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!

The food, drinks & wine were incredible! I have to say that the discovery menu was an amazing experience. My girlfriend is english & does not speak french, & every single person we interacted with made sure to describe the food/wine/drinks in english for her to understand. Very friendly & professional staff, this restaurant is a gem of Quebec City! Will definitly be coming back!

Had the wine pairing 6 course meal & was delightfully impressed. Waited by William who was exceptionally knowledgeable while going through the courses. Co-Owner M. Veilleux, was very welcoming & made me feel comfortable as soon as I entered L'Orygine. Lastly, Hats off to the chef & sommelier for an amazing experience!

Our dinner was excellent! Sampson & the other staff are talented, professional & gracious & the food was excellent. We did the tasting menu with wine. Well worth the price. The chef & team are celebrating & honoring the region with their passion & cooking.

My wife & I had identified this restaurant as one we would like to visit on our trip through Canada & North East USA.

We arrived in town & made our way to the old quarter but the restaurant only opens at 5pm. So we did our sightseeing which included a 15 mile round trip bike ride. We called in on our way back to the hotel to see if we could get at table later, after we’d had a chance to change. The maitre d told us we could even eat now, despite our attire. So we figured why not?

The evening was a great experience. The staff were really excellent. I tried a little French & they were polite & friendly. We decided on the 6 course sampler, with an emphasis on vegetarian but with some fish.

What followed was a taste bud bonanza. Each plate was both beautifully presented & explained by the server, paired wonderfully with our drinks & in fact ended up being 7 courses as they chef had tried out a new dish! The servers, the manager all came over to check with us, recommend drinks etc.

I had a local cider, my wife a couple of local beers. Neither of us do well with wine!

The menu was thoughtful, the service was outstanding the ambience was a laid back chic vibe.

If I could give this place more stars then I would.

A M A Z I N G ! ! ! We did the tasting menu & wine pairing. It was beyond delicious. My partner is pescatarian & they adapted hers to be the vegan options + the fish options which was perfect. Incredible use of vegetables & ingredients. This was a perfect anniversary date dinner.

What a treat this was! We did the omnivore tasting menu with the “oryginal” wine pairing. Most of the dishes were some of the best I’ve had ever at a restaurant. The eggplant tacos, halibut, & duck were favorites. Pumpkin cake with raspberries & cream was delectable!! We loved the introduction to wines from the region. The herbal mint/parsnip tea was a surprising welcome at the end of the meal. Veal crudo was a bit of a miss for us but that could be a matter of personal preference. The staff worked together to serve & they were polite & informative, but they seemed as if they had been there for a while & just seemed tired. Lovely, lovely outdoor patio set in this ancient Old Quebec building. So idyllic. From where we sat, we got a glimpse of the St Lawrence river but there were other tables that had a more direct view. I can’t wait to return when we make another trip here soon!! Until then, Thank you for a wonderful evening!
