It was our first time visiting Grille-Nature after hearing it for a long time. We had a very good experience, very kind waiter who was very attentive the whole time & delicious food! I highly recommend reserving as soon as possible since it gets booked fast & you will have less availability to choose from. We got the churned butter, cesar salad, steak & the calamari. I would highly recommend all of them. One thing I would have preferred is to have their specials & drinks menu printed instead of written on a black board, & having the wine menu (glass & bottle) provided with the food menu to make the ordering process smoother.
We had the calamari & the shrimp as appetizers, duck legs & smoked pork chop as our main. Dessert was a decadent Blueberry cobbler (which was by far & away the highlight of our meal).
Highly recommend the calamari & the duck legs & of course the blueberry cobble
Très mauvaise expérience. La nourriture était de mauvaise qualité, autant au niveau du goût que de la préparation.
Ce qui a surtout rendu l'expérience désagréable, c'est l'attitude du chef-propriétaire. Il semblait être en état d'ébriété & son comportement était agressif & complètement non professionnel.
Pour un établissement qui reçoit des clients, je trouve ce genre de comportement inacceptable. Je ne recommande malheureusement pas cet endroit.
It's unfortunate that the ventilation is so bad in the restaurant, it stinks ! U cant enjoy ur dinner.
Plus the staff is so rude & unprofessional.
I don't recommended at all.
Paraphrasing the late, great Christopher Wallace,'Brooklyn was definitely in the house tonight!!' Our server Brooklyn was beyond fantastic. She had great suggestions, was extremely affable, & we never felt neglected. As for the food? Lord have mercy; the food. If you don't get the baked clams appetizer, I feel bad for you. The fried calamari is also superb - something you've probably had at many a restaurant, but here you can tell the quality of the squid (fried in beef tallow) is not to be messed with. The duck confit was also delicious. Fried to perfection.
But the two winners in the savory arena had to be the cheeseburger & the miso glazed cod from British Columbia. The best sit-down restaurant burger I've ever had - & I'm from southern cali where we have great burgers - & the cod was exquisitely cooked & the miso glaze Id drink by the gallon. The desserts were also sublime. The chocolate cake with sprinkled salt was simple & decadent, & the strawberry Sunday with wildflower honey, whipped merengue & vanilla ice cream made me question all my previous life decisions as being substandard when considered in light of the one I made to order this dessert.
The staff is wonderful. The chefs came out & were delightful. I can't recommend this restaurant enough. If you want amazing food, meticulous & friendly service with no pretense, come here.
Amazing. Excellent meal. Creative, fresh & tasty dishes. Fair prices. Good quality & quantity.
We also met David McMillan himself who was very nice & friendly. We do recommend & are looking forward to our next visit.

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.
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.

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!
