Stumbled on this place while search for dinner in old Montreal with a local friend. He hadn't been before but will return. Great wine list, big enough menu that nearly all will find something to enjoy, excellent bilingual service and great presentation. On a nice evening the rear courtyard is great, you'll think you are in Europe.

Old Montreal is hard to beat. L'Autre Version is a great little restaurant with that typical charm. The food is predictably excellent. Plus they offer beers from the microbrewer, Le Diable. The others in our party had wine, and there are many to choose from, naturally. There is an outdoor courtyard, which looks very pleasant, however the weather was not... More

We had the Tasting Menu, and it was well worth the steep price. There were about 8 courses, and each (except one) came with a matched wine. The food was excellent - small portions of octopus, scallops, duck breast, buffalo and more. The highlight was a very small but amazing foie gras. The service was fantastic - our waiter clearly...

My forever man and I found this restaurant during an afternoon walk in Le Vieux Montreal just a few days ago. He was craving foie gras and I was craving scallops, 2 items not hard to find in Montreal restaurants. But, for some reason, the description on the menu outside L'Autre Version showed a unique presentation of these foods that... More

One of the few decent restaurants open on a Monday lunchtime. The two course table d'hote is excellent value, with an imaginative ever-changing menu. Less convinced by the puddings. But overall a delightfully well run , efficient and pleasant eating place in the Old Town.

We attended this restaurant on March 2nd 2013. We were very disapointed with the quality and quantity of the food. To be honest the entrée of Octopus was excellent and the entrée of beets and goat cheese was quite good. The main dish of beef was returned by 2 of our group as it was dry and overcooked. To their...

Imaginative menu, superb execution, great wine list, great location ... L'Autre Version is my favorite place to take people, whether with personal friends or business visitors, to showcase modern Montreal.
