Une belle adresse à Montréal, Le Grinder propose une qualité irréprochable de sa cuisine. Dès l'entrée, on est enveloppé par une ambiance chaleureuse, savamment orchestrée entre l'éclairage tamisé, le design industriel raffiné & une touche contemporaine qui confère au lieu un charme singulier.
La carte met en valeur des produits de première fraîcheur, avec une attention particulière portée aux viandes, maturées & préparées avec un savoir-faire qui frôle l'artisanat. Les tartares, véritable signature de la maison, sont exécutés avec justesse & créativité, offrant un équilibre parfait entre finesse & audace. Chaque assiette témoigne d'un souci du détail, tant dans les saveurs que dans la présentation, digne d'une table gastronomique.
Le service, attentif sans jamais être intrusif, contribue à l'expérience en toute fluidité. Le personnel se montre disponible pour conseiller, que ce soit dans le choix des plats ou l'accord avec une carte des vins bien construite, où les classiques côtoient des découvertes plus originales.
En somme, Le Grinder s'impose comme une adresse élégante & conviviale, où l'on conjugue plaisir des sens & art de recevoir. Un lieu parfait pour un dîner raffiné, une soirée entre amis ou une occasion spéciale, où chaque visite laisse l'envie de revenir.

Dined here with a colleague while in town for business. The food was amazing! I had some of the best buratta I've ever had in my life followed by delicious halibut! My co-worker had calamari & tartare which he enjoyed immensely. Great atmosphere as well, it was packed on a Wednesday night!

Updated review :
The owner reached out to my boyfriend to understand what had happened during our first visit. He offered to have us come back for a second time, on the house, to make up for it.
We went back about a month later. We were greeted by Alejandro, the manager, who offered us a first round of drinks - just as good as the first time.
For starters, I had the tuna tartare & my boyfriend went with the fried calamari. Both were very good. For the main course, I had the short ribs (super tender) & he had the NY steak, cooked medium. Everything was solid.
The manager checked in on us without being overbearing, & he wrapped up the meal by offering us their pudding chômeur with soft-serve ice cream. Great dessert.
All in all, a much better experience than the first time. Thanks to the restaurant for taking the time to make things right. It doesn't go unnoticed
----------------
My boyfriend & I were really looking forward to trying this spot, but unfortunately, it was a letdown. We ordered the rib steak for two ($120) & asked for it medium rare.
We placed our order around 10 PM, when things were winding down, but waited at least 45 minutes without any updates. During that time, the waitress didn't check on us once. I eventually flagged her down, & she mentioned the delay was normal due to the size of the steak - fair enough, but a quick update would've gone a long way.
When the food finally arrived 10-15 minutes later, the steak was cold & extremely undercooked - basically raw. I asked to have it cooked a bit more, & surprisingly, the waitress admitted she knew it was undercooked when she brought it out. Her explanation? Their medium rare leans'on the rarer side.' That's not reassuring when you're paying top dollar. The table beside us had also returned their steak, not once but twice.
The steak came back slightly warmer, but still incredibly raw & tough. My boyfriend lost his appetite after a few bites & decided to take it home to finish cooking himself. I ate a little more, but felt like I got robbed of an experience. The sides didn't redeem the dish either - the mushrooms were way too salty & the mashed potatoes tasted like cardboard.
On the other hand, the drinks were very good & enjoyable.
When the bill came, I asked the waitress if it was normal for their steaks to come out like that. She admitted it was undercooked & apologized awkwardly, but no compensation was offered - no discount, no complimentary drink, nothing. For a $120 dish we barely touched, that was incredibly disappointing. After the drinks, our bill was way over 200$
As someone who works in the industry, I'd never serve a dish I knew wasn't right, especially after a long wait. I would have gotten the manager involved the first time the food was returned to the kitchen. It's better to communicate delays than to disappoint with poor food & service. Sadly, this experience missed the mark on both.

Une véritable pépite gastronomique à Montréal, le Restaurant Grinder allie raffinement, ambiance chaleureuse & service irréprochable. Dès l'entrée, l'atmosphère élégante mais décontractée donne le ton. Le personnel est attentionné, professionnel & parfaitement à l'écoute, ajoutant une touche personnalisée à chaque visite.
Côté assiette, c'est un sans-faute : des viandes d'une qualité exceptionnelle, parfaitement maîtrisées, des accompagnements savoureux & créatifs, & une carte des vins soigneusement sélectionnée. Mention spéciale pour le tartare de boeuf & le steak tomahawk, des incontournables à chaque passage.
Le souci du détail, la constance dans l'exécution & l'expérience client hors pair font du Grinder une référence incontournable pour les amateurs de bonne chère. Un restaurant où chaque visite devient une expérience mémorable. Bravo à toute l'équipe !

Great meal, service & atmosphere. Had a ribeye, salmon tartare, with a side of mushrooms all of which were very good.

