Review Summary

L'Orygine offers a remarkable dining destination in Quebec City, celebrated for its creative use of fresh, local ingredients and a thoughtful approach to seasonal menus. Many guests praise the elegant atmosphere and the meticulous attention provided by the staff, who are frequently noted for their warmth, professionalism, and ability to accommodate various dietary restrictions with care and creativity. The discovery tasting menu, complemented by both wine and non-alcoholic pairings, stands out as a highlight for many visitors seeking a refined culinary journey. While experiences can vary based on individual tastes regarding flavor intensity and pacing, the restaurant remains a favored spot for special celebrations and those looking to explore innovative, locally focused gastronomy.

Extremely disappointed. We wanted to have a special dinner for our last night in Quebec: we chose L'Orygine. Where do I begin. We both ordered the 5 course tasting menu along with the prestige wine.. we were served incorrect plates, one containing meat.. my girlfriend is a vegetarian, & she ate it thinking it was vegan friendly. your restaurant decided to restart the experience stating that you will start from the first course.. it took another hour to see a simple appetizer plate lol by the time we got the first course we weren't even hungry anymore. Our reservation was at 8:15, we left the restaurant at 11pm.. the service was terrible, your staff was very confused on what table was to get what plates, the kitchen was very slow & you messed up our order (both food & wine), it ruined our night.. we are thorough disappointed. For a restaurant that displays all these awards, it was in fact the worst restaurant we ate at during our entire trip. Will not recommend to friends & family. I paid a $400 bill for a terrible meal & terrible experience.. not worth the cost whatsoever. Sorry but not sorry.

Our entire family, including our 10 year old son, chose the tasting menu. My husband & I chose the Canadian wine pairing, while our son chose the non-alcoholic pairing option. We all agreed that it was the best meal of our lives! Each course was stupendous, & the wine & mocktail pairings were absolutely perfect. It was well worth the splurge!

The food was terrible. The wine was worse. Do not take the tasting menu unless you have an iron stomach. I think the owner is laughing at us for paying so much for so little.

We had a large group of 9. We sat at the festive round table in the middle. We all ordered the tasting menu with the wine pairing. Everything was excellent. The scallop ceviche & the venison stood out but all courses were unique, fresh & so tasty! The wine pairings were perfect. Our service was attentive & informative & fun! We thoroughly enjoyed our evening! Our only disappointment was hoping to sit on the terrace but due to the rain we could not & our table inside was very festive!

Amazing meal! We enjoyed the chef omnivore tasting menu paired with really interesting wine choices. Each food course - carpaccio, lobster bisque with turnip purée, tender venison was perfectly balanced & not over prepared. Wines of excellent quality - burgundy white perfect, cab from okanagan so good! & space beautiful, highly recommend!!!

Everything we had was immaculately presented & to top it off the service we received was top notch. Highlights of our tasting menu were the Potato carpaccio & hazelnut ice cream at end of meal. Spectacular.

Lovely service from all staffs. We took the tasting menu (regular & vegetarian). Both were delicious & presentation was absolutely beautiful. Highly recommended especially if you're looking for casual ambience with local food!

Food, wine list & friendliness of staff were outstanding. Speed of service was extremely slow (we had been seated for one hour before the first plates were served). Overall it took two hours for us to consume two plates. Portions are small so plan on 2-3 plates per person. Bread is only served upon request. We were disappointed that the "discovery" tasting menu is only served if all members of a dinner party select it. We had two of four who desired it but were unable to.
