L’Autre Saison

The food was really good. Furthermore, The owner was very polite and friendly. Really enjoyed it and recommended.

Brought my better half there to celebrate a couple months ago and forgot to leave a review 🍾 Our bar seats were nicely set-up with linens and proper utensils. We were both impressed with every dish. The live piano was a fun atmosphere. The fresh flower bouquets were impressive. Got to meet the chef and also the owner, and since we sat at the bar, I had a drink with the devil 😈 I don't think this is a good place for snobby people or cheap people or abusive people with mental problems, they'll probably refuse to serve you (hence the 1 star reviews). If you're a normal person who enjoys life and have money for a 4 course meal with high-end wine, this place is totally awesome.

Previous review: "Very bad service. I called to place a take-out order as indicated on their website. The person on the line said that the owner was busy and was going to call me back as soon as he’s free. Twenty minutes or so later, I called again to see whether I could actually place an order as I was hoping to have a not so late dinner, and the person at the other end of the line rudely replied by saying that they only take orders at the bar. I am very disappointed with the service. Will probably never eat or try to place an order there again." Owner's reply: "I’m very happy you didn’t get to taste my food because I believe very strongly. You don’t deserve it when I answer the phone. I was very polite to you. I said we take take out order at the counter at the bar. That’s all I said person for that there were so many idiots like you make an order $300/$400/$500 Was prepared end of the day. Nobody came to pick up. Nobody paid our cost either. I’m sorry you get offended, but after reading this review you put on Google. You don’t deserve to be served by us. Have a great life." Following up on my previous review, I am actually quite amazed by the reply that I had to share with the Internet community. I definitely understand that there are some people who make outrageous orders and don't show up to pay or pick up subsequently, which ultimately ends up as sunk costs, to the detriment of the restaurant. I would have understood had it been explained to me the first time (or the second for that matter) in respectful words and not insults like idiots. Be that as it may, when I first called to place an order (after reading on the restaurant's website that they take pickup orders by phone - they are the ones who indicated it themselves unless I am now crazy too on top of being an idiot), I was respectfully told that it was not possible at the moment and that the owner would call me back. Half an hour later, around 8pm, I decided to call back as my window to order a good meal in good restaurants was quickly closing, and that's when I got a rude reply regarding the take up orders at the counter. We may have a difference of opinion, but I maintain that your reply was rude when I called the second time, as opposed to the first time, which was very polite, and I am comforted by your reply here, which is beyond disrespectful. At least we agree on a few things, I don't want to pay a meal from somebody talking to me in that way and insulting me. I hope other customers won't an experience as unpleasant as mine.

Traditional French cuisine. The food, the decor remind me of meals at my grandmother's in Paris! The escargots were not in their shells but they were even better in vol-au-vent with a garlicky creamy sauce. The lamb shank was exactly what mom would make. My wife's soup and fish (black cod) were perfect - best tasting French style fish I've ever had. The live piano, the over-the-top antiques and decor make for a unbeatable retro-lux experience.

Our first visiting. Excellent service, all the staff are friendly and helpful, so does the manger. We ordered salmon and they are well cooked and tasty, the portion is also generous. Absolutely enjoyed the dinner and would recommend.

This is our first time visiting, and I can confidently say it's beyond a 5-star experience. Everything was perfect – the food, hospitality, and the "old man" owner is incredibly kind and generous. I'll definitely be coming back.

Staff was exceptionally friendly, food and service were fantastic. They created custom dishes for us, and the sea food and wine was excellent French cuisine by any standards. The escargot was also uniquely displayed and we'll executed.

My wife and I had our most exceptional dining experience at the L’Autre Saison. The food is delectable and the presentation exquisite. We started with the escargot (simply wonderful). I savored the confit de canard while my wife enjoyed the lobster special, a completely shelled lobster in a cream sauce that was simply splendid. We ended our dinner with the tarte fine aux pommes and a cognac. Though this was our first visit, we were treated like we were long time good friends and felt so welcome and relaxed as so clearly did all the other patrons that night. The service was attentive and courteous. There was a large party celebrating a birthday and the chef brought out a custom cake for them. We all cheered on the birthday gal. This is fine dining at its best. With that being said, if you would like to have the same wonderful experience that we were so lucky to experience I suggest that you should reciprocate the same courtesy and civility to your host as they will do for you. This is five star restaurant and as such make a reservation if you can, even it is last minute. While we did not have reservations, Kazim, the owner, graciously made room for us after we politely inquired how long in advance, we should make reservations. Extending the courtesy of making a reservation, allows Kazim to plan and ensure that the proper accommodations can be made for all his guest. This was truly a wonderful treat for our 25th Anniversary. This now our favorite restaurant, not just in Montreal, but our favorite overall. We will continue to come and visit every chance we get.
