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.
Overall, we had a great experience, with a few areas that could use improvement.
The service & staff were excellent. Everyone was attentive & friendly, the food arrived quickly, & the pacing of the meal felt well thought out rather than rushed or sluggish.
The menu is genuinely interesting, with a lot of tempting & well-curated options. It feels creative without being gimmicky. The drink program is also a strong point. Cocktails were very tasty, & the wine list is solid, offering great selections both by the bottle & by the glass.
Food highlights really stood out. The calamari were excellent, perfectly cooked & flavorful. The scallops were cooked just right, & the fries deserve a special mention. Honestly, they might be the best fries I've ever had.
That said, a few elements didn't fully live up to expectations. The 8oz bar steak was cooked perfectly in terms of temperature/crust, but the quality of the meat itself wasn't there. It was chewy & had noticeable sinew, which took away from what should be a highlight at a grill-focused restaurant. The mortadella appetizer was also overhyped by our waiter. It ended up being very standard German-style mortadella (Leberkase), nothing bad - even very tasty, but nothing memorable either. I would skip it next time.
I'd give the restaurant a solid 4 stars, but a few details pulled the experience down.The bar stools were extremely uncomfortable, to the point where my legs were going numb. We eat at bars often, both locally & while traveling, & these were among the least comfortable bar seats I've encountered. It really affected the enjoyment of the meal. The steak knives also felt cheap. It may sound minor, but ripping through meat isn't appetizing, & for a place branded as a grill, this feels like a basic expectation. Lastly, the toilets were a bit dirty, with things like urine on the floor. Nothing dramatic, but still unacceptable for an establishment at this price point & level.
Overall, it's a bit on the expensive side for the portion sizes, but the food is very tasty. I would definitely go back, & if some of these issues improve, I'd be happy to update my review.
Went to Grille Nature with my wife, & my parents & had an absolutely wonderful experience!
We ordered the ginger shrimp & chopped salad to start! The shrimp were very tasty & the Chopped Salad tasted very very fresh!
For the main, we ordered two specials (New York steak & Black cod) & we also ordered the scallops which is on the regular menu! Steak was served in a jus that was absolutely delicious. It was cooked pretty rare & I wish it were closer to medium but it was still very very good! The black cod was also delicious. It had a slight sweetness to it (probably a sauce), & tasted very fresh! The scallops were very flavourful & super tender! I honestly would recommend all 3 dishes! (Pictures of the mains included)
The service was very polite but I found the pacing was a little off. The appetizers came in a good amount of time but it felt like 35-40 minutes between the end of the appetizer & when we got the dinner. All that being said, the server was very polite & I think she was pretty new so I should give her more slack than I am giving her.
Overall, I really really enjoyed this restaurant. It's so great to have a restaurant of this quality in the West Island
I will absolutely be back & I can't wait to try more things on their menu!
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!
Absolutely amazing new gem in the West Island!
The service & food was exceptional.
Great balanced menu across the board.
Fresh local farm to table food.
It's beautiful to have access to quality downtown dining in the west & not have to worry about parking.
I highly recommend everyone to give this place a try & judge for yourselves. You will not be disappointed.
Thank you Grille Nature 🙂
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! 🥂
Only great things to say about our experience at Grille Nature. The food is really incredible- there wasn't one mediocre dish that we ordered, everything was great. The menu is different & really fun, so many starters & sides, it's kind of like a''Choose your own adventure'' menu. I have rarely (if ever) seen this quality of food at this price point. Affordability is super relative, but you can eat eat here for less than you would pay at a mid range chain restaurant. So excited for this & other new great restaurants on the West Island! Can we keep this momentum going?
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.
