Info & Location
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.

Service & Food is 5 Star, the steak is the highlight the show. Scallops & shrimp are great as well. Lobster needs some work. Friendly staff & nice ambienceView more

I know the truth, I am but a plebeian Peasent, while I have done well tilling the meagar land given to me by my sovereign leaders, I have not yet risen to the station of being permitted to attend the the fine establishments where our overlords frequent. Attending this place, however, is like stumbing upon a crumb that has fallen from our masters table, a gem that had slipped from the treasure trove & not yet been noticed by the powers that be. For one as myself this was an experience that my descendants will treasure in the collective memories for generations! My infiltration was difficult, & I suspect they are on to me. The first test, one of literacy was easy, despite my hesitation. They had an arrow at what appeared to be the entrance pointing to the left, above it it said "Entrance". Following this arrow led me down a long dark hallway which increased my concern I would be found out, while also invoking feelings of exclusivity & high status. Thankfully we were greeted by a jewel of a hostess asking us for our reservation with a magical smile, before my nerves gave out. Upon sitting down I made my first blunder, the waiter, Diego, said "Flat water or sparkling?" Not expecting this test I yet rose to occasion & said "Peirrior or Club soda bubbly?" To this the waiter looked at me with confusion & said "S.Pellegrino sir." I then realized my blunder: only peasents like myself drink club soda when pretending to be fancy. The waitress, Mary, who came after, however, did not have a chance to receive the notification of my mistake, so suspected nothing. The menu was a treasure trove of incredible eats & foods that were foreign to my humble palette. While there was a distinct lack of pictures in the menu (thankfully my grade 3 teacher had taught me the animal & plant words) they had everything from Lobster Spaghetti to AAA ALBERTA BEEF BLACK ANGUS GROWN STRAIGHT FROM THE GROUND WITH THE FINEST HERBS & SPICES. However they had an option for shared whole table variety! My fellow co-consipators & I chose that option. They saved me from literacy blunder by pointing out that the price on the menu was per person, not per table. Words are hard & tricky inventions of wizards & accountants to keep the common man down The food was incredible, a flavor adventure of imagination & food sorecery if the highest level. Appetizers were divine drops of dews from the heavens, oysters arranged in a circle ready for us to consume them the way our overlords consume our labor, & a green sauce that might be made of avocado & olive oil, two fruits from two diffenent parts of the world coming together in a collision that was not available without the pirate extermination of 1952. & Millenials loving avocado toast. Dam Millenials always miss the true combinations. Avocados pair better with olive oil than toast. Finally the dessert did us in. We all lost our composure & fought like animals over the delight before us! At this point the waitress said "your reservation time is over sir" to which point I looked at the wonderful decor, reminiscent of a luxury pub from the industrial revolution, with a saltwater tank, & electricity, & modern day people. & RAN- To pay of course. Oh & the Baked octopus was my favorite. Don't steal it from my plate Shanel.View more

Nous avons été accueillis au Grinder par une hôtesse chaleureuse, qui nous a immédiatement mis à l'aise. En moins d'une minute, nous étions déjà à notre table, où Léa, notre serveuse, nous attendait. Elle s'est révélée être la meilleure serveuse que j'aie jamais rencontrée. Dès notre arrivée, elle nous a demandé d'où nous venions & a engagé la conversation, ce qui a rendu l'expérience encore plus agréable. Je sais que ce type d'établissement a des normes de service à respecter, mais Léa a su aller au-delà. Elle nous a aidés à choisir nos plats avec des suggestions excellentes & personnalisées. Après le service, elle est venue à notre table plusieurs fois pour s'assurer que tout était à notre goût. Son attention & son sourire constant ont vraiment fait la différence. Nous lui avons également demandé des recommandations pour des speakeasies, & elle s'est engagée à revenir avec une liste d'adresses. Quinze minutes plus tard, elle était de retour avec un papier contenant plusieurs options à explorer. En guise de conclusion, avant de partir, elle nous a offert des shots (hot shots), une attention délicate. En résumé, le service était exceptionnel, l'ambiance chaleureuse & cosy. Le personnel a fait preuve d'un professionnalisme exemplaire, mais ce qui a véritablement élevé notre expérience, c'est Léa. Sa gentillesse, son sourire & son dévouement nous ont offert le meilleur service qu'une serveuse puisse offrir.View more

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!View more

Dining at this Montreal restaurant was nothing short of an unforgettable experience. Specializing in both raw & cooked meats, along with exquisite seafood meant for sharing, every dish was a celebration of flavor & freshness. Complementing the meal was an impressive selection of boutique wines, & our lovely bottle paired perfectly with each course. The cocktails, too, were expertly crafted, adding another layer of sophistication to the evening. What truly stood out was the exceptional service-Montreal restaurants really know how to create a world-class dining experience. We had a variety of servers attending to us, each more passionate & eager to please than the next. Unlike the more reserved, sometimes disconnected service we've experienced in Toronto, this team worked seamlessly together, always happy to assist one another. It was refreshing to feel so genuinely welcomed & cared for. The ambiance, especially on the urban patio beneath the canopy, was perfect for lingering over our meal, & not once did we feel rushed or pressured to leave. This was an evening of leisurely dining, savoring each moment & every dish, making for a truly memorable night out. Reservations are a must, as this is an experience you won't want to miss.View more
