinary. Well seasoned flour & soft squid. The lamb chops were a bit over cooked but well seasoned. The steaks were also a bit more overcooked than we asked but well seasoned. Overall this place was ok; nothing I would end up craving or wanting to go back for (we actually got a slight acid reflux after eating there). It cost us 226$ for 3 people with 3 main dishes with 3 sides. You MUST take a side, otherwise the meal is incomplete & not satiable. You'll be hungry without a side.
