Les Saisons de Corée — Restaurant in Montreal

Les Saisons de Corée emerged as a serendipitous discovery on an evening stroll through the city, as we were on a quest for Bibimbap and stumbled upon this gem by pure chance. This quaint restaurant, hidden away from the bustling streets, offers a slice of Korea, albeit with a caveat for accessibility – it is completely unreachable for those unable to navigate stairs, presenting a significant barrier for some.

Upon entry, one can't help but notice the restaurant's modest size. The interior is snug, fostering a cozy atmosphere, yet this closeness comes with its drawbacks. Tables are arranged a tad too closely, creating a slightly cramped dining experience. Notably, one table sits uncomfortably close to a beverage refrigerator, a minor inconvenience that becomes apparent as staff frequently navigate past diners to access it. This, however, is a small price to pay for the culinary journey that awaits.

The service at Les Saisons de Corée is polite and functional, if not particularly remarkable. Staff members are courteous and efficient, ensuring that diners' needs are met with a level of adequacy that complements the dining experience without necessarily enhancing it.

The true star of Les Saisons de Corée, however, is undeniably its cuisine. The menu is a vibrant tapestry of Korean dishes, each promising an authentic taste of Korean culinary tradition. Ingredients are selected with care, emphasizing freshness and quality, which shine through in the authentically delicious flavors that grace each dish. Portion sizes strike a perfect balance between satisfying and reasonable, ensuring that diners leave feeling content without feeling overwhelmed.

The value offered by Les Saisons de Corée is exceptional, considering the quality of the dishes served. This balance of cost to quality makes every meal not just a dining experience but an investment in culinary delight. It's this combination of authentic flavors, thoughtful presentation, and fair pricing that has cemented Les Saisons de Corée as one of our go-to establishments for dining out, a place where the essence of Korea is served with every dish, inviting diners to return time and again to partake in its...

With 15 years of operation under their belt, this restaurant truly knows how to deliver rich flavors and comforting dishes. ✨

One of the highlights of our visit was their signature dish, Dakgalbi. The chicken is marinated to perfection and stir-fried with an array of vegetables, all infused with a delightful spice that keeps you coming back for more. 🔥🍗 Also, the use of broth in the soups adds a depth of flavor that makes each spoonful a comforting delight. 🍲💖

The chef, with 30 years of experience running multiple restaurants in Korea, has truly mastered his craft.

We highly recommend trying: Tofu Kimchi, which is a delightful combination of flavors and textures. 🥬😍 The Somyun, available with seasquid or bai top shell, is another must-try that perfectly balances taste and freshness. 🦑 And don’t miss the Dogani Sooyuk—this dish takes a painstaking eight hours to prepare, and you can taste the care and attention that goes into it. ⏳👌 And if you’re in the mood for something spicy, the Jjambbong comes highly recommended by locals, while the Soondubu soup is perfect for those seeking a warm, hearty...

I would give this a one star rating, but the only reason I'm giving it two stars is because of the cheap prices of alcohol. First of all, the food there is absolutely terrible. I frequently go to Korean restaurants, and I can confidently say that this is the worst one in Montreal! I ordered their cheese tteoboki, butter squid, dak galbi with cheese and their special of chicken wings. All of the above tasted awful except the dak galbi which was okay. Their tteoboki was disgusting! The sauce was so watery and tasteless. For the butter squid...I expected a real squid to come out...but what came out was a processed squid snack topped with butter...a complete waste of money. Finally for the chicken wings..they were not seasoned at all and came with no sauce. When I asked to have some sauce, since the picture in the menu clearly comes with sauce, they said that I would have to pay extra. The young waiters are fine, but the old lady that served us was so rude! If you want to eat, go somewhere else! I would only recommend going there to drink, since their...
