Overall, Grenade receives strong praise for inventive cocktails, tasty tapas style dishes, and a welcoming service that shines on the terrace and during events, with many noting a warm, lively atmosphere that can range from buzzing to relaxed depending on the day; the menu and drinks attract repeat visits and favorites like the Fraise TukTuk, while the ambiance and staff are frequently highlighted as standout features. Some visits mention occasional drawbacks such as noise, stock shortages, a kitchen being closed for major events, or dishes arriving not as hot as expected, and a few experiences describe slower water refills or colder dishes, yet the majority view the venue as a top spot in Montreal for drinks before a show or for social meals, describing it as fun, stylish, and consistently friendly.
Un superbe endroit que j'ai découvert par hasard! Un service vraiment au top Une belle décoration & ambiance Une cuisine savoureuse & généreuse Attention toutefois je trouve que pour son prix les pains n'ai sont quand même cher. Cela nécessiterait un troisième pain. Notamment ceux à la viande qui sont moins fournis que ceux au tofu

I was unfortunately very underwhelmed by Grenade. My partner & I recently moved nearby, & were excited to try what looked to be a flourishing, great establishment. Let's start with the service: Prefaced by saying that it was not very busy at all (4 to 5 other tables). We were taken to a table & left for quite some time. We sat for maybe 10-15 minutes with no water or menu provided. Once we did finally order & receive our cocktails, they were... off. I ordered their Tokyo Kin which tasted like a watered down lemonade & you cannot convince me there was even a drop of alcohol in that glass. My partner ordered their espresso martini dupe, which was very underwhelming as well. Our food was fine, nothing grand. The presentation was lovely, however, $5 for 3 pieces of shrimp was a joke. Small portions, lack of flavor, & extreme prices made for a very unpleasant dining experience. If not an already frustrating experience, we then went to find our server so we could pay & finally leave. Upon walking to the bar we saw them eating & lounging on their phones. This was a very unpleasant experience & the bill being nearly $90 was laughable for what we received. I would recommend looking into other restaurants in the area unless you are wanting to have a terribly underwhelming experience.
Délicieuse nourriture. C'est très goûteux, nous avons tous été enchanté par nos plats ou nos cocktails. Très agréable pour le 5 à 7 à l'extérieur. Mon coup de coeur a été le thon rouge
Came here for a birthday & was greeted poorly by our waitress who looked annoyed. The food looked good on paper but the porc in the bao was hard & cold, the takoyaki were more like croquettes & the tartare tasted very blend. Though the cocktails were very good & the general atmosphere is very cute with the outside garden terrace.
Superbe accueil par le gérant & l'équipe en cuisine pour un grand groupe/événement privé pour la sortie du film 1995 de Ricardo Trogi! Nous avons eu accès à l'espace complet & nous allons vouloir revenir très bientôt. Que de bons commentaires sur le lieu, les terrasses, l'espace bar intérieur & la nourriture! Merci!
Superbe bar de quartier centre sud & sur la rue Ontario ... Dommage que la terrasse ne soit ouvert que l'été cAr c'est vraiment le plus de cette place & aussi les soirées organisées les fun de semaines
The place looks a bit odd from the outside but when you walk, it is a totally different story. You'll be transported in A European setting, especially if you go on the rear patio. The food is finger style & absolutely exquisite. Even the simplest poutine is a visual treat. The taste, oh my god. & the rest of the plates are amazing. We've gone there several times already & can't wait to go back. Cheers to you guys Grenade team.
Pet peave: 2 couples ordering tapas to share. They arrive with 3 on each plate. Message to server & / or kitchen. Offer 4 at 30 % higher price. Let the customers make the choice. Tapas were great! Just hated fighting over them.
