An absolutely wonderful experience at Bistro L'Orygine. Visiting to celebrate our anniversary, this was a highlight of our trip o Quebec City. From the beginning, it was clear this would be a special experience: not only did they call ahead to confirm our reservation, they were able to adjust by a day because my partner was feeling ill on the day of. Bistro L'Orygine also took steps to accommodate a Gluten Free request as part of their Vegan tasting menu. Not being a gastrophile, & thus unable to give an "educated review" of the food, let me say this: each plate & pairing of the Discovery Menu (one of us had the vegan, the other omnivore) was absolutely wonderful. Each dish was prepared with care, the flavours really highlighted a balance of local fare, & the plates were a perfect size. The broth & noodles were cravable, the duck was perfect, & the squash dessert was so flavourful.

Each pairing was perfect. The service was impeccable. While "pricey," (it's a dinner in Old Quebec City, so please expect that!), it was incredible value for the meal & experience. We'll visit again on our return to Quebec City.

Great meal overall. Service was not where it should have been because they were so busy. Omnivore tasting menu was excellent, vegetarian could use some improvement.

Wow! Exceeded my expectations which were already high as the menu looked amazing. I would even say this restaurant is on par with Alo in Toronto (top in Canada). Such creative dishes beautifully plated with excellent service. LOVE that they have vegetarian & vegan options for the tasting menu. The decor & ambience are also top for sure!! You MUST go!!

I went there last night with my husband for our wedding anniversary - it was beautiful. We sat outside on the terrace & had a view of the port. The staff are friendly & knowledgeable. We had the vegetarian tasting menu; each course & accompanying wine was introduced to us. The food was delicious & I tried many things I hadn't tried before. Very happy to have stumbled across this restaurant & will be going there again, for sure!

We came here for dinner & the location, right in the heart of the old city, was perfect. The interior was beautiful & the food was excellent. We had the venison medallions which were so full of flavor... I would love to go back & try their tasting menu!

Great locally-sourced taste combinations. We had the 5-course degustation (tasting) menu, & it was well worth it.

We had a memorable evening. We ordered the omnivore tasting menu with the Québécois wine pairings. I had no idea there were so many good wines in this province that paired really well with the different courses which kept getting more outstanding with each course. We were introduced to sriram & I have a new appreciation for celery & carrots.

The service was flawless & highly coordinated. I had dinner with a unilingual anglophone & the staff were fluently bilingual.

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.

Excellent service, but a slightly elevated price. We had the vegan 5 course tasting menu. The naan & tempeh dish was simply amazing, but the other dishes didn't keep up with the level of taste. The strawberry & pavlova dessert was way too sweet. But overall a very good experience!
