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!

Chic but comfortable. The vibe is fantastic & the food is even better. Tasting menu is fab, scallops are a revelation. Ice is crystal clear, wine is spectacular & service is superb. Go forth & enjoy! Thanks to Phil for an amazing evening!

I can't say enough good things about this restaurant! The first time we went was for New Year's Eve in 2019 at the recommendation of our hotel's concierge, & we were absolutely blown away by the quality of the food & service. We went again this week with friends of ours (also for NYE), & once again, it was absolutely excellent. We had some dietary restrictions to deal with, but the chef was incredibly accommodating, & we had no issues getting delicious meals that met our respective needs. In spite of it being a 7 or 8-course tasting menu with various dietary restrictions, everything came out well prepared in a timely manner. The only thing that I think was better last time around was the mocktail pairing menu. In 2019 it felt like the mocktails were a little more flavorful & way less sweet, which I preferred, but other than that, everything was delicious & very creative. I highly recommend L'Orygine & wouldn't hesitate to go back again!

This lovely bistro was located just around the corner from our excellent hotel (Auberge Saint Antoine) in the Old City of Quebec. Coming in from the cold we were met with such a marvelous warm staff, delicious food & a soothing atmosphere. We opted for the tasting menu. All the dishes came from the menu. It was a terrific way of sampling a wide variety. I'll warn you: it is a lot of food, so come with a full appetite if you go that direction. Stand outs are the cocktails & a lovely veal sweetbreads dish. This a place where you'll want to linger ...save some time to savor it all.

We did not enjoy the tasting menu & found most of it to be not tasteful or appetizing.

Very nice high-end restaurant in Quebec. Offers vegan & non-vegan tasting menu with alcoholic & non-alcoholic drink pairings. Excellent experience & great food.
