I've been wanting to try Grill Nature for a while now & it was definitely worth the wait.
The restaurant is really cute. The best way I can describe the décor is cafeteria meets sugar shack - but in a really good way. 😂 It feels casual, warm & different.
Now the food…
You CANNOT leave this place without trying the mortadella. Seriously. It is out of this world. I'm not sure I can ever buy grocery store mortadella again after this.
Then came the difficult part: choosing what else to order. The menu is way more extensive than I expected & there were so many things we wanted to try.
We went with the shrimp, beef carpaccio & burrata. Everything was fresh, simple & without too much fla-fla. The beef in the carpaccio literally melted in your mouth.
For our main, we shared a ribeye steak. It was super juicy & the flavour was amazing. My only little negative is that I personally like my steak with more of a crust, so I would have loved just a little more sear on the outside.
My vodka martini was good, & the wine they suggested was really good too. They actually have a very nice wine list.
The espresso martini though… not good. That one was a miss for me.
Overall, I'm REALLY happy to have a restaurant like this in the West Island. Great food, fun atmosphere, interesting menu & definitely somewhere I'll go back to.
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.
Shared a great meal with my wife,daughter, & sister. The food was fantastic! My wife had the newly added fried chicken which was delicious. I had the lamb ragu lasagne. Amazing! The sides of Calamari, Steak tar tar & shrimp avocado toast was superb. Topped it off with Blueberry cobbler & soft ice cream for dessert. So good. Also got to have a great conversation with Dave McMillan. Service was great. All thanks to my daughter Elianne who organized it. Thank you
The stars of the show: Our wonderful waiter (think his name was Sam), the bread & butter (hands down crack, best bread & butter you'll ever taste), garlic honey shrimp (not greasy, very crunchy, generous sized shrimp, sweet & salty), my friend adored the warm olives & parmesan, the strawberry graham sundae we had was insanely good (crunchy fresh strawberries, sweet, beautiful presentation)
The letdowns: Our 110$ steak was overcooked & lots of fatty inedible chunks (if you like medium rare ask for rare), the fries weren't as good as everyone else made them seem (they are good but not fall of your seat wow), skip the chocolate cake (too salty & not what I expected)
For me this place was a one & done, we paid 130$ per person with tax & tip & it's way above my personal budget to come regularly but we did order a ton of items. I might come back to try some dirty martini & that wonderful bread again. I felt like some menu price points could be lower especially 16$ for a slice of cake. Overall the place was cozy, a mix of high end cuisine/service in a very relaxed & casual atmosphere. To whoever commented that they need to dim the lights, they did!!! Loved that for us.
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
TRÈS DÉÇU - L'hôtesse ne parle ni français ni anglais. Le service manquait totalement de coordination : nous avons été servis par deux personnes différentes qui ne communiquaient pas entre elles, du jamais vu. Côté cuisine, le repas était très moyen. Évitez les crevettes cajun & le steak-frites, sous peine d'être grandement déçus. De plus, lorsque nous avons demandé une suggestion de vin, la serveuse nous a répondu : « Ah non ! Ne me demandez pas ça, je ne suis pas capable ! ». À 400 $ pour deux adultes & un enfant, & malgré la bonne réputation des chefs, c'est inacceptable. J'avais hâte d'y aller, je n'y retournerai plus jamais.
I was really looking forward to eating at Grill Nature. I'm a big fan of the chefs & the concept. When I first read about it, I thought it was exactly what the West Island needed: a simple, old-school menu done right.
Let's start with the chicken dinner. We ordered the whole chicken & when it arrived, it looked fantastic. Unfortunately, it was quite dry. The breast was very dry & the leg was tough to chew. The sauce was excellent, though, & the fries were delicious.
That brings me to the other bird: the duck confit. Again, it was dry, which was disappointing. It also lacked the richness & tenderness you'd expect from a good duck confit. Overall, it was an average dish.
We also had the steak frites. The flank steak was tasty, but there wasn't anything particularly memorable about it.
On the positive side, all four starters were delicious. The burrata, baked clams, & sashimi-style scallops were standouts. The bread was excellent as well.
Service started off strong & attentive, but our drinks took quite a while to arrive. The starters came out quickly, but there was a long wait for the mains. Had the main courses been stronger, the wait would have been easier to overlook.
Dessert finished the meal on a high note. The chocolate cake was absolutely delicious.
This isn't a complaint as much as constructive feedback. I'll definitely be back to Grill Nature because I know it's still relatively new & there is a lot of potential here. That said, dry chicken & duck are pretty fundamental issues, & I hope they're addressed because everything else suggests this restaurant could become something
Had high expectations considering the reviews & pedigree of owners. Unfortunately, very disappointing. We had 8pm reservation for 5. Only given menu from someone 10 min after being seated. Waiter did not arrive for another 15 minutes. All this time we browsed the menu & chalk board deciding what to order. When waiter finally arrived & explained the menu, many of the options on board were no longer available. Waiter was friendly & knew his stuff but it would have been nice if person who gave us the menu informed us of all the dishes that were sold out. Also it's strange that so many items were no longer available since it was only 8pm. Waiter really pushed the porterhouse steaks & I'm sure the quality is good but we're more into ribey & there were none. We ordered multiple dishes to share. Some were just ok but several were flops. Some dishes were way too salty or the chicken dish that tasted like the sauce came from a low cost bottle. Basically, the execution was not very good. The atmosphere & look are beautiful. Our table was located under the vent so we were freezing. Also, I sat at the end of a long table but there was a piece of wood attached to the corner legs that made it very uncomfortable to sit because I had to sit with my feet under my chair or stretched out over the piece of wood. I'm tempted to give them another try as maybe it was just a bad night. It happens.
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.
