Grinder is the Resto we reserve for special occasions. Great oysters, perfectly cooked steak & fish, & friendly smiling staff. Seems like the go-to destination for the beautiful 30-somethings, lucky they let us in :) Highly recommended!

Came for the meat. Stayed for the experience. Left emotionally attached.

Restaurant Grinder absolutely delivers: top-tier cuts, perfectly cooked, generous portions, & an atmosphere that makes you feel like you're in a stylish carnivore sanctuary. Every bite was a reminder that cows did not sacrifice themselves in vain.

Now let's talk about Alejandro. Not a manager - THE manager. This man runs the place like a Michelin-starred spaceship. Friendly, sharp, genuinely cares, & somehow everywhere at once. If customer service had a Hall of Fame (or a universe), Alejandro would be the first inductee, president, & honorary supreme leader. Top-notch manager. Top-notch human. Possibly not even human. Legend status.

If you like great food, good vibes, & being treated like royalty without wearing a crown, this is the place. Highly recommend. Will be back. Probably too often.

WOW! Alejandro was absolutely fantastic! You HAVE to request him if you go to eat here. He made our experience so perfect! We both ordered steaks that were cooked to perfection. Highly recommend the calamari for an appetizer. Definitely check this place out while in montreal!

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.

We had the absolute pleasure of celebrating our anniversary at Grinder, & it couldn't have been more perfect. From the moment we walked in, we were welcomed with warmth & genuine hospitality.

The food was fantastic-each dish was thoughtfully prepared, beautifully presented, & bursting with flavor. Every bite felt like a celebration in itself.

Our server, Jennifer, was exceptional. She was attentive, friendly, & made us feel truly special throughout the evening. It was clear she genuinely cared about our experience, & she went above & beyond in every way.

What truly touched us was that the team at Grinder remembered it was our anniversary & surprised us with a complimentary dessert to help us celebrate. It's those thoughtful details that really set a restaurant apart.

Grinder is a gem-not only because of the incredible food, but also because of the people who make it such a special place. We can't wait to return.

Highly recommended for any occasion, especially if you're looking to celebrate something meaningful.

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!

This place is an absolute must if you're looking for a fantastic atmosphere, delicious food, & exceptional service. The valet service was a lifesaver-finding parking in Montreal can be a challenge, so it made our visit even smoother. Special shoutout to our server, Benjamin, who guided us effortlessly through the menu & made sure we had everything we needed. We ordered the Tomahawk for three, which came with lobster, shrimp, scallops, & three side dishes. The cheddar mash was incredible-a must-have! The steak was perfectly seasoned, & every bite was full of flavor. I'd happily order it again. Portion-wise, it was just right for two people (or maybe we just have a hearty appetite, haha!). For dessert, we went with Benjamin's recommendation, a Montreal favorite. I don't remember the name, but it was a delightful warm dessert paired with cold ice cream-a perfect combination. To top it all off, we were treated to complimentary espresso shots, a wonderful way to end the meal. Overall, everything was perfect. The service made us feel right at home, & we left with full hearts & full stomachs. Highly recommended!

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 love the Grinder experience. The food is great along with the presentation. The staff is super friendly & very customer service oriented.. they have free valet parking, which makes your life much easier. If you're thinking about trying this, I highly recommend that you do because you'll love it. Not a vegetarian kind of place. It can get very expensive if you decide to have drinks.

By far one of the best filet mignons I've ever had. The staff are all great & very friendly there. If you get there before 6-7 it's more quiet but after 7 it does get quite busy & quite loud on the weekends. Honestly if you're looking for a place that can cook up some solid steak this is your spot. I highly recommend the side creamy/cheesy mash potatoes. Wow!

Amazing ambiance! We ordered fried calamari for starter, New York Strip & Short Ribs steak for main course. Fried calamari was delicious, & I loved the mouthwatering beef short ribs. New York strip was juicy & tasty but I found Short Ribs more tender & the seasoning was absolutely amazing! Our waiter was very friendly & nice. I liked the music too (although it was a bit loud) Highly recommend this place!

An awesome restaurant with excellent customer service ! We made last minute reservations & the staff was super welcoming & kind. We ordered French red wine which was incredible followed by fried calamari for appetizers. For the meal, I had the 1/2 chicken leg while my partner had Bavette de Boeuf & it was so tasty ! We savoured each bite :) The best part was definitely the dessert as we had the pudding chomeur & it's beyond perfection! Highly recommend the food & the restaurant! Located in the trendy Griffintown neighborhood it is a place to bring your friends & enjoy the hospitality of an incredible staff at Le Grinder :) A 11/10 culinary experience for us :)
