About Les Grillades
Les Grillades delivers authentic Lebanese cuisine from its Nepean location on Colonnade Road, distinguished by charcoal-grilled meats that capture traditional Lebanese cooking methods. Positioned along Merivale Road corridor—Ottawa's emerging hub for excellent Middle Eastern cooking—Les Grillades has earned recognition as one of the city's best halal Middle Eastern destinations.
Charcoal grilling defines Les Grillades' approach. Real charcoal creates flavors and textures impossible to replicate with gas or electric grills. The meats—chicken, beef, lamb, kebabs—emerge with subtle smoke character and proper char that Lebanese tradition demands. This commitment to traditional cooking methods separates Les Grillades from restaurants taking shortcuts.
Beyond grilled meats, the mezze selection showcases Lebanese culinary breadth: hummus, baba ghanoush, kibbeh, fattoush, tabbouleh prepared with proper technique and fresh ingredients. These small plates allow exploring Lebanese flavors through shared dining that reflects Middle Eastern hospitality traditions.
The Nepean location makes Les Grillades accessible for residents across Ottawa's west and south ends. Over 2,000 reviews and +4.5★ rating reflect consistent quality that builds loyal following. Dining in, takeout, delivery through Uber Eats, and catering services accommodate various needs from quick meals to family gatherings.
