Grinder

Griffintown’s Grinder, the latest spot from the owner of Buvette Chez Simone, is nearly always packed with sexy young things mingling on the shaded terrace or in the industrial dining room. The interior is nearly all wood, accented by the occasional black lacquered fixture creating a sleek, modern vibe that pairs well with the innovative menu. Diners build a meal from the raw menu, featuring a bevy of carpaccios, tatakis and tartares, and the cooked menu, which offers everything from tandoori halibut to a tender rib eye steak.
