A truly outstanding experience. From the delicious tomahawk to the tuna ricecakes, mediterrean salad & lobster tails -- cooked to perfection. Amazing music & vibe made it super fun. Special thanks to our wonderful server, Sadya, who made this a very special night for our son at McGill.

This is our second time & Grinder in Montreal absolutely exceeded expectations. We started with the burrata paired with aubergine cream-perfectly balanced with apple vinegar & chili flakes-& a bluefin tuna tartare that was incredibly fresh with a standout marinanation & sauce.

For mains, everything hit. The 9 oz bavette was cooked beautifully & full of flavor, the Grinder burger was tender & juicy, & the octopus with crispy potatoes was honestly out of this world. Even the sides were memorable-the baby sprouts were insanely good, & the creamy bacon potatoes were just as impressive.

For dessert, I tried pudding chômeur for the first time, & it was unforgettable. The rich buttery texture, combined with the sweet syrup & vanilla ice cream, made it one of the best desserts I've ever had.

The atmosphere really ties it all together: friendly & attentive service, great music, & one of the best IPA beers I've had in Montreal.

At around $80 CAD per person, it's absolutely worth it. I'll be coming back every time I'm in Montreal.
