Grille-Nature est un restaurant conçu par les chefs propriétaires Derek Dammann et David McMillan. C’est une promesse de fin de carrière rendue possible grâce à une longue amitié et à un amour commun pour l’art de recevoir. C’est un menu garni de fruits de mer, de légumes de saison et des plus grandes coupes de bœuf. C’est un bar chaleureux, une carte des vins éclectique et une équipe qui aura le soin de vous accueillir comme à la maison.
Deux chefs, deux fermes, deux familles. Un restaurant. Que des produits de qualité.
Grille-Nature est largement salué comme une belle découverte dans l ouest montréalais, avec une cuisine inventive, des plats frais et une attention aux détails qui donnent l impression d une expérience gastronomique sans sacrifier la convivialité. Le service est souvent décrit comme chaleureux et attentif, les vins et cocktails bien choisis et l ambiance agréable, parfois décrite comme décontractée mais élégante, et la proximité du stationnement est un atout. Les portions généreuses et les saveurs marquées sont fréquemment mentionnées comme des points forts, tout comme la présence des propriétaires sur place qui ajoute une vraie chaleur humaine. Certaines voix soulignent des prix élevés par rapport à la portion et une expérience qui peut varier selon les plats ou le timing du service, avec quelques plats jugés moins remarquables ou des détails en salle à améliorer, mais l ensemble des retours convergents restent extrêmement positifs et beaucoup annoncent déjà un retour pour explorer d autres plats.
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.
For the first time in a long time, I felt like I was living in the 2000's when there was no rushing, tables that have enough room around them to breath & staff that were pleased to be there. This paired with the incredible food & show stopping fries (fried in tallow?) & very best dirty martini. 10/10 would recommend

Very disappointed with my main course that the waiter could have told me that it included only 6 shrimps. I then ordered also the broccolini which they were in a heavily sauce. It wasn't worth the trip & paying $350 for 3 people I would have gotten better food for that amount.
We were accompanied by another party of 3 which we definitely won't be returning.
Regards,
Absolutely incredible restaurant from the service to the food we really enjoyed our visit here.
We had the scallops , carpaccio , marmite oyster & milano ham. Each dish was better than the next. The scallops were the best i ever had!
For the main dishes we had the steak & duck. Absolutely amazing!
Our waitress was super friendly & did a really good job. Huge thank you to David Mcmillan for coming over to our table & speaking to us. Was such a good experience wish i could eat there every day ! 😂
Was excited to come here because we were finally were getting a'Montreal downtown quality' restaurant on the west island.
& to be clear, the quality of the food is excellent. The prices are high to match, but where I was let down is in the ambition.
West Islanders want downtown quality food, without it taking an hour to get there in weekday traffic & then having to find parking. We want the exact same thing we can get in the best restaurants downtown, but closer. I thought that's what we were going to get.
Instead we got a'dumbed-down' menu & a more'middle of the road' wine list.
David we spent an hour plus fighting traffic to get to your old restaurants downtown because we could have a gastronomic experience that is hard to find - this crazy creative/quality/price ratio that does not exist anywhere in North America except Montreal.
That's what we want.
We don't want it to be dumbed down. We don't want it to be a'suburban' restaurant. We want the same creativity & menu ambition of Joe Beef, Vin Papillon, Mon Lapin, Beba, Parapluie, etc. But now we still have to go downtown to get that.

Fantastic dining experience from start to finish. The location is easily accessible, the interior warm, welcoming, & spacious. The service is truly Michelin-level. & the food? Some of the best & most creative in Montreal-let alone the West Island.
In a city full of trendy spots copying one another to compete over who has the best tortellini in brodo, it's incredibly refreshing to find a place like this. A restaurant that serves true classics, executed with professionalism & grace.
Here's to a hundred years, gents. Thank you for the memorable dinner - I'll be back very soon.

