Review Summary

Grille Nature is widely described as a west island standout that brings downtown quality dining to the neighborhood with a warm, welcoming space, attentive service, and a creative menu that combines bold, adventurous dishes with true classics. The food is repeatedly praised for freshness, ingenuity, and generous portions, and the drinks program and wine list get many compliments, while prices are noted as high for the area. Some reviewers note drawbacks such as occasional noise, pacing delays during busy evenings, and a few dishes that fall short or feel pricey for what is delivered, along with a couple of service or cleanliness hiccups. Overall this restaurant is felt to be a welcome, family-friendly yet refined destination with easy parking and a consistently strong dining experience, inspiring many to return to try more dishes.

Amazing dinner at Grillé Nature. Great restaurant with a fun vibe, delicious food & excellent service. We were a group of five & enjoyed sharing several dishes.

The fresh bread & butter to start was amazing. The Caesar salad was delicious. We loved the Lumache rose pasta . The honey butter rotisserie chicken with fries & salad was a standout, & the NY strip steak was perfectly cooked.

The fries were so good we ordered a second serving.

We finished with a chocolate sundae & sticky toffee pudding for dessert, both fantastic.

The only small note is that the seating could be a bit more comfortable, but it didn't take away from the experience.

Will definitely be back.

We had a reservation for a Wednesday night at 2030. It was busy but not crazy busy. We waited a descent amount of time for our entrees. They were delicious. We had squid & the chicken a la king soup. On a side note, I had asked about the hot avocado but waitress described it poorly. It sounded terrible. Sadly, we waited close to one hour for our main dishes. I think they forgot them under a heat lamp somewhere. When they arrived, they were luke warm. I ordered the baked ribs. The sauce was just off putting & they were very dry & inedible, actually. My friend ordered the chicken. It too was very dry. It also had a chemical tasting sauce on it. We both barely ate. Our waitress did not question this, even when she asked about take away & I said no. My dish was mostly untouched. The whole time we were there, there was a lot of staff but we had to ask for water to be refilled. Not a redo for me.

This place is an absolute hit. The food was spectacular. We tried the half chicken, the steak frites, the calamari & the shrimp tostada. Everyone was raving about how good it was. The french fries that come with the half chicken & steak are some of the best fries i've ever had.

First time trying this restaurant & it won't be our last! Everything was delicious & so nicely presented. Upon entering, you're greeted so warmly & everyone who approached the table once we were seated was so friendly which made the whole experience even nicer. We ordered some drinks & the Mortadella & the Hot Avocado as well as the bread service to start & all I can say is WOW! The mortadella had a drizzle of honey on it & put such a simple dish over the top. The Hot avocado was so original & tasty too. For mains we ordered the steak frites & the rotisserie half chicken. The chicken was fantastic - it came with a salad & fries. Those fries were just perfect! Crispy & crunchy on the outside & perfection on the inside. The chicken itself was amazing - almost buttery inside & the sauce is scrumptious & different than any other rotisserie chicken sauce. The salad it comes with, I believe is the Alpine salad & I was surprised by how fresh tasting it was - the slightly sweet vinaigrette was just right & I couldn't stop eating it. My husband had the steak frites & he was raving about it - saying if this is how tasty a steak frites is, imagine their better cuts of meat. We ended the meal with their tropical sundae, which was coconut gelato mixed with vanilla soft serve & coconut flakes with some infused pineapple & dulce de leche. It was the perfect ending. Honestly, this was a wonderful dining experience & we plan to go back soon so we can try other dishes on the menu that we missed. Go, you won't be disappointed!

Review: A Hidden Gem in DDO! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
?If you are looking for a top-tier dining experience in Dollard-Des Ormeaux, you have to check out Grille-Nature. We had an absolutely stellar dinner here recently that hit all the right notes.
?The Food Highlights:
?Beef Carpaccio: A must-try starter. Fresh, flavorful, & the perfect way to begin the meal.
?The Roasted Chicken (Demi): I loved the seasoning on this-it had a delicious hint of a piri-piri style flavor profile but remained unique. The meat was incredibly tender & fell right off the bone.
?Duck Confit: My date's duck was equally impressive-perfectly tender & cooked with care.
?The Value:
One of the best parts? The portions are generous. We actually left with enough for a second meal! For the quality of food & the experience, the bill (around $100 for two) was very reasonable.
?The Service:
A massive thank you to our server, Tyler, who was friendly & attentive. A highlight of the night was being personally welcomed by one of the owners, David, shortly after we sat down. That kind of hospitality is exactly what we love to see at Montreal in a Box.
?We will definitely be back! 🥂

We were so warmly welcomed when we arrived & throughout our meal. We struggled to decided what to try. Everything sounded so delicious. We started with the fried squid & chose to share the whole chicken. The meal was superb from start to finish (drinks included!) Portions were extremely generous. For dessert, we went with the coconut sugar pie. The whole pie! Genius idea. Enjoying a piece this morning with my coffee! Prices are super reasonable for the quality & quantity & I won't hesitate to recommend this lovely restaurant to everyone I know. Already looking forward to going back with the family.
