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.

Amazing staff & the most delicious foods. Ambiance is incredible & makes for the best date night, night out with friends, family suppers, birthdays, etc.
Juliana
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.
Sergi
Amazing experience in all senses. Food, attention & ambient were all very nice. The filet mignon I ordered was super tasty, one of the best I ever ate. I will go again in my next visit to the city, for sure. Make sure you book a table, it use to be full!

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 food & customer service was excellent! The reason why Im rating the atmosphere a 2 stars is because the place was infested with flies. One of my colleague almost swallow one while talking.

Des plats incroyables & une équipe sous le feu d'un midi chargé mais avec le sourire, une bienveillance & une sympathie rare!!! 🙏
Merci pour ce délicieux moment 🙏

Food was amazing! We got the platter for 2 it's a great deal at 85$ per person! They have their own butcher. Everything was top shelf! service was ok.

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.

La musique est trop forte, j'ai été inconfortable pendant tout le repas!
Sinon bon service & bonne bouffe
Mais de grâce diminuer un peu la musique c'est pas tout le monde qui est confortable avec ça.

La nourriture était excellente. C'est sur que je vais revenir.

A very loud place . Nice decor , perhaps at lunch it is not so loud & is better to visit.
Long wait for food.

I almost never write reviews, but the experience we had here absolutely deserves recognition. We came in as a large group of 20 for a work dinner, & I still can't wrap my head around how flawless the service was.
Our main server was simply outstanding-somehow managing to make each of us feel like we were his sole focus all evening. Every request was met instantly, & he had an effortless way of anticipating what we'd need before we even asked. His right-hand support person was equally fantastic: water glasses were magically refilled before they ever got close to empty, plates were cleared promptly, & everything just flowed seamlessly.
The food itself was excellent, beautifully prepared & full of flavour. The atmosphere was warm & inviting, perfect for both professional gatherings & special occasions.
If you're considering booking for a group (or honestly any occasion), don't hesitate. This was truly top-notch service that turned a nice meal into a memorable experience.

Food was a solid 10. Atmosphere? On point.
But when it comes to service, the details matter - & unfortunately, that's where things completely fell apart.
I've never seen a server look so lost. It took 45 minutes just to get a bottle of wine, & when it finally arrived, the opening process was awkward & honestly embarrassing.
Drinks & shots were forgotten. Our order wasn't even punched in until 30 minutes after we placed it; only noticed when the server came back to clarify something with a friend.
When you're charging premium prices for food & wine, the level of service has to match. Sadly, it didn't, & it really did ruin what could have been a great night.

Burrata was OK - nothing special & not a lot of flavours
The steak was overly salty & you can't tell it's dry aged.
The waitress was nice but does not give good food recommendations. Servers throughout the meal kept carrying plates & hot food over my head. Near the end of the meal, they took my plate without asking & they constantly tried to kick us out by trying to collect our food without asking whether we were finished.
For the price point, you're better off trying something else.
Amelie
Honnêtement ça faisait longtemps je n'avais pas eu un aussi bon service avec nourriture impeccable. Adam, notre serveur, était à l'écoute, drôle & attentionné. La nourriture & l'ambiance 10/10. L'hôtesse nous a accommodées un samedi soir, sans réservation, nous nous sommes senties privilègiées. Merci pour cette belle experience!
Serge
Toujours une expérience unique. Merci pour le magnifique service.
