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!
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.

Amazing service & food, beautiful setting, extensive & solid wine list. The very attentive personnel makes the experience a delight, & the piano nights ( Friday & Saturday) really sets the tone. PS: the Digby sourced scallops are a bliss, cooked to perfection.
The interior design was elegant & exquisite, creating a truly beautiful & sophisticated atmosphere. The live piano music made the whole dining experience feel even more special & memorable. The service was amazing - attentive, professional, & warm from beginning to end. The seafood was absolutely delicious, the wine selection was excellent, & the dessert was the perfect ending to a wonderful evening. One of the best dining experiences in Montreal.
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 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.
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…
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.
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.
