Review Summary

L'Autre Saison is widely regarded as a charming and classic French dining destination in Montreal, celebrated for its elegant townhouse setting, romantic atmosphere, and live piano music. Many patrons praise the restaurant for its high-quality cuisine, including standout dishes like escargots, rack of lamb, and perfectly cooked salmon, often complemented by an extensive wine list. While the majority of diners highlight the warm, attentive, and professional service provided by the staff and owners, which contributes to a memorable and welcoming experience, some guests have expressed concerns regarding pricing, perceived inconsistencies in service, and rigid dining policies. Despite a few mixed reviews about the owner's unconventional hospitality style, the establishment remains a popular recommendation for special occasions, date nights, and those seeking an authentic culinary experience in the heart of the city.

My friend & I had the most wonderful dining experience here & would recommend highly. From the moment we arrived, we were made to feel welcome & at home as guests & friends rather than just customers. The food was absolutely excellent so very high praise to the chef/owner & his team but what made it all even better was the amazing service we received from Meghan. She recommended food & wine & was utterly charming. We are sorry we didn't discover this wonderful restaurant sooner but will definitely be back on our next trip to Montreal. Thank you for such a lovely evening!

Everything about this restaurant was exceptional - the food, the service, & the atmosphere were all top notch. We dined as a group of seven, & every single person in our party was raving about their meal. It's a classic French dining experience where every detail is cared for. The dishes were not only delicious but clearly prepared with love & passion. The staff truly take pride in what they do, creating a warm, welcoming, & memorable experience from start to finish. Highly recommend!

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.

My wife & I & another couple had dinner here while visiting Montreal last week (we are from Ontario & they are from England). We all agreed we had one of the best French dining experiences we have had in a very long time. The owner was funny, charming & engaging, while the décor was both cozy & classy, but not pretentious. Service was prompt & attentive. Particular standouts from the menu were the French onion soup & the duck confit. Five stars all around. Highly recommended.

I brought my daughter & wife here for dinner & it was a delightful experience. The scenery is very worldly & interesting. The staff was great to talk to. The beef is the best I've ever tasted & this is coming from someone who has tried $1000 kobe beef in Japan! The owner is also a very interesting & kind person. Highly recommended!
