About the restaurant

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 lunch, happy hour, dinner and late-night!

My experience was good. The restaurant is so beautiful with amazing and friendly workers. The only downside was that I had really high expectations for my steak, with it being a steak house My steak was just okay if I’m being honest. But I’ll definitely go back.

The restaurant was beautifully decorated with a floral theme. I went as a group of 9 for a Bachelorette brunch and the staff were extremely accommodating and friendly. They helped contribute to a beautiful day and the food was also really good. They accommodated for a vegan, someone with allergies and some who was gluten free! It's located in a convenient place, and the prices were reasonable for the food quality. The venue itself was very clean and spacious. The drinks were really good and the signature lavender themed items were all super delicious. The theme of our party was brunch so I only had from that menu, but the dinner menu looked so good that I will definitely be going back to try it out. Highly recommend for anyone wanting a good ight with a good atmosphere. Not to mention the complimentary mimosas were absolutely delicious.
