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!

    From the welcome to the departure, the evening was perfect. It was my wife’s birthday and they treated her with aplomb. The steaks were cooked exactly how we ordered and the accompaniments were very tasty. Kate was our server and she had perfect timing when checking in on we were doing. They gave my wife a lovely card too. We will certainly be back. Thank you Chop. You’ve nailed it.
