Grinder Montreal - Menu, Reviews & More January 2026
SteakhouseSeafood/FishFrenchTartareGrillGreat selection of cocktailsGreat selection of winesResto-Bar
Grinder restaurant is located on Notre-Dame street, in the heart of Griffintown. Indeed, this neighborhood located in the southwest of Montreal is dynamic and promising; residential and commercial projects are already underway.

The original decor screams Zébulon Perron (Furco, Buvette à Simone, Philémon). He created a comfortable and warm restaurant, kitchen and raw bar. Grinder characterizes itself by vintage and modern elements such as glass and metal.

On the menu, raw & cooked items: tartares, tatakis, ceviches, carpaccios, etc. Also on the menu, steaks and grilled or braised pieces of meats, all to be shared. Grinder also offers a variety of fish and seafood, served cooked or raw as well. More than a simple steakhouse, all food lovers will find something to their liking among their selection of fresh products.

A 100% of their wine list consists of privately imported wines, always changing with the seasons, and of course focusing on wines produced while respecting nature.

We had a fantastic experience.

Firstly the caesar salad was one of the best I've had at any restaurant, period. Beautifully dressed, crunchy croutons, amazingly prepared bacon & fresh greens.

We then split a NY Striploin & it was juicy. Cooked perfectly medium-rare. A fantastic cut. The accoutrements being the cherry on top. The fries were delicious & hand cut.

The cheesecake & caramel cake were both devine, a strong finish to an already stellar meal.

We thoroughly enjoyed the level of service we received & atmosphere in the restaurant. I'm big on cozy, moody lighting which this venue certainly has.

Flawless. No notes.

Incredible experience. I've been twice & both times I was blown away by the food quality, overall value, & service. I had Sadya as my server & she was impressively attentive & welcoming. The burgers are incredible, but so is everything else we've tried so far. I'll be back soon!

Went there for an immersive concert experience, the music was so loud it felt as though 10 pop concerts were going on around me at the same time. The steak was good, not overcooked & well seasoned. However, the same cannot be said for the side dishes. The mushrooms tasted like straight from the Dead Sea. To make things worse, the service was extremely slow & I was genuinely worried about whether my server had a health emergency because she disappeared for 30min. We attempted to make eye contact with any other server that passed by & by the time we were able to get someone, my neck was strained & I wrote down'massage therapy' as my #1 NY resolution. It took another eternity to get my water cup refilled & I had to refrain from helping myself as the bottle was just on the counter, so close yet so far. If you want to go there just for the food, bring ear plugs!

Came for the meat. Stayed for the experience. Left emotionally attached.

Restaurant Grinder absolutely delivers: top-tier cuts, perfectly cooked, generous portions, & an atmosphere that makes you feel like you're in a stylish carnivore sanctuary. Every bite was a reminder that cows did not sacrifice themselves in vain.

Now let's talk about Alejandro. Not a manager - THE manager. This man runs the place like a Michelin-starred spaceship. Friendly, sharp, genuinely cares, & somehow everywhere at once. If customer service had a Hall of Fame (or a universe), Alejandro would be the first inductee, president, & honorary supreme leader. Top-notch manager. Top-notch human. Possibly not even human. Legend status.

If you like great food, good vibes, & being treated like royalty without wearing a crown, this is the place. Highly recommend. Will be back. Probably too often.

Alejandro is the sweetest manager ever, staff is helpful & despite the busy Saturday evening, service was on spot.
Happy to see that after so many years, they don't disappoint!

We had a great night yesterday! Reservation ran 30 minutes late...that was one of the only negative point...but they made it up with providing us with shots & free dessert platter! Food was amazing! I had a NY steak with mushroom side. Great taste & perfect medium rare steak. Service was great & with attention. They have a dj playing music which was a bit loud, we had trouble hearing when server was speaking or even between us... But overall amazing experience & recommend to others!
