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.

First & last visit. The place looks upscale, but the experience didn't live up to the hype. For a bill of $253 for two, we were served a single small steak, a bit of salad, two mojitos - & yes, I had to pay extra for the fries.
At that price point, the portions should be generous, & basics like fries shouldn't come as an add-on. It felt more like we paid for the presentation than the food.
Disappointing overall. Montreal has many restaurants that deliver far better value & satisfaction for half the price.

Excellent atmosphere & even better food! The tomahawk steak for two came with 4 different sauces so you can choose the one that suits your palate.

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 !

Pour y avoir mangé hier soir : une formidable expérience avec une viande excellente, un dessert fameux, un service parfait, que ce soit la serveuse ou bien le gérant qui est un très bon conseiller pour le vin (la carte des vins est très fournie) & qui est très professionnel, une ambiance au top, bref un restaurant incontournable pour qui souhaite passer une très bonne soirée tout en se régalant les papilles gustatives !

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

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!
