De nombreux clients soulignent l'atmosphère vibrante et le service professionnel et attentionné qui rendent chaque visite mémorable. Bien que la majorité des convives vivent une expérience fantastique et souhaitent revenir, certains notent que le niveau sonore peut être élevé et que l'espace entre les tables peut sembler restreint lors des périodes d'affluence. Quelques irrégularités occasionnelles dans la rapidité du service et la préparation des plats ont été signalées, mais la direction est reconnue pour son écoute et son dévouement à assurer la satisfaction de la clientèle.
Absolutely enjoyed my evening at Restaurant Grinder! The NY strip was perfectly cooked, & the fried Brussel sprouts was perfect pairing. The pouding chômeur is one of the best I've had in Montreal.
Shout out to Alejandro who really made our evening special. Thank you!
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.
Went with a large group last weekend, Jacob was our server & did a great job with helping us celebrate our friend's birthday. It was a busy night but the flow of the night was perfect, shared the surf & turf platter. Food was really tasty, scallops were a tad small but made up for it in flavour. Steak was super tender & perfectly cooked. Would go back.

Had an absolutely wonderful dining experience here! The atmosphere was warm & welcoming from the moment we walked in. Our server was attentive & knowledgeable about the menu, offering great recommendations. The food was exceptional - fresh ingredients, perfectly seasoned, & beautifully presented. Every dish we tried was bursting with flavor. The portions were generous & well worth the price. The restaurant was clean & well-maintained, & despite being busy, we didn't feel rushed. The dessert was the perfect ending to our meal. We'll definitely be returning soon & would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a great meal & excellent service. Five stars!
On Valentine's Day, we reserved a table for two at Grinder for our first visit - & it truly exceeded our expectations.
When we arrived, a very kind gentleman named Etienne welcomed us warmly & showed us to our table. Shortly after, our waiter Devin took care of us with such professionalism & genuine kindness. The atmosphere was vibrant yet romantic - perfect for a special evening.
We started with the Wagyu beef carpaccio & fried calamari, both absolutely delicious & beautifully presented. For our main course, we originally ordered the 40 oz Côte de Boeuf to share. After our appetizers, Etienne kindly informed us that they had unfortunately run out of it & offered two 20 oz New York style steaks instead. We agreed, & the way he handled the situation was incredibly thoughtful & professional.
To make up for the inconvenience, Etienne generously offered us complimentary cocktails. He even came back to confirm our drinks & surprised us with three cocktails, personally joining us for a cheerful toast & wishing my boyfriend a happy birthday. That personal touch made the night so special.
Our steaks were outstanding - perfectly cooked & full of flavor. To end the evening, they brought us a dessert with ice cream on the house for my boyfriend's birthday, which was such a sweet gesture.
Everything from the service to the food & atmosphere was exceptional. A huge thank you to Etienne & Devin for making our night so memorable. We highly recommend Grinder & will definitely be back!
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!
Firstly the caesar salad was one of the best I've had at any restaurant, period. Beautifully dressed, crunchy croutons, amazingly prepared bacon & fresh greens.
We then split a NY Striploin & it was juicy. Cooked perfectly medium-rare. A fantastic cut. The accoutrements being the cherry on top. The fries were delicious & hand cut.
The cheesecake & caramel cake were both devine, a strong finish to an already stellar meal.
We thoroughly enjoyed the level of service we received & atmosphere in the restaurant. I'm big on cozy, moody lighting which this venue certainly has.
⭐?⭐?⭐?⭐?⭐?
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.
We had a great dinner experience at Grinder last week. We were a party of 8 people so, it was nice to be able to get a reservation just a few days in advance. We sat by the kitchen & it was mesmerizing seeing the staff putting out so much food all night. We ordered an assortment of drinks & dishes, & everything was perfectly cooked & delicious. The staff were friendly & helpful. Even though it was a busy night the service was very good.
I came last week & the service & food were amazing. I had the ribeye & it was perfectly done. My server Julia was attentive & made us feel extremely welcome & taken care of. Would recommend.
