L'Autre Saison se spécialise dans les techniques culinaires françaises raffinées en mettant l'accent sur les produits de la mer frais et les préparations crues complexes. Le menu met en valeur des poissons découpés avec précision et des plats de tartare assaisonnés, conçus pour souligner les textures naturelles d'ingrédients de première qualité. Les préparations culinaires privilégient l'équilibre, utilisant des profils d'assaisonnement classiques qui respectent les saveurs intrinsèques des protéines marines. Chaque assiette démontre une expertise technique, de la sélection des produits de la mer de haut grade aux accompagnements minutieusement calibrés qui rehaussent chaque composant. L'ambiance reste structurée et axée sur l'interaction entre la méthodologie française traditionnelle et les normes de dressage modernes. La clientèle découvre une carte où l'intégrité des matières premières dirige la production en cuisine, assurant une expérience gastronomique délibérée et cohérente.
L'Autre Saison est largement considéré comme une destination française authentique et charmante à Montréal, appréciée pour son atmosphère élégante, sa musique de piano live et son décor sophistiqué de maison de ville. De nombreux convives louent les offres culinaires, en particulier les escargots, la soupe à l'oignon et les protéines préparées avec expertise comme l'agneau et le saumon, souvent accompagnées d'une carte des vins bien choisie. Bien que la plupart des clients soulignent le service chaleureux et attentionné ainsi que l'engagement personnel des propriétaires comme les points forts de leur visite, une petite minorité de convives a exprimé des réserves concernant le professionnalisme du service, les prix du menu ou les politiques de facturation rigides. Dans l'ensemble, cela reste un choix prisé pour les dîners romantiques et les occasions spéciales où les clients apprécient une expérience gastronomique classique et intime.
Wonderful French restaurant in Montreal! 🇫🇷✨
The atmosphere here is absolutely amazing, especially with the live piano music that made the evening feel truly special & romantic. The beautiful, elegant interior creates a real French dining experience. The escargots were incredibly delicious - definitely some of the best I've ever had. The salmon with mushrooms in white wine was also outstanding, perfectly cooked & full of flavor.
Special thanks for the excellent service - the staff was attentive, professional, & made the whole evening even more enjoyable. A perfect place for a memorable dinner with great ambiance, beautiful piano music, & fantastic food. We will definitely come back again!
Honestly, I'd rate this 0 stars if I could. A serious lack of respect from this place. They just lost two customers who happily went next door instead. & surprisingly, no French spoken at all.

I would like to put 0 stars but i can't unfortunately. These guys should learn the definition of the term'respect' because they just lost 2 customers who actually went to the right next door restaurant. These guys don't even speak french, what an irony.
Big YIKES. My partner & I (visibly queer) walked into this restaurant after looking up good French restaurants & seeing their menu. We went inside & right away were thrown off by the weird energy. There was one table yet the waiter had to go do a loop to go to if he could seat us. After seeing all the reviews about the blatant racism it makes sense as it was giving homophobia. Save your money & walk down the street to Weinstein & Gavino's- immaculate vibes, immaculate service. Ask for Sebastian- you're welcome!
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!

I was just wandering around the neighborhood & discovered this hidden gem of restaurant. This was by far one of the best meals & dining experiences I've had in Montreal.
The meal started off with delicious warm complementary bread & bruschetta, followed by the French onion soup & Salade L'Autre Saison appetizers which were delicious & very generously portioned. The salad was put together impeccably, topped with a large block of brie that was fresh & savory. The French onion soup was the best I've had in this city.
Our main meals consisted of steak & the poached salmon in white mushroom sauce. The steak was cooked perfectly, extremely tender & whose flavor was enhanced by the bold red wine sauce. The salmon was cooked beautifully & paired nicely with the glass of Pinot Noir recommended by the owner. The warm apple tart a la mode recommended by the owner was the perfect ending to this amazing meal.
For those that have an interest in ambience, be prepared to enter a classic, romantic French townhome. With an unbelievable array of collectibles, including artwork & violins, you very well might be in Louis the XIV's Palace of Versailles.
There's a reason why the owner / chef duo have been in business for 50 years: delectable food in a gorgeous Parisian style townhouse served by gracious staff that all take pride in what they've built. I'll be back here multiple times on all my visits to Montreal.
When I worked for a large software company a few years ago, I was coming up to Montreal from Chicago on a regular basis, & I ate at L'autre Saison pretty regularly. I always ate at the bar because I felt funny taking up a table just by myself. I brought a colleague there once, & a couple of years later I brought my wife, daughter, sister & her husband up here for a trip & couldn't wait to take them to this place. Always amazing food & service, & one of the owners regularly takes care of you. Last night I brought my wife for an incredible romantic dinner. French onion soup, escargot, filet mignon, & cod. He even made her a custom martini.
The decor, the music, the service, always top notch. I've probably eaten here over a dozen times now & always stupendous. This is an absolute must-visit place for any special dinner.
We had a truly memorable dinner at L'Autre Saison-easily one of the best meals we've had in Montreal in quite some time. The atmosphere strikes a perfect balance: warm & elegant, yet relaxed & unpretentious, making it ideal for a special night out without feeling overly formal.
I ordered the lamb shank, which was incredibly tender & bursting with flavor, while my wife enjoyed the black cod, one of the evening's specials-both dishes were outstanding. Portions were generous, & every plate was beautifully presented.
The menu offers a wide variety of appealing options, & our server, Troy (the owner's son), elevated the experience with his friendly, attentive service & excellent recommendations.
Dessert was a standout & a perfect sweet finish to the meal.
The wine list is thoughtfully curated with plenty of choices to cater to one's pallet & pocketbook. There's a handsome bar tucked at the rear of the dining room, offering a more casual way to enjoy the same refined cuisine & ambiance.
Prices are well aligned with the quality of food & service.
If you're a fan of French cuisine-or simply looking for a hidden gem in Montreal-L'Autre Saison is absolutely worth a visit.