Je suis allé au Restaurant Grinder à Montréal, & voici mon avis sur l'expérience :
Ambiance & décor
Dès l'entrée, on est frappé par le design moderne & industriel du lieu. L'éclairage tamisé, les murs en briques & le mobilier élégant créent une atmosphère chic & chaleureuse. C'est un endroit animé, parfait pour une soirée entre amis ou un repas en tête-à-tête, mais il peut être assez bruyant aux heures de pointe.
Service
Le service était professionnel & efficace. Les serveurs étaient attentifs & connaissaient bien la carte. Il y avait un peu d'attente pour les plats, mais rien d'excessif, surtout compte tenu de l'affluence.
Nourriture
Le restaurant est spécialisé dans les viandes & les fruits de mer. J'ai goûté :
Le tartare de boeuf : frais, bien assaisonné, avec une belle texture.
Le filet mignon : cuisson parfaite, viande tendre & juteuse.
Les pétoncles poêlés : un vrai régal, avec une belle touche d'accompagnement.
Les portions sont généreuses, & la qualité des produits est indéniable.
Prix
Les prix sont plutôt élevés, mais justifiés par la qualité des plats & l'expérience globale.
Verdict
Si vous aimez les viandes & les fruits de mer & que vous cherchez une adresse branchée à Montréal, Grinder est un excellent choix. Pensez à réserver à l'avance, surtout le week-end !

La cuisson de la côte de boeuf était vraiment pa médium saignant, mais presque bleu & la pièce elle-même était décevante. Tiraille, pas tendre du tout… Qualité extrêmement décevante pour un plats de ce prix. Ceci étant dit, les huîtres, le tartare de thon, la soupe à l'oignon, le saumon, le filet mignon, le burger & les desserts étaient de pures délices.

Honestly the vibe & aesthetic are top notch. I truly felt that I left montreal for a second & got submerged into a different atmosphere. The service was amazing, everyone was timely & on point. Super professional, kind, & lively. The food however, is not the best, comparing it to its competitors, in terms of quality & price. We had the french onion soup, salmon tartare, the hanger steak & the halibut fish plate. Like it was definitely edible & enjoyable, but would I come here again? No. It just wasn't that tasteful nor astonishing. Because there are better options like terrasse Nelligan & The Keg Steakhouse. An overall 7.5/10z

Love this place! We ordered tuna tartare & beef tartare, & they were both amazingly fresh & tasty. Above all, the staff are super friendly & polite.

Celebrated my 40th with 15 friends. At first the waiter seemed aggressively nice, which was off putting...but he softened up & became much more enjoyable. Had the salmon tartare, & the beef bavette. I understand the need for higher price sin trendy restaurants, but the price points were quite dramatic, although the food was quite good. The sweet potato fries were great. Hot summer night, so opting for open windows on the terrace over AC was a bit unfortunate. Would not make a point of going back, but would not say no if invited with friends.

I went to Grinder during Valentine's Day weekend & was quite pleased with my experience. The first thing to notice was the atmosphere that had an open bar in the center, booths to my right, & tables to my left, all under candlelight. Another thing was the music. It was quite loud for me, & I couldn't really hear my partner without having to lean in closer. I wonder if that was done on purpose. The service was amazing. Our server took care of us the entire night & even had the chefs apologize when our appetizer came late. I felt very taken care of, & I felt that they really cared about our experience. The food was phenomenal. We got so many things, including the french onion soup, the salmon tartare, the oysters, & the New York strip with the seasonal vegetables. Every dish was made with care & was absolutely delicious. The sauces that came with the steak brought so much more to the experience, I'm so thankful that they had that. Overall, I'd give it a 9/10, the only point off being how loud the music was. Otherwise, I'd love to go again sometime!

Salmon tartare & calamari was good, the filet minion wasnt a good cut & it was VERY mushy & soft; extra marination?
Esteban
Le tartare de boeuf & les calamars étaient incroyables, ça en vaut le prix.
Elaine
Taste not worth the price. Tuna tartare is not as good as the kegs. Too sour & didn't like it's ginger taste. Colour of avocado looks oxidized. Asked to pack my $40 left over but they threw it out which why leaving a 2 star. We sat at the bar watching the bartenders using bare hand on everything, ice, mint leaves, lime, during the middle of omicron!
David
Excellent tartare de boeuf & vin. La bavette etait bonne mais je sugere le tartare aussi le fondamt au chocolat est excllent. Belle selection de vin. Aussi la purée de patate aligot est top.

Souper tardif sur l'éblouissante terrasse. Végétation, bois & toiles se mélangent, c'est vraiment des plus agréable & confortable.
Musique qui augmente au fil des heures, on s'entend toutefois parler mais on oublie le souper calme & romantique à cette heure-ci.
Service charmant & dynamique, de bons conseils sur les plats comme sur les vins.
Imposante liste de vins, une large gamme de prix bien que peu de choix intéressants sous les 50$.
Un menu varié dans lequel j'opte pour la recommandation du serveur : le Flétan Tandoori. Explosion de saveurs, mélange originale de coucous de chou-fleur,amandes, raisins, yogourt & les herbes de cuisson du flétan. Vient avec le plat un accompagnement, la purée de pommes de terre aligot est renversante. Un régal donc malgré le flétan un chouia trop sec. L'entrée de crevettes grillées avec ses accompagnements fut tout autant délectable & aux milles saveurs. Légère déception sur le tartare de canard & en contre partie une excellente bavette de boeuf.
Facture des plus correcte vu la qualité & les généreuses portions, 100$ pour deux taxes incluses mais sans le vin, avec ça monte à 175$.
Très plaisante soirée, restaurant chaudement recommandé, en particulier en été :).

Un de mes bons amis à moi & moi-même y sommes allés en fin de soirée pour une fringale. Nous avons choixi de séparer un tartare de boeud, qui était succulent. La serveuse du bar nous assure un service rapide & courtois, avec classe. Seul désavantatge: coûteux pour les portions! À réessayer, surtout avec la sélection de vins interminable & très intéressante.
