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.
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!
Me & my Father ate here when visiting Montreal our first night, & we walked in to a beautiful restaurant with a live piano. We were greeted by the most amazing host/server Mayghann. She was extremely knowledgeable of the food & wine, & gave us the best recommendations for beer, appetizers, entrees & dinner! All the while having the best personality! The food was phenomenal, & the service was some of the best I've ever seen (& this is coming from a top professional of the service industry myself). I would recommend anyone & everyone to eat here! You will not regret it.
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.
We had a great experience here. We came for lunch & absolutely loved it. The food was excellent & the owner personally greeted us & was very entertaining. We will definitely be back & 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.
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!
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.
