We were celebrating & were not disappointed by our experience. I had the guinea fowl entree & the fennel ice cream paied with the tarragon cake. Very unique creations & fantastic to see the variety on the whole menu especially with the vegan options. Great work Chef & the team. Service was top notch too - the wine pairings suggested were just right.
Can't say enough about our honeymoon tasting menu experience at l'Orygine, which was recommended to me by my private club's general manager.
The experience surpassed all expectations, both on the menu & wine pairings; the maitre d' was world-class, & we had the opportunity to sample unbelievable Quebec ingredients we simply do not have access to in Toronto.
Bravo to all involved - an unforgettable experience.

We had an exceptional meal at L'Orygine. Every dish was incredible by every measure. Textures were a hit, sauce flavours were mouth-watering, & the dishes were very innovative (popcorn w/ corn sauce, cucumber spheres). The pork belly was the best I've ever tasted - tender, juicy, fat exploding with flavour. The cocktails & wine we had were equally tasty.
Some minor service lapses - dish explanations with little enthusiasm & a forgotten wine pairing with a dish. Despite this, the quality of the dishes easily stood out & we can't wait to return.
Had an amazing dinner at Bistro L'Orygine! The food was outstanding & made with fresh local ingredients. The wine pairings were spot-on, & I loved that they included some great Quebec wines. The covered outdoor seating with a cozy fireplace made for a really nice atmosphere. Definitely worth a visit!
One of the best restaurant experiences I've had in the Province of Quebec or anywhere. The staff was knowledgeable, pleasant, prompt, & professional. Known for its tasting menu & wine pairings, it was a real experience with unique combinations of tastes & food items served in a unique environment both indoor & outdoor. We were unexpectedly & delightfully treated to two glasses of red wine when there was a slight delay between two courses, a delay we had not even noticed. The mark of well trained, customer focused staff. I will definitely go back!

A zillion stars! This sits as one of the top three dining experiences of all-time - not just because of the unforgettable food, but also the passionate, friendly, engaging service. They went absolutely above & beyond, not only accommodating my gluten free preference & severe garlic & onion allergy, but using the opportunity to get really creative & offer dish after dish of amazing surprises. We ordered the 6 course Menu Découverte with wine pairing, & the care & intention that went into every course was felt & so delightful.
A huge thanks to Chef & team for your unmatched hospitality. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a fabulous local food experience, & certainly for foodies with dietary accommodations. You won't be disappointed!
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.
