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.

Nice restaurant in the Ville-Marie neighborhood of Montreal. The steaks & burgers are great & all the sides were amazing. I had the Chimichurri skirt steak & it was moist & tender. The Chimichurri was very fresh & maybe could have used a little more time for the flavor to develop. The wine selection was great & reasonably priced. The servers were very busy & we did some waiting but they were very professional & friendly. We were seated quickly at a four-top but were crowded by a large table next to us & I was repeatedly bumped during dinner which was frustrating. We were in the open air seating area which was delightful but it could maybe use one less table.

This was our first visit. The beef short ribs were to die for. I would definitely return just to have them again.

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

The food is very good at grinder & I would recommend it only for the food, the service from our waiter was non existent on the other hand. Took forever to place our order & our waiter was no where to be found the whole time we were there! First there was an appetizer that was completely forgotten about & never brought out after that 2 other drinks that were ordered were forgotten about we had to ask again for the drinks & waiter said oh to be honest I forgot to punch them in like THANKS, later we received our bills, where was our waiter when we were ready to pay? Oh at the bar having a good time taking shots not noticing that we were all ready to pay & leave ! Very unenjoyable experience when you have a server like ours.

Beau restaurant ! Notre visite était Mercredi soir. Pour commencer, on s'est fait accueillir par une très très belle femme souriante & adorable aux beaux cheveux bouclés qui nous a montré notre très jolie table, difficile de refuser. Ensuite, l'ambiance & la nourriture étaient impeccables & le service incroyable! Notre serveur était merveilleux, toujours présent, attentif & très bien renseigné. Le serveur avait une apparence impeccable & une attitude très professionnelle qui a vraiment amélioré notre expérience. Le dessert était délicieux, excellent restaurant. La musique était parfaite, pas trop forte ni trop basse. Je recommande fortement!

Surf & turf platter (for 2) is pricey but very good! It comes with two sides - I recommend the Brussel sprouts & the mushrooms. The NY steak was cooked perfectly & scallops were perfect.

The best stake house in the city & arguably one of the best restaurants overall. Service is fantastic & food is always delicious. You can't go wrong with any of their appetizers. I've been a customer for years. They know what their doing.

Impeccable food quality & service, I wish the place could be less busy, kinda had to shout through the night on a busy summer night. We ordered the $89/person steak,scallop, shrimp & lobster platter, something like this in toronto will cost at least 1.5 times, huge portion for 3 people. We barely finish the plate. Had a great time!

The atmosphere was great, slightly loud because of the amount of people though. Originally, my New York strip steak was slightly overcooked (asked for a medium rare & got medium well done) but it was instantly recooked by the chef at no extra cost & all our food tasted great. Would recommend the NYS steak & the filet mignon.We visited for a birthday & the friendly staff provided us with a complimentary birthday dessert, at the end of our meal, made with maple syrup which was insanely good. One thing you should note is definitely take a reservation in advance if you plan to come with groups as the place does get quite busy. More on the expensive side but totally worth it.
