La Grillade Restored To Its Character Glory
Tucked away behind the graceful façade of a historic Lower North Shore terrace, La Grillade has been the unassuming gourmet retreat for the social set for almost a quarter of a Century. Freshly revamped by Rob Rubis of Manta Restaurant fame, behind the vintage oak farmhouse door is a sumptuous slice of provincial France: rustic exposed beams, an earthy combination of soft reds and greys, and service staff who grace each table with personality and charm.
Menu highlights include the O’Connor 32-month ‘chateaubriand’ dry-aged sirloin with pommes dauphine, chanterelle and lashings of luscious Café de Paris butter; the tender rôti de canard (roasted duck with apricot, ‘vadouvan’, local turnip and a delicate sprinkling of almonds); and the refined flavours of the just-caught poissons du jour
