Fabulous! Such imaginative & creative cuisine! I chose the tasting menu with the local wine pairings. All of the dishes were beautifully presented, & had amazing combinations of flavors & textures, making each a voyage of discovery. The wines, too, were nuanced, & a refreshing change from the usually French-dominated fare. Very attentive & friendly service, & a delightful ambiance. Highest marks!
This was our first time at l'Origine, & we all loved it. Three of us had the vegan discovery menu, & one had the omnivore discovery menu. The dishes, presentations, & explanations of the dishes were fantastic! The service & attention to details was impressive. The atmosphere & decor were also great. I highly recommend it for a beautiful evening out.
We liked the vibe/decor, nice & colorful, greenery to make a pleasant atmosphere. The service was attentive. The food was fresh, but fell short of wowing me with any exquisite flavors. Overall milder dishes. Nothing stands out in my memory & it hasn't been a week since we ate there. Too expensive for a forgetful meal. Nice but not outstanding, for the money I feel they can do alot better.
An extremely pleasant experience from start to finish. From the moment we entered & were greeted warmly,to our server & mixologist & those that brought out our dishes. The meals were delicious & they accommodate a meat eater,vegetarian & a pescatarian in our group of three. Everyone thouroughly enjoyed their meals & the taste was exceptional. My only complaint, I wish the portions were larger. I can't wait to return as the chef changes the menu often & there is always something new. What a wonderful concept.
Amazing service. I took the discovery menu (Vegetarian & Vegan courses) with the person I was going with & we couldn't have been more satisfied!! The non-alcoholic pairings went great with the dishes.
Very creative dishes, but fairly mild tasting. Some of the elements, for example the pesto that was in a couple of dishes, could have had more flavor (salt, garlic, lemon. etc. to bring out the flavours).
Wow! Exceeded my expectations which were already high as the menu looked amazing. I would even say this restaurant is on par with Alo in Toronto (top in Canada). Such creative dishes beautifully plated with excellent service. LOVE that they have vegetarian & vegan options for the tasting menu. The decor & ambience are also top for sure!! You MUST go!!
As an english speaking visitor in Quebec City, with minimal functional french to use, the staff at L'Orygine went to their every effort to work with our table & communicate their dishes & cocktails. Beyond that great kindness, the staff were knowledgeable; talented; passionate & professional. Their service was unmatched, & they made our dinning experience just that-an experience.
The meal & drinks were phenomenal, beautiful flavours paired well with expertly made cocktails & chosen wines. It was a meal that left you thinking about booking your next reservation.
