Kicked off the night at Grinder with a dozen fresh oysters-clean, briny, & the perfect start. For the main event, the rib steak for two didn't disappoint-juicy, flavorful, & beautifully cooked. The mashed potatoes & mushrooms on the side were rich & comforting without stealing the spotlight. It was a quiet night, which made it ideal for a business meeting-great ambiance, professional service, & just the right balance between upscale & relaxed. Solid choice for both steak lovers & those looking to talk business over a great meal.View more

Grinder Restaurant in Montreal is a lively & popular spot known for its vibrant atmosphere, great music, & stylish industrial-chic decor. The place was packed on a Friday night, creating a loud but energetic vibe. Despite the crowd, the hostess was accommodating & seated us at the bar, though service remained slow.
We ordered the 40 oz rib steak for two ($120), cooked to a perfect medium-rare but lacking in seasoning (salt). Fortunately, several sauces accompanied the dish, adding some extra flavor. The fries were excellent-crispy, well-seasoned, & addictive. We also tried the pomme de terre aligot, which was supposed to be a rich blend of purée, crème, & aged cheddar, but it didn't have a noticeable cheesy taste, which was disappointing. On the bright side, the mocktail was refreshing & well-balanced.
Overall, Grinder is a solid choice for steak lovers looking for a trendy, high-energy dining experience, but be prepared for a noisy atmosphere & potentially slow service during peak hours.
Le restaurant Grinder à Montréal est un endroit animé & prisé, connu pour son ambiance vibrante, sa bonne musique & son décor industriel chic. L'endroit était bondé un vendredi soir, créant une atmosphère bruyante mais énergique. Malgré l'affluence, l'hôtesse a été accueillante & nous a installés au bar, bien que le service soit resté lent.
Nous avons commandé une côte de boeuf de 40 oz pour deux (120 $), cuit à la perfection en cuisson médium-saignant, mais manquant d'assaisonnement (sel). Heureusement, plusieurs sauces accompagnaient le plat, ajoutant un peu de saveur. Les frites étaient excellentes-croustillantes, bien assaisonnées & très savoureuses. Nous avons également essayé la pomme de terre aligot, censée être un mélange gourmand de purée, crème & cheddar vieilli, mais le goût du fromage était à peine perceptible, ce qui était décevant. En revanche, le mocktail était rafraîchissant & bien équilibré.
Dans l'ensemble, Grinder est une bonne place pour les amateurs de steak à la recherche d'une expérience culinaire tendance & dynamique, mais préparez-vous à une ambiance bruyante & à un service potentiellement lent aux heures de pointe.View more

J'ai réservé pour 14 personnes pour un bachelor party. Nous avions seulement 1h40 pour manger dans notre horaire & ils ont réussi a nous donner un incroyable service tout en étant assez efficace pour qu'on soit dans les temps. Les 14 ont adoré leur plat, l'ambiance & le service. Je recommande fortement!View more

It felt warm & cozy in the middle following a snow storm. The food was excellent & I'd definately go back to try the sharing plate. A little more light would be nice (to read the menus) but that may be my old eyes. I had steak tartare & scallops & no regrets!View more

Je suis allé au Restaurant Grinder à Montréal, & voici mon avis sur l'expérience :
Ambiance & décor
Dès l'entrée, on est frappé par le design moderne & industriel du lieu. L'éclairage tamisé, les murs en briques & le mobilier élégant créent une atmosphère chic & chaleureuse. C'est un endroit animé, parfait pour une soirée entre amis ou un repas en tête-à-tête, mais il peut être assez bruyant aux heures de pointe.
Service
Le service était professionnel & efficace. Les serveurs étaient attentifs & connaissaient bien la carte. Il y avait un peu d'attente pour les plats, mais rien d'excessif, surtout compte tenu de l'affluence.
Nourriture
Le restaurant est spécialisé dans les viandes & les fruits de mer. J'ai goûté :
Le tartare de boeuf : frais, bien assaisonné, avec une belle texture.
Le filet mignon : cuisson parfaite, viande tendre & juteuse.
Les pétoncles poêlés : un vrai régal, avec une belle touche d'accompagnement.
Les portions sont généreuses, & la qualité des produits est indéniable.
Prix
Les prix sont plutôt élevés, mais justifiés par la qualité des plats & l'expérience globale.
Verdict
Si vous aimez les viandes & les fruits de mer & que vous cherchez une adresse branchée à Montréal, Grinder est un excellent choix. Pensez à réserver à l'avance, surtout le week-end !View more

My son chose this place for his 17th birthday & I am glad that he did. The food was delicious. I liked the complimentary dessert. Jacob, our server was top notch. I was thrilled that he gave us a wine tasting even for ordering just one glass of wine. This was one of the better meals I've had at a restaurant.View more
