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!
Excellent tasting meal ! Beautiful plates & flavors ! Pass on the wine pairings & choose a bottle !! Each course was a winner. !! dessert was awesome !!
Finalement une opportunité pour les véganes de profiter d'une expérience gastronomique de haute qualité!
Excellent service, bonne ambiance & la qualité des plats (dégustation 5 services), avec le pairing des vins était parfait!
This restaurant transcends having a meal into an experience. The tasting menu (we had both Vegan & Omnivore) was divine & the wine pairing was simply perfect. How they manage to pair wines for both vegan & ominvore simultaneously was remarkable. The plating was sublime, but the pièce de résistance was the service. The staff were kind & attentive & we truly felt that they cared about our experience. It was a perfect dining event in a delightful setting.
Once again, this place delivers an evening to remember! fin staff, knowledgeable servers & great sommelier. Interesting delicious plates & nice wine pairing. Absolutely beautiful decor & confortable seating (we were at the bar). I just love this little gem.
Amazing service from the staff who were very friendly, helpful, fun, & knowledgeable. Delicious food & drinks (vegan tasting menu w/ non-alcoholic pairing) - maybe some of the best I've ever had! The freshest ingredients creatively combined into layers of flavourful pairings beyond imagination for both food & drinks - absolutely fantastic & divine! Will definitely be returning next time I'm in Quebec.
An absolutely wonderful experience at Bistro L'Orygine. Visiting to celebrate our anniversary, this was a highlight of our trip o Quebec City. From the beginning, it was clear this would be a special experience: not only did they call ahead to confirm our reservation, they were able to adjust by a day because my partner was feeling ill on the day of. Bistro L'Orygine also took steps to accommodate a Gluten Free request as part of their Vegan tasting menu. Not being a gastrophile, & thus unable to give an "educated review" of the food, let me say this: each plate & pairing of the Discovery Menu (one of us had the vegan, the other omnivore) was absolutely wonderful. Each dish was prepared with care, the flavours really highlighted a balance of local fare, & the plates were a perfect size. The broth & noodles were cravable, the duck was perfect, & the squash dessert was so flavourful.
Each pairing was perfect. The service was impeccable. While "pricey," (it's a dinner in Old Quebec City, so please expect that!), it was incredible value for the meal & experience. We'll visit again on our return to Quebec City.
