A hidden gem! The service is impeccable & the food perfect. A lovely, quiet elegance with attentive but not intrusive service. Highly recommend for a wonderful experience!

The food was excellent.... The scallop dish & lamb shank were perfectly executed & every accompanying component to each dish treated with respect & presented beautifully... The wine list was extensive & impressive... An old school classic French dining experience in a comfortable classy atmosphere. Attentive service, & in addition I was even fortunate enough to receive a valuable lesson on napkin placement etiquette. If I had but one concern it would be that the crème brûlée was not properly caramelized, but it was a minor concern in the scope of the overall dining experience.

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.

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!

This place is fantastic! Service was excellent, & every dish was spot on. We shared two orders the escargot & they split it up individually for us. Duck, lamb shank, shrimp & beef rib, all super yummy. Will definitely return next time in Montreal.

Would have loved to have gone here while we were in town, but with no phone number on the website we wandered over only to find a sign taped to the door that they were closed for a month. It would have been great if the website could have put a note about that up on their website. Otherwise, we're excited to visit again in the future.

Not only does the delicious meal make you feel amazing, but the sincere conversation with Mr. Kazim enhances the experience even further. I haven't had such a delicious French Onion soup even in Paris. If you truly want to taste exquisite meals in a great atmosphere, where you & your meal are genuinely cared for, & you are a nice person (this is a requirement to get in :) ), you must visit this place. Thank you for such a great experience ❤️
