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.

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.

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!

I came last week & the service & food were amazing. I had the ribeye & it was perfectly done. My server Julia was attentive & made us feel extremely welcome & taken care of. Would recommend.

Special thanks to our waiter, Arthur, who was extremely polite, attentive, & thoughtful - he truly made our visit extra pleasant. Highly recommend this restaurant!

WOW! Alejandro was absolutely fantastic! You HAVE to request him if you go to eat here. He made our experience so perfect! We both ordered steaks that were cooked to perfection. Highly recommend the calamari for an appetizer. Definitely check this place out while in montreal!

Delicious food overall, it was pricey but fair & the atmosphere was rather rustic in a nice way. The waitress did end up forgetting one of our entrées but in the end we were full so it wasn't so bad. Highly recommend the beef short ribs.

We've been to Grinder twice now, this time for Mother's Day, & both visits were fantastic. The food, service, & atmosphere all hit the mark.
My favourite thing on the menu has to be the Hamachi, so fresh & flavourful. This time around, we ordered the Wagyu carpaccio, Hamachi, French onion soup, steak (which came with a flight of sauces, loved that touch), & the short ribs. For sides, we had the sweet potato fries & mushrooms. The only small letdown was the mushrooms, not because they weren't good, but because they were different from the ones we had the first time, which we absolutely loved. Still tasty though!
Everything was delicious & well-executed. I'd definitely recommend trying this spot.
The last photo is from our first visit, surf & turf platter with those amazing mushrooms I was hoping to have again.

The restaurant has a nice atmosphere & the food was really delicious. The service was also excellent & very professional. However, the noise level was a bit too much, & I wouldn't recommend going there on a hot summer day-there was no proper air conditioning, & it was extremely hot inside. I think this place is great for hanging out with friends, but not suitable for celebrating special occasions.

We had the absolute pleasure of celebrating our anniversary at Grinder, & it couldn't have been more perfect. From the moment we walked in, we were welcomed with warmth & genuine hospitality.
The food was fantastic-each dish was thoughtfully prepared, beautifully presented, & bursting with flavor. Every bite felt like a celebration in itself.
Our server, Jennifer, was exceptional. She was attentive, friendly, & made us feel truly special throughout the evening. It was clear she genuinely cared about our experience, & she went above & beyond in every way.
What truly touched us was that the team at Grinder remembered it was our anniversary & surprised us with a complimentary dessert to help us celebrate. It's those thoughtful details that really set a restaurant apart.
Grinder is a gem-not only because of the incredible food, but also because of the people who make it such a special place. We can't wait to return.
Highly recommended for any occasion, especially if you're looking to celebrate something meaningful.

My family & I enjoyed a night at Grinder yesterday… The hostess gave us the warmest welcome & was so quick on her feet-she had a very positive energy. The food matched its description perfectly-the Surf&turfs, in particular, was absolutely exceptional. To top it off, our waiter kindly offered us dessert, which was just as delightful. I strongly recommend this place.
Jordi
Le service est excellent & la disposition du restaurant fait rêver. Les plats & les sauces sont recherchés. Je recommande fortement ce restaurant. Vous passerez une bonne soirée en groupes.

We were really craving a good steak dinner during our trip to Montreal & came across Grinder on Google as one of the more casual steak spots that still had reservations available. The overall vibe of the restaurant was chic & cozy-definitely a nice atmosphere to enjoy a meal.
We ordered the surf & turf platter for 3, & the tomahawk steak was cooked to absolute perfection-perfectly medium rare & super flavorful. One of the sides we chose was the mushrooms, & they were a standout-highly recommend! The lobster, unfortunately, was a bit of a letdown-it didn't taste very fresh-but the quality of the tomahawks definitely made up for it. The cocktails were also well done & complemented the meal nicely.
The only downside for us was the table setup. The table was quite small for the size of the platter & portions, & with the way it was arranged for three people, it felt a bit awkward & cramped.
Overall, though, it was a solid steak dinner in a great setting. Would come back again, maybe with a bigger group & better table setup!

We had a boys night. Amazing service at the little bar by Lee-Ann. We got the carpaccio & the oysters. Steak as a mean course. Good vibes- quick service - amazing waitress. We really recommend

J'ai réservé pour 14 personnes pour un bachelor party. Nous avions seulement 1h40 pour manger dans notre horaire & ils ont réussi a nous donner un incroyable service tout en étant assez efficace pour qu'on soit dans les temps. Les 14 ont adoré leur plat, l'ambiance & le service. Je recommande fortement!
