Grinder has been a Griffintown mainstay since 2012, where premium cuts of meat meet an atmosphere that leans industrial-luxe. Designed by Zébulon Perron, the space balances vintage textures with modern touches, creating a maze of dining rooms that feel both intimate and immersive. The kitchen focuses on high-quality meats, both raw and cooked, with a menu spanning from classic filet mignon to lesser-seen cuts like onglet and chateaubriand. Grinder’s in-house butcher shop ensures top-tier sourcing, while the raw bar adds a seafood counterpoint to the carnivorous spread. The wine list is equally serious, designed to match the depth of flavour coming off the grill. With a crowd that skews stylish and a terrasse that holds its own in the summer, Grinder is about making an event out of dining.
