Une véritable pépite gastronomique à Montréal, le Restaurant Grinder allie raffinement, ambiance chaleureuse & service irréprochable. Dès l'entrée, l'atmosphère élégante mais décontractée donne le ton. Le personnel est attentionné, professionnel & parfaitement à l'écoute, ajoutant une touche personnalisée à chaque visite.

Côté assiette, c'est un sans-faute : des viandes d'une qualité exceptionnelle, parfaitement maîtrisées, des accompagnements savoureux & créatifs, & une carte des vins soigneusement sélectionnée. Mention spéciale pour le tartare de boeuf & le steak tomahawk, des incontournables à chaque passage.

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!

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.

We had a boys night. Amazing service at the little bar by Lee-Ann. We got the carpaccio & the oysters. Steak as a mean course. Good vibes- quick service - amazing waitress. We really recommend

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.

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!

Firstly, shoutout to Jake for being an amazing server. This guy was on point from start to finish & really made our night, he works hard & remembers details, great hospitality. The vibes here were awesome, the appetizers was really good, the cocktails were amazing… unfortunately they fell short on the meat. The Wagyu was chewy like a tire, cut way too think & the tomahawks were not good. We'd come back here but we'd probably avoid the steaks, everything else truly was awesome. Jake you're the man!

Grinder is a must. We came to celebrate a milestone birthday & had the perfect evening!
The atmosphere was perfect - great buzz & ambiance & love the decor.
The service was amazing - very attentive, accommodating, staff was friendly, guided us through some menu questions, & did everything with a beautiful smile. We asked to move tables (we were close to a heat lamp & wanted a bit more space). It was a bustling Friday night, but they made it happen & were so nice & accommodating. The manager checked on us several times throughout the meal to make sure things were good.
Oh, & the FOOD! The Food. Everything was so delicious. There are no wrong choices on this menu! We shared the Hamachi Sashimi & Calamari to start, & steaks (NY Strip & Hanger) for our mains. Portion sizes were perfect, steak cooked to perfection & flavours were on point.
The sweet potato fries are some of the best I've ever tasted & the green beans were perfectly cooked in a zesty chili lemon dressing that was the perfect balance of tang & heat.
Our server surprised us with an amazing complimentary birthday pudding a la mode. There is nothing that could have been improved.
Special shout out to the manager & our server (D) who made our birthday celebration so fun & memorable. Will definitely be back!

We took surf & turf & it was delicious. Steak & shrimps were perfectly juicy but the lobster was little dry. I wouldn’t recommend the lobster. But rest of the food was amazing.

C'est coûteux, mais ça vaut le prix! Le steak rib eye était INCROYABLE! Il était servi avec 5 sauces & des frites, la cuisson était PARFAITE! & que dire des boulettes végétaliennes & du pouding chômeur! Le service d'Alejandro était impeccable & professionnel! Souper mémorable! Bravo!
