Two of us dined at Grille Nature tonight & had an exceptional experience from beginning to end. We sat at the bar & immediately appreciated the wonderfully relaxed, welcoming atmosphere.
The service was outstanding. The staff were attentive, knowledgeable, & seemed genuinely invested in ensuring every detail of the evening went smoothly. Their wine pairing recommendations were excellent & elevated the meal beautifully.
What really stood out was the execution. The timing of every dish was impeccably managed, with each course arriving at precisely the right moment. It's clear that both the front & back of house are operating at a very high level.
We started with the country mortadella & warm olives, followed by the beef tartare, baked clams, & poblano stuffed peppers. Every dish was fresh, flavourful, & thoughtfully prepared. For our mains, the seared scallops, grilled sausages, & French fries were all delicious & expertly executed. We finished with an outstanding almond tart with plums & a couple of double espressos.
The food was fresh, fun, beautiful, & absolutely delicious. Most importantly, it had soul. In a city filled with fantastic restaurants, Grille Nature distinguishes itself as a place that is genuinely worth experiencing.
The value for money is particularly impressive given the quality of the food, service, & overall dining experience. From the atmosphere to the hospitality to the cuisine, this was excellence from top to bottom.
Highly recommended, & we look forward to returning.
This place is an absolute hit. We sat outside with nice Spanish songs, & cold beer.
The calamari was perfectly coated, seasoned, & delicious. The addition of fried spices, grilled lemon, & a rich, velvety béarnaise sauce elevates a simple seafood starter into fine-dining comfort food
The main steak frites were amazingly cooked to perfection, crisp outside & rear inside in its own natural beef jus & the fries some of the best fries I've ever had were just perfect! Crispy & crunchy on the outside & perfection on the inside.
The service was outstanding, David McMillan came out couple of times to cheque how things were going.
There was no space for dessert
Have to say, best meal my husband & I ever had. It's hard to pick a place to go eat when everything is so generic, same food different name place. But Grille Nature is entirely different. Whole food, fresh vegetables & fruits from one of the owner's gardern & you can absolutely taste it! I never post but this retaurant deserves all the hype it can get. From the hostess, to the waiters/bartenders & the actual owner coming out of his way to make sure that we are having the best evening, just wow! Highly recommended & already booked our next dinner.

Outstanding experience at Grille Nature West Island! The food was fresh, flavorful, & beautifully prepared. Every dish tasted like it was made with high-quality ingredients, & the portions were generous. The staff was warm, attentive, & made us feel welcome from the moment we arrived. The atmosphere was clean, comfortable, & perfect for a relaxing meal with family or friends. I'll definitely be coming back & highly recommend Grille Nature West Island to anyone looking for delicious, healthy food & excellent service!
Vraiment satisfaite de cette premier expérience chez Grille-nature. J'y retournerai assurément pour essayer les autres choix tentants au menu. Nous avons pris les calmars & la buratta en entrée. Les calmars sont savoureux & la mayonnaise & bomba qui les accompagnent relève à merveille leur goût. Les légumes qui accompagnent la burrata sont croquants & plein de saveur. Pour le plat principal nous avons pris le poulet entier avec les frites & la salade de choux. Le poulet était un peu sec mais les frites & la salade de chou étaient délicieuses. Belle carte de vin pour accompagner le tout! Le service est efficace, (peut-être trop) plusieurs personnes se succèdent pour poser les memes actions. Ambiance un peu bruyante mais décor très chaleureux
I enjoyed Grille Nature a lot! Their menu could use a few more veggie sides/options. Their mains were fantastic. We got the half rotisserie chicken & the ribs. The fries were no exaggeration best fries i've ever had. Calamari was very crispy with a delicious dipping sauce. Service was fantastic; quick & friendly. Also nice to sometimes go out & have a parking lot & not have to fight for street parking! Would definitely come back. Great place for families, couples, amongst friends & even groups.
My wife & I had a fantastic date night at Grille-Nature. The food was excellent (especially the tuna appetizer !!), & the service was great. Atmosphere a bit on the loud side but don't let that stop you from coming & enjoying this fantastic restaurant. Plenty of parking as well 👍
Definitely coming back.
Rarely do i enjoy suburban dining, but Grille Nature really sets a high bar for experience. Great food & service in a lively setting. Not too trendy, comfy yet not dull. Enjoyed it thoroughly
we went here for a birthday celebration & it was perfect. loved the laidback ambiance, the food & service spoke for itself !! must try dishes are the honey ginger shrimps & grilled steak.
Fantastic spot in the West Island. Grille Nature feels casual, family?friendly, accessible, yet the food has all the refinement & depth you'd expect from David McMillan (Joe Beef) & Derek Dammann (Maison Publique). Relaxed atmosphere, serious cooking. A perfect combo. Definitely worth the drive from Montreal - I will be back!
