Grinder Montreal Restaurant: Menu, Reviews & Reserve (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.

Review Summary

Reviews consistently praise Grinder for high quality steaks, seafood, and flavorful dishes, with many mentions of memorable experiences, generous portions, and a chic, energetic atmosphere that suits celebrations; however, service quality varies, occasional delays or forgetfulness occur, some dishes and sides receive mixed feedback, and the noise level or crowding can be a drawback during busy times.

Une expérience exceptionnelle au restaurant Grinder ! Le Tomahawk était tout simplement parfait : une cuisson maîtrisée à la perfection, tendre & savoureux à souhait. Le service était irréprochable, avec une équipe attentionnée & professionnelle. L'ambiance du restaurant est chic & conviviale, idéale pour une soirée réussie. Je recommande vivement ce plat pour les amateurs de viande de qualité. Une vraie découverte culinaire, j'y reviendrai sans hésiter !

The atmosphere was really good. I mean really, really good. The food was also good. The steak cut was not absolutely perfect to my liking, which is a shame given that this is a butchery in the first place, then a restaurant. The price is premium. But that is expected for this level of food, service & atmosphere. We had a free valet parking. I am not sure, however, if this is something offered by the restaurant or it was provided by the organizers of our event.

Sincèrement le pire service reçu. Aucun suivi, aucune vérification, nos plats n'étaient pas conformes, steaks beaucoup trop cuit, mais nous n'avons pas été en mesure d'aviser par manque de présence de cette serveuse. La nourriture était bonne mais le manque de service à la clientèle ont ruiné l'expérience. Un grand merci à la serveuse Pénélope, nous n'étions même pas dans sa section & elle a prit la chance de nous servir quand ils nous manquaient des choses importantes. Elle a su rattraper un peu le coup mais tout de même important de souligner que pour le prix, expérience service à la clientèle plus que ordinaire. Je vous souhaite mieux si vous l'essayer.

I'm so glad I stumbled upon this gem! The cozy atmosphere is perfect for a night out, & the staff are incredibly friendly & welcoming. The food Absolutely divine! I tried the New York steak, & it literally melted in my mouth , it was that tender & flavorful! But what really took my experience to the next level was the free valet parking. No more stressing about finding a spot on Notre Dame Street! It's little touches like that which make this place truly stand out. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a top-notch dining experience. Five stars, hands down!

I was told about this place, & I'm so happy I took the chance to go, the waitress was called Danaelle. A beautiful blonde girl so sweet, sweeter than any dessert they have. She was so caring. She is really good & we had such a good time there. I miss it already I'll be back soon for sure. It's now my favourite place in mtl. Thanks to Danaelle for that. Words can't describe so you should see for yourself! Enjoy

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.
