My wife & I walked in…she with a gluten sensitivity & me with a lactose problem
We showed up in jeans, flips & tee shirt. Faizal eyed us & when I asked if they were
Open…grinned & said'only for ice people.' we laughed, sat down & started down a food & wine journey we could not forget
Patê, made in house,
Salmon in white sauce custom for my wife with no gluten,
An amazing veal dish with custom wine sauce for me. We had the place almost to ourselves & felt we're were invited to a home for amazing hospitality.
A new Montreal favourite for me…& Faizal has always promised us a seat…View more

This is a smaller family owned French restaurant right downtown. We first saw this place walking home from another dinner & the owner was out front & chatted with us & told us he had been in business for 49 years. So we thought that we would give it a try during our stay. The owner himself & one other person were serving. We were first served individual rolls & bruschetta. Both were delicious. Amongst the five of us, our appetizers included the escargot in puff pastry, which was an amazingly delicious rich appetizer. I would've been satisfied to stop there. I did not. A couple of people had the French onion soup, which was apparently rich & very delicious. Our Manes included my short ribs, which were served with a couple of spears of perfectly cooked asparagus & piped mashed potatoes. Other diners had Rack of Lamb Provençale, fillet mignon, fillet mignon with pepper sauce,
& Entrecôte sauce Bordelaise. They were all excellent. For dessert, the five of us shared two desserts… One was their chocolate crème brûlée… It was just OK. & a small apple dessert with some vanilla ice cream. That was good. Their wine list was quite extensive & expensive lol. The chef did come out at the end of the evening when we were leaving & asked us how we enjoyed our meals. I would highly recommend this restaurant.View more

Excellent! My son & I came here for the first time tonight & we will surely be back again. The food was delicious & the service was great. The waiters were attentive & the owner, Kazim, was charming & personable. We shared the escargot dish & they so kindly split it into two dishes for us. Their unique preparation with the puff pastry is a must try. The French onion soup was delicious. The salade L'autre saison was crisp & fresh & the duck confit was so tender. The ambiance & decor was lovely. We didn't have time for dessert this evening, but we will be back another time to try! Thank you for a lovely experience!
Update - We came back for another visit. I recommend the scallops. The sauce was tasty & scallops were cooked perfectly. This time we did have dessert. The tarte tatin (French take on apple pie), was delicious. The ice cream with berries was abundant with fresh berries. Kazim was a charming host as always. Thank you!View more

L'Autre Saison is a place with the decor that reminds me of meals & restaurants in Montmartre, Paris. This place serves excellent dishes which I would definitely rate it as a 5-stars establishment had there been good services. Almost as soon as we walked into the restaurant, the owner's attitude was borderline racially prejudiced against Asians. From the shaking of his head to remarks like "the days of free bread are long gone" or "Is that all you ordered?", he definitely treated us very differently than to the 3 white customers who sat at the table next to ours. Those customers ordered less than we did but were treated with courtesy & friendliness. The owner also came by several times to have small talks with them while totally ignoring us. Service here is a 0 since there is no negative 5 for rating. Food-wise, this place is easily a 4.5 stars. 1. The snails were served in vol-au-vent style with a delicious garlicky creamy sauce. Since it was not served with bread, we had to order a basket of 6 excellent bread rolls at $10.50. 2. The creamy foie gras was excellent & paired real well with the house pinot noir one of us ordered. No, the owner did not suggest anything. 3. The onion soup was good but had too much onions & not enough soup. 4. The duck confit dish is possibly one of the best I've eaten. It rivals with good French restaurants in major cities such as Paris & Washington, D.C.. 5. The tarte tatin served à la mode was delicious. Each bite of apple reminds me of a great bistro in Montmartre. This restaurant offers a great dining experience for non-Asians who would be treated with courtesy & great service. Based on our own experience, I cannot & will not recommend this racially prejudiced restaurant to non whites. In short, there are other French restaurants in Montreal that offers the same level of food quality with much better service.View more

Stumbled upon this restaurant on a walk from our hotel. The proprietor, Kazim was an absolute delight. He made us feel like we were dining in his home. The escargot in a garlicky, mushroom cream sauce was delicious. The rack of lamb was cooked perfectly with an herb crust.View more

Voici un restaurant au décor très classique, disons que ça vise une clientèle assez âgée. Par contre, qu’on aime ou pas le décor, le service est vraiment exemplaire, très discipliner & juste assez présent pour que ça ne soit pas trop dérangeant. A l’image du décor, le menu est très classique, rien de très innovateur. Nous avons commencé avec l’entrée de champignon, tout y était, très bon comme plat. Ensuite, ma conjointe a pris le carré d’agneau qu’elle a adoré & pour ma part j’ai pris les pétoncles sauce épinard, un vrai délice. Dans les 2 cas, la cuisson, les accompagnements & la présentation étaient parfaits, dignes d’un très grand restaurant. La carte des vins est très impressionnante & le prix des grandes bouteilles est très respectable (pour certaines bouteilles seulement 50% de plus chère que la SAQ, mais dans de vieux millésimes). Seul point négatif, lorsqu’on demande de l’eau régulière, il nous charge une bouteille à 7.50$ & cela sans nous en avertir au préalable.
