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 and did a really good job. Huge thank you to David Mcmillan for coming over to our table and speaking to us. Was such a good experience wish i could eat there every day ! 😂
Reviews / Ratings for Grille-Nature
Great place with a good food. A bit noisy in the evening though:) but that’s the only one hiccup I’ve had so far 🫶
Overated and overpriced. Food and service were just ok, below expectations. We were four and we all agreed we would not return.
Fantastic dining experience from start to finish. The location is easily accessible, the interior warm, welcoming, and spacious. The service is truly Michelin-level. And the food? Some of the best and 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 and grace. Here’s to a hundred years, gents. Thank you for the memorable dinner — I’ll be back very soon. - dan
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 and I will definitely be coming back. The space is beautifully curated with rugs, warm lighting, thoughtful decor and 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, and 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, and 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.
Delicious and great service. What a selection looking forward to going back.
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 and 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) and 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.
Amazing!
What a wonderful experience. The food and the staff were fantastic. Their attention to detail was outstanding. I will definitely be going back. A great thank you to the Chef Melinda
Overpriced and underwhelming plus a pompous waiter. Steak was good everything else thumbs down.
We went for dinner and were thoroughly impressed by how beautifully the space is designed. The atmosphere strikes a perfect balance between casual and stylish, and the refreshed jukebox adds a clean, upbeat touch. Overall, the environment feels warm, comfortable, and inviting.We started with the Hot Avocado, White Shrimp Tostada, and Tall Salad—each dish was absolutely delicious. For our main courses, we enjoyed the Blackened Shrimp with Aioli, the D & D Cheeseburger with fries, the Seared Scallops, and the Lamb Chops. Every dish exceeded expectations, and each of us raved about our meal.Our server, Sam, was exceptional—friendly, attentive, and incredibly helpful throughout the evening.This restaurant is truly a standout for the West Island, and we are fortunate to have such talented chefs investing in our community. An easy A++++++++++. We will definitely be returning again and again, as there is so much more we’re excited to try.
I enjoyed the best steak I've ever had here. Service was wonderful from start to finish. True hospitality and careful attention to the craft of cooking is alive and well at Grille-Nature.
Honestly, I found it overrated. The presentation wasn’t very appealing, and 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, and the prices were extremely high for the experience you get. The service, however, was good.
Was excited to come here because we were finally were getting a 'Montreal downtown quality' restaurant on the west island.And 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 and 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 and 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 and menu ambition of Joe Beef, Vin Papillon, Mon Lapin, Beba, Parapluie, etc. But now we still have to go downtown to get that.
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 and scallops. All excellent and cooked perfectly. I was suggested an excellent wine pairing for my scallops and the spicy margarita had a strong kick! Generous portions so we did not have space for desert. Can't wait to return to try the rest!
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 and lots of families with young kids at that time. It felt nice for parents to be able to go out and 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 and decadent.
I’ll keep this review brief because it truly doesn’t need many words: I’ve been really lucky to travel close to 4 million miles in my life and eat at some of the best restaurants in the world’s best food cities. Grille-Nature is ABSOLUTELY in that company. Period.
Incredible food & service I was served bye Noémie and it went flawlessly Warm room and an all star kitchen staff I highly recommend 🔥
Casual vibe, elevated but unpretentious for food and service.
Incredible staff, great vibe, great food, generous portions. Perfect restaurant!
Our new favourite restaurant! Everything was perfect...the service, the vibe, the food. Cant wait to try more plates next week!!
With two chefs that need no introduction to the Montreal food scene, it should come as no surprise that Grille-Nature offers some delicious food, great atmosphere, and outstanding service. Seeing Chef McMillan walking around and talking it up with everyone was a highlight. I'll have to ask him to autograph my Bourdain cookbook next time. Excited to have this place in the west island.
Excellent meal last night at Grill-Nature . The food as expected was very good ! The service and the atmosphere was old school comfortable, they make you feel so welcome !! The chocolate cake was insane !
