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.
Les avis sur Grille Nature s'accordent à présenter l'endroit comme une valeur sûre de l'ouest de l'île, avec des portions généreuses, des plats créatifs et bien exécutés, et un service attentif dans une ambiance chaleureuse et accueillante. La carte mêle plats populaires et choix plus audacieux, avec des incontournables comme les fruits de mer, le foie gras, des frites croustillantes et du pain et du beurre appréciés, ainsi qu'un programme de boissons bien pensé. Si la qualité générale et l'ambiance sont largement saluées, certains commentaires évoquent des prix élevés au regard des portions et des incohérences occasionnelles dans l'exécution ou le tempo du service, notamment pour certains steaks, des accompagnements facturés séparément, ou des visites où le service ou le rythme pourraient être améliorés. Malgré cela, Grille Nature est décrit comme vivant mais confortable, avec une ambiance familiale et une hospitalité qui donne envie de revenir pour découvrir d'autres plats.
Wonderful ambiance, lovely soft music, & impeccable service. A very friendly, warm & inviting restaurant. Menu is a bit lacking & very meat-heavy with not many vegetable or grain sides. A menu offering balanced dishes as well as affordable non red-meat options would make this a perfect dining experience.
Highly recommend getting dishes to share. The tall salad was so refreshing. Calamari was tender, perfectly cooked. Flavourful carpaccio. Intensely beefy steak. Delicious umami fries. Perfectly balanced spicy margarita. Generous sundae.
This cuisine is straight-forward, perfectly executed, focused on the joy of eating. The menu is a mix of classics with some eclectic additions (hot avocado in escabèche, anyone?)

Had a wonderful dinner with friends where we ordered all the things! Food was beyond expectations. Service 10/10 out waitress Paige was fabulous. So happy to have such a great spot in the west island.
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!
As a fan of Chef Derek Dammann & Maison Publique, I had very high expectations for this new spot. Unfortunately, despite the hype, it was one of the most disappointing steak experiences I've had in Montreal.
?The space feels similar to a refined McKiernan, industrial & modern but the ambiance was thrown off by three TVs over the bar blasting football. For the price point & the open-concept style, it felt out of place & cheapened the atmosphere.
?Service started well with a nice hostess, but things went downhill. We waited 45 minutes for our starters. The Caesar salad was unremarkable with scarce bacon & parmesan. Worse, the bread (which isn't complimentary) arrived late & ice cold with hard, unspreadable butter. We also had to ask for wine by the glass because it wasn't on the menu; the server brought bottles to the table with no price transparency, eventually suggesting glasses that turned out to be $17 each.
?But the main disappointment was the steak. We skipped appetizers to save room for the meat, which was a mistake. I ordered the $110 Australian Wagyu Delmonico special.I was told it was'Chef's choice' for temperature, but what I got was a disaster. The portion was massive (honestly, too big for one person), but the cut was absurdly thick, over 3 inches. Because of this thickness, the cook was terrible. It had an inch of dry, well-done gray band on top, while the bottom was completely blue, cold, & unrendered. For a Wagyu cut, you need a better cook to render the fat, but this was chewy & unseasoned inside.
?To make matters worse, both my steak & my partner's fillet were served in a pool of overwhelming, salty, HP-style sauce that completely masked the taste of the meat. Between the bad cook, the cold interior, & the heavy sauce, I struggled to finish even half. We ordered fries on the side, but they were oily & lacked crunch.
?The dessert sundae was good, but overall, for a restaurant of this caliber & price, the execution was shocking. I've eaten steaks all over the world (US, Japan, Spain), & this was a major letdown.
This place is an absolute hit. The food was spectacular. We tried the half chicken, the steak frites, the calamari & the shrimp tostada. Everyone was raving about how good it was. The french fries that come with the half chicken & steak are some of the best fries i've ever had.
Best restaurant in Montreal. I cannot believe a restaurant only a couple months old is this good. I knew it would be good when I heard David McMillan & Derek Dammann were at the helm, but it's even exceeded my expectations, by a lot.
Food - every dish is incredible. Unique, adventurous, & delicious.
Service - friendly, welcoming, sharp. Attention to detail very noticeable, & this is only 2 months in.
Drinks - a multitude of options. Great wine list, great beer list, incredible cocktails.
Ambiance - warm & welcoming. See for yourself.
An extremely talented team & they are only going to get better.
Selfishly, I do not want to tell anyone about this place, but it's so good I can't not leave a review.
Go try it for yourself, you'll see.

