Une superbe expérience culinaire au restaurant L'Orygine ! Un service chaleureux & attentionné, qui met en valeur une cuisine raffinée. Les huîtres, qu'elles soient chaudes ou froides, étaient tout simplement savoureuses, sublimées par un verre de Talisker 10 ans. Quoi demander de mieux ? Un vrai plaisir pour les amateurs de produits locaux, car l'établissement met brillamment de l'avant les richesses gastronomiques canadiennes. Une adresse à ne pas manquer !
I don't usually write reviews, but after dining here, I couldn't sleep without sharing my experience. I hate that it has set the bar so high for other restaurants, & I wish I could visit more often (first time in Quebec City). The Ambiance: Aesthetically pleasing & incredibly cozy, without feeling cramped in the slightest. The Food: Chef Sabrina Lemay is a culinary virtuoso. The harmony of interesting flavors invites you to savor each bite mindfully. The availability of well-executed vegan versions of many dishes (priced fairly, based on substituted ingredients) is a phenomenal, inclusive touch & a refreshing departure from the afterthought vegan options seen in many restaurants. They even managed to make raw oysters appealing to those averse to their texture. The Service: The best service I've ever received. The staff were professional yet warm & welcoming, ensuring everything was catered to with care & impeccable timing, without ever feeling intrusive. I never had to call on them once. On my way out, every waiter I passed wished me a good evening-despite being busy with other tables. We ordered fresh oysters, braised seitan & sunchoke, confit apple doughnut, & drinks. We also loved the complimentary amuse-bouches & mignardises, as well as the coupon for two free drinks during Sunday brunch. Looks like we'll be canceling our reservation elsewhere for Sunday & heading to l'Orygine instead. Update: We did go back.
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.
Notre coup de coeur à chaque fois qu'on visite la ville de Québec. Tous les plats sont à couper le souffle! Il n'y a pas assez d'adjectifs pour décrire les merveilleuses créations. La combinaison d'aliments frais, de qualité & variés offre une véritable symphonie de saveurs, un plaisir à chaque bouchée. Un amour incomparable pour l'établissement & tous les employés.
Cuisine superbe & rapport qualité-prix imbattable. Produits locaux mis en avant avec succès. Service impeccable, sans chichis. Bref il faut y aller pour vérifier que ce je dis est vrai. @+
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.
Le service était incroyable. Le staff accueillant, sympathique & connaisseur. La nourriture est complètement divine. Nous avons pris le menu dégustation, moi celui vegan & wow. J'ai également beaucoup d'allergie alimentaire (noix arachides & plusieurs autres) & ils ont su ajuster le menu en conséquence sans perdre la qualité de celui ci. Leurs choix de vin est impeccable lorsqu'on prend l'accord met & vin. Le restaurant est très bien décoré, la présentation des plats incroyable. Ça vaux le détour !
