Wonderful experience starting with the warm welcome from all of the staff & a detailed description of all offerings. There is a focus on sourcing the best local ingredients. Each course of the tasting menu was artfully plated & the tastes were phenomenal. My favourite from the omnivore menu was the guinea fowl! Wine & cocktail pairings were well matched. Beautiful terrace setting. Heated for your comfort. A wonderful romantic spot for a night. Thank you to the staff for be attentive but also allowing us to linger between courses. We will be back.

Amazing & creative dishes that the Kitchen made to work with our food intolerances.The pairing of wines with the dishes just made it all the more better. The Wait Staff was wonderful in explaining which each dish comprised of & would answer any question we had. The atmosphere had a beautiful peaceful tone that just made our night even more special! Cannot wait to visit Quebec City again & this wonderful gem of a restaurant!

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.

The wine pairing was superb. All the dishes were well thought out & elegant. Shiitake brine with the dirty martini was exceptional.

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.

WOW we were absolutely charmed by the staff attention, the creativity & beautiful presentation of each dishes..

Remarkable experience for all our senses in a relax atmosphere without pretentiousness..

A charming culinary adventure we choose when we decided to do the 5 courses dinner with wine pairing...

I have been raving about our experience... It was our first visit & I am looking forward to return to Quebec city to have the privilege to revisit your culinary magical creations..

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!