What an well thought out environment. Everything is understated & you feel like you've walked into a friend or family's kitchen to grab a meal.
The service was excellent. We didn't ever need to flag anyone down & the staff clearly knew the menu well. Other establishments could learn from this staff.
Food was nothing short of amazing. The scallops we perfectly cooked, their chalkboard items we're mouth watering & their twist on something as simple as french fries we're already one of the many reasons I will be coming back.
One of my new favorite restaurants, everything was amazing from the service to the food. I was hesitant to try the cheese burger because there were so many tasty looking options, but this burger really stood out it was so juicy & had such flavor, I would recommend it! My boyfriend got the steak frites & it was also amazing cooked to perfection. Even the French fries were really good. Also you HAVE to try the fried squid the batter was so tasty the sauce on the side was also really delicious.
Our server was very kind, & quick to ask how we were doing or if we wanted anything else. Also the host at the front remembering my name as we left & saying good bye was a sweet touch. Overall a really good experience & we can't wait to be back
Grille-Nature is a wonderful addition to the West Island. A fresh & vibrant restaurant with great service & fantastic food. My wife & i shared a salad that tasted like it just came from the garden. My main dish was a 12oz beef filet with a side of french fries & my wife had a 16oz steak with a baked potato, absolutely mouth watering. A definite must try.

First time trying this restaurant & it won't be our last! Everything was delicious & so nicely presented. Upon entering, you're greeted so warmly & everyone who approached the table once we were seated was so friendly which made the whole experience even nicer. We ordered some drinks & the Mortadella & the Hot Avocado as well as the bread service to start & all I can say is WOW! The mortadella had a drizzle of honey on it & put such a simple dish over the top. The Hot avocado was so original & tasty too. For mains we ordered the steak frites & the rotisserie half chicken. The chicken was fantastic - it came with a salad & fries. Those fries were just perfect! Crispy & crunchy on the outside & perfection on the inside. The chicken itself was amazing - almost buttery inside & the sauce is scrumptious & different than any other rotisserie chicken sauce. The salad it comes with, I believe is the Alpine salad & I was surprised by how fresh tasting it was - the slightly sweet vinaigrette was just right & I couldn't stop eating it. My husband had the steak frites & he was raving about it - saying if this is how tasty a steak frites is, imagine their better cuts of meat. We ended the meal with their tropical sundae, which was coconut gelato mixed with vanilla soft serve & coconut flakes with some infused pineapple & dulce de leche. It was the perfect ending. Honestly, this was a wonderful dining experience & we plan to go back soon so we can try other dishes on the menu that we missed. Go, you won't be disappointed!
Review: A Hidden Gem in DDO! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
?If you are looking for a top-tier dining experience in Dollard-Des Ormeaux, you have to check out Grille-Nature. We had an absolutely stellar dinner here recently that hit all the right notes.
?The Food Highlights:
?Beef Carpaccio: A must-try starter. Fresh, flavorful, & the perfect way to begin the meal.
?The Roasted Chicken (Demi): I loved the seasoning on this-it had a delicious hint of a piri-piri style flavor profile but remained unique. The meat was incredibly tender & fell right off the bone.
?Duck Confit: My date's duck was equally impressive-perfectly tender & cooked with care.
?The Value:
One of the best parts? The portions are generous. We actually left with enough for a second meal! For the quality of food & the experience, the bill (around $100 for two) was very reasonable.
?The Service:
A massive thank you to our server, Tyler, who was friendly & attentive. A highlight of the night was being personally welcomed by one of the owners, David, shortly after we sat down. That kind of hospitality is exactly what we love to see at Montreal in a Box.
?We will definitely be back! 🥂
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.
We came to Montreal for a mini honeymoon & had the best time at Grille Nature. The hostess & waiters were exceptionally nice & made sure we had an amazing evening. The food was phenomenal, the clams were one of the best we ever had & they had a roasted piglet special which was the most tender & crispy pork! The lemon meringue pie was also delicious. Everything was 10/10 & we will totally recommend this to all of our friends.

Not only does the West Island have a new restaurant, but it's a David McMillan & Derek Damann venture. The food was mind-blowingly good & the service was outstanding. Sam was our waiter & all of his suggestions were perfect. We had two cocktails, appetizers were foie gras as well as a plate of calamari, mains were scallops in butter sauce & my husband had the'Salaberry steak' with a fried egg on top. We shared an alpine salad. Dessert was the amazing coconut & sucre à la creme pie (it's an entire pie, enough for 4 people). Can't wait to go back!
The ginger shrimp was good 8/10. My steak was over done & not tasty 5/10. The bread was very good, but not warm. Our server Noah was very friendly. The decor is average. The Apple strudel was served cold 6/10
In general, it is overpriced
Excellent service & even better food! Everything was delicious. From the squid to the meats to the sundae. All the food was super fresh. The fries are a must !!!!
We were so warmly welcomed when we arrived & throughout our meal. We struggled to decided what to try. Everything sounded so delicious. We started with the fried squid & chose to share the whole chicken. The meal was superb from start to finish (drinks included!) Portions were extremely generous. For dessert, we went with the coconut sugar pie. The whole pie! Genius idea. Enjoying a piece this morning with my coffee! Prices are super reasonable for the quality & quantity & I won't hesitate to recommend this lovely restaurant to everyone I know. Already looking forward to going back with the family.
