What an incredible experience at Grille Nature. A long-awaited spot that we finally got to enjoy with friends. The highly anticipated dining experience didn't disappoint, it far exceeded expectations.
As a self-proclaimed home cook, I'm not easily impressed & usually love cooking at home. This really showed me the difference between a home cook & a chef. I was happily humbled, I can't cook like that, even with all the YouTube help.
Dining is alive & well, & yes, it's a luxury, but Grille Nature is the right place for that special occasion. We were greeted by name with smiles by David McMillan at the door & guided to our table by a very friendly host. Our waitress, Alia, was full of passion & had great suggestions. She brought dishes that paired perfectly together, banger after banger, no misses.
Big shoutout to the kitchen, truly incredible. We had the white asparagus with prosciutto, scallops with potato butter, sausage coil with poached pear & long hots, miso cod, pork skewer with lentils, Furley bread, panna cotta, Parisian flan, & cassis sorbet to finish.
Shoutout to Jenny (sorry if I got the name wrong). Ordering a Pigeon Hill wine sparked a great conversation about Quebec wine, & she offered us a taste of a crisp gem. Thanks for the recommendation of L'Espiegle.
The vibe was right, great tunes, proper lighting, & even a hockey game on (Go Habs Go!). What a gem to have in the West Island, greatly appreciated by us west of the West Island folks. & yes, parking was plentiful.
Absolutely outstanding meal, impeccable service & a very positive vibe in the restaurant. I was blown away & I will be returning. Thank you for a fabulous experience, see you soon.
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.
Local high quality ingredients with simple delicious recipes expertly prepared & didn't break the bank!
From the moment you walk in you're greeted with a warm smile & friendly banter. The service was EXCELLENT, she knew the menu inside out & we didn't feel pressured.. only supported.
It's a very chill local vibe inside & I can't wait to try the terrace in the summer!
You HAVE to get the Furley bread with churned butter, Hudson's finest really delivers.
The shrimp were the perfect starter & weren't overpowering.
The spicy margarita was strong & so yummy!
The scallops & bar steak were the perfect combo, & the value on the streak is crazy imo. There are some elevated options, but you can enjoy this restaurant without breaking the bank easily. Incredible addition to the West Island!
We had such a great experience here. The space is beautiful & the vibe is spot on. As soon as we gave our name, we were immediately wished a happy birthday - such a thoughtful touch that really set the tone for the night.
We started with cocktails (delicious) & shared a bunch of appetizers. The bread service was excellent, the hot avocado was a favourite, plus calamari & shrimp. We were also gifted a salad the kitchen is trying out that's not on the menu yet, & it was amazing. Some people at the table had the foie gras toast & it was unreal. We ordered a bit of everything & shared, & honestly, every dish was a hit.
The owner came over & helped us choose a bottle of wine, which was a great recommendation, & took the time to chat with us. The service felt very down to earth & natural - everyone was friendly, checked in on us, & it didn't matter who noticed if a plate was cleared or a wine glass needed topping up, it was just handled. We also loved how the food comes out on carts.
It was a birthday celebration, complete with lots of birthday wishes & a massive sundae for the kiddo at the table. The whole place felt warm, family-friendly, & like a true community spot.
The menu is also very reasonably priced, with great range - from burgers to Wagyu beef cheek. We'll definitely be back.
My only feedback: I strongly recommend they consider doing a wine club. It would be so well received, & I know I would sign up.
Really enjoyed our meal & the vibes at this new WI restaurant.
Staff were lovely & you can see all runs very well as the owners walk around. A nice atmosphere & the food was delicious.
I definitely would ask for another table next time however; did not enjoy the flashing neon ( Xmas ?) lights coming from the meat locker.