Staff very friendly. Service excellent. Food delicious. Except for steak frittes all sides seem to cost extra. The decor was lovely but I personally would re-think placing rugs under the tables. Could be an accident waiting to happen. Also, very noisy. All the above criticism is constructive. On the whole I enjoyed my experience at Grille Nature. I personally think it's geared for the 40, 50, 60's crowd.
Grille Nature lived up to the expectations & I will definitely be coming back. The space is beautifully curated with rugs, warm lighting, thoughtful decor & soft jazz music-making it so that you feel as if you're having an intimate dinner at a friends home. The food was delicious- the ribs with their sweet red pepper sauce, & the bitter caramel of the sticky toffee pudding really stood out. Our server was a delight, being very personable. I dropped a star because the bathroom was not that clean (water all over the counters, & the toilet paper holder looked like it had rust or something brown splashed all over it), which took away a bit from the experience for a restaurant of this calibre you would think they had someone tending to the washrooms more often.
Excellent food. Excellent service. The Milano ham appetizer is outstanding & the chocolate cake is amazing. I took the shrimp as a main meal: very tasty.
Had a mostly pleasant experience for dinner this week. The service was excellent from the moment I stepped in. Had the milano ham & alpine cheese as an starter followed by the scallops. Meal was very good. Main courses are quite varied, priced from 25-100$, something for each price point. Local tall can beers from 4 Origines were listed for about 10$ with non alcoholic options on request. I ordered a small can of Asahi 0.0 (price is not listed) & was charged 12$ for it. How a small can of non alcoholic beer can cost 20% more than a tall of craft beer? My meal was good, but I left with a sour taste in my mouth.
Délicieux, nous avons pris plusieurs plats afin de goûter un peu à tout & n'avons pas été déçu dutout! Très bon service nous, allons retourner. Merci encore
What a wonderful experience. The food & the staff were fantastic. Their attention to detail was outstanding. I will definitely be going back. A great thank you to the Chef Melinda

Honestly, I found it overrated. The presentation wasn't very appealing, & the meat was quite disappointing, as was the sauce. There was also a real lack of vegetables- even for a steakhouse, where you already don't expect many, there were barely any at all. Overall, everything felt underwhelming. The atmosphere felt more like an upscale pub than anything special, & the prices were extremely high for the experience you get. The service, however, was good.
Vraiment une belle soirée chez Grille-Nature ! On a super bien mangé : la nourriture était fraîche, bien préparée & les cuissons étaient parfaites. C'est du comfort food de grande qualité.
Le menu offre énormément de choix, donc il y en a vraiment pour tous les goûts. Nos cocktails étaient bons, même s'ils n'étaient pas nécessairement exceptionnels.
Le gros plus : les deux chefs propriétaires étaient sur place pour faire le tour des tables & jaser avec les clients. Ça donne une ambiance vraiment chaleureuse & humaine. Pour la qualité servie, les prix sont très raisonnables. En plus, c'est super facile de se trouver du stationnement.
Bref, une belle découverte où je retournerais n'importe quand !
It's truly in the details. You get a 5* experience from food to service without breaking bank thanks to the small attention that make it feel special. The windbreaker curtain to avoid drafts, the'coat service', the replacement of utensils... Small things that don't mean much alone but compound when added together. Didn't feel like we were bothering anyone even when we asked for things from someone who wasn't our dedicated server. Again, simple things but all together made it a great night out for tired parents on Saint-Valentine. We had the foie gras to share, steak poivre & scallops. All excellent & cooked perfectly. I was suggested an excellent wine pairing for my scallops & the spicy margarita had a strong kick! Generous portions so we did not have space for dessert.
Had a very warm ambience. Did not expect at all but it is actually great for families. We had an early 4:30 pm reservation & lots of families with young kids at that time. It felt nice for parents to be able to go out & not feel rushed. Food was good too. My son never finishes resto food but he 99% finished the huge burger. Highly recommend the chocolate cake as well; rich & decadent.
