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!

    We had dinner for six and couldn’t have had a better time, better service or better meal(s). Bekta and his teams seem to have achieved mastery here - there were so many team members serving the guests that it seemed there was always someone nearby to make eye contact and come over to help us. The food was prepared so well that we were able to relax about judging if we ordered the right meal - every meal seemed to set the standard for how it should be done. And the ambiance was perfect for a birthday celebration. I wish I could remember our server’s name - she knew the menu so very well and had a great sense of humor. Thank you!
