A zillion stars! This sits as one of the top three dining experiences of all-time - not just because of the unforgettable food, but also the passionate, friendly, engaging service. They went absolutely above & beyond, not only accommodating my gluten free preference & severe garlic & onion allergy, but using the opportunity to get really creative & offer dish after dish of amazing surprises. We ordered the 6 course Menu Découverte with wine pairing, & the care & intention that went into every course was felt & so delightful.

A huge thanks to Chef & team for your unmatched hospitality. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a fabulous local food experience, & certainly for foodies with dietary accommodations. You won't be disappointed!

I often give out 5 stars but they are relative. A good food truck 5 star obviously not the same as a nice restaurant. L'Orygine however is a 5 star on any scale. We had the tasting menu & wine pairing. Unbelievable!!!! Service was extremely attentive & accommodating. So very happy we found this spot.

Had an incredible dinner here! Service, ambiance, food were all amazing. We did the tasting menu. I have celiac so mine was made completely gluten-free & they took it very seriously. My husband had the vegan one & loved his food as well! Also nice to see a non-alcoholic wine pairing option.

This place is a gem. The tasting menu (vegan version) with wine pairing was spectacular.

Bistro L'Orygine was an outstanding dining experience. My husband & I opted for the tasting menu, where the chef selects each dish for you. While they accommodate food allergies or preferences, we allowed them full creative freedom, & every course was a delight. We enjoyed six courses, plus a special addition, & each item was excellent. The staff was wonderful & attentive, providing detailed descriptions of each dish that sounded like poetry. This was truly a dining experience, not just a meal. Time & price shouldn't be a concern-this is a 2.5 -hour, premium experience. My husband went with the wine pairing, while I enjoyed a couple of delicious cocktails. Our service was efficient & informative throughout. If you're looking for a memorable culinary journey, Bistro L'Orygine is well worth it!

The halibut, tagliatelle, white wine beurre blanc was the only dish that felt confused, the meal was amazing as well as each of its individual parts, but might be capable of being two dishes in one. The veal tataki (& its vegetarian counter part enjoyed by my partner) was a mutually agreed to be an absolute orgasmic experience. Otherwise the experience starting with the music, to the cocktail pairings, to the staffs kindness & warmth, was 5 stars!! Thank you!

I give this Restaraunt a 5 out 5 star. We came for dinner our first night in Quebec & had the pairing menu accompanied by the premium wine pairing option. Everything was amazing, the atmosphere, the food, the service & the attention to detail are all matched. We are back again for an afternoon cocktail. The creativity that has gone into every part of this establishment creates the most memorable experience.

Bistro l'Orygine in Quebec City offers a wonderful dining experience with its beautifully designed decor that sets a relaxed & elegant mood. I accidentally booked our reservation for the wrong month, but the host was incredibly accommodating & managed to find us a table, which we greatly appreciated. We opted for the 5 course dinner with a non-alcoholic pairing. The food was good overall, with some dishes standing out more than others. While it wasn't the best meal we've ever had, the experience was enjoyable, & the thoughtful service really made a difference. Bistro l'Orygine is a lovely spot to spend an evening, especially if you're looking for a place with great ambiance & attentive staff.

The menu changes based on what is available. The service was excellent with staff explaining all the ingredients & preparation of the dish. The wine pairing was great. The warm hand towels before the meal was a nice touch. Everyone in our group loved their food. Be certain to book a reservation.

I cannot say enough good things about this place. We did the 6 course discovery meal with local wine pairing. The chef let's you choose your level of plant-based (i.e. vegan, vegetarian, pescatarian, omnivorous). We chose pescatarian as that's primarily our choice. The wines were incredible & the food was delicious. The service was amazing & the vibes of old Quebec were one of a kind. I used to think fine dining was pretentious & silly but l'orygine has entirely changed that. I look forward to my next meal with them.
