• Steakhouse • Halifax

Booked 24 times today

Chop was created for people who love sharing, connecting and everything steak. We are proud to offer a menu that shares our commitment to sustainable beef sourcing, serving high-quality cuts of 100% Canadian beef. It isn’t just the meat that’s special – it’s also how we cook it. Our Montague broiler cooks at up to 1800 °F, giving a beautiful crust and flavour to every steak! We slow roast our prime rib in a humidity-controlled oven, keeping it mouth-watering and tender. And we put this level of care into each of our hand-crafted drinks, and from-scratch dishes, including plant-based and seafood options, with something for everyone to enjoy. All of this quality comes with friendly hospitality in warm and energetic rooms. Open for breakfast, happy hour, dinner and late-night!

We came to celebrate our 10 year anniversary and man oh man, was it ever amazing. From the service to the food, everything was incredible. Thoughtful combinations of flavours (raspberry and oysters!? Who knew) and the staff really went out of their way to make us feel special. Laura, you are a GEM, I wish we could’ve stayed all night. Thanks sooooo much for everything
