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.
I was hesitant to post this review. My partner & I really were so excited to go to L'Origin. The sebasste (rockfish) was a delicious dish with great complimentary flavours. However, I was just so disappointed with the flavours & quality of most dishes. While creative & aesthetic choices were well executed, when I am paying $500+ for 2 dinners & wine I do expect the flavour to consistently be there as well. I am from a province with many seasonal businesses, & was left with the feeling that they should just be closed for the winter, rather than provide expensive food that just doesn't taste good.
Most dishes had a flavour that drowned out part of the other dishes. We were served a delicious veal tarte that was overpowered by the tarte shell. There was one dish of beets-3-ways & despite loving beets the textures & lack of any other flavour getting through left me disappointed. The mushroom dessert was creative, but had a bad aftertaste.
If you have the extra cash, & reframe the experience as an art exhibition on local food availability & how we are dependent on trade routes for good flavours in our cuisine (especially in winter), then it's interesting, although a little costly.
In the end we were left disappointed with the flavour while the aesthetic of the food was completely on point. It looked good. It presented well. 3 out of the 6 dishes tasted fine (not amazed) & 3 left me very disappointed that this was the restaurant we chose for our holiday this year.
This was my first Michelin Star restaurant & I was surprised at how little flavour most dishes had. I was expecting more, as I've had amazing meals at non-starred restaurants locally. I feel they focused far more on aesthetic than flavour.
Our experience at L'Orygine was nothing short of perfection. My husband & I didn't know what to expect when we ordered the discovery menu but it was exquisite. Firstly, it was an incredibly elegant & excellent vegan menu - every dish was packed with flavour & perfect portions to accommodate 6 courses. The most lovely surprise was the wine selection, as we had no idea every course came with a different type of wine & they all paired perfectly with the food served. To top it all off, our server, Sam, was so attentive & kind; he was really the cherry on top of an already impeccable experience. My husband & I are still raving about L'Orygine even the next day. Thank you for such a special & amazing dinner experience. We can't wait to come back!
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.
Farm to table style. Food is impeccably presented & the service is outstanding. Great ambience, delicious food & an extensive wine list. Dishes are customisable accordimg to dietary preferences. Highly recommended.
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!
absolutely delicious, charming atmosphere, & ready to accommodate anything- vegan, vegetarian, picky, pescetarian, any sort of food allergy, & have some phenomenal NA drinks as well! I was seriously struggling to resist licking my plate. I asked for a wine rec & got something amazing, & be sure to leave room for dessert because that isn't just artistic blobs of chocolate & cream, it was so freaking good. 10/10 will be dreaming about their oysters & NA whiskey drinks & baba for years.
Just be sure to plan ahead well, though- Quebec city has atrocious parking.

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.
Bistro L'Orygine was an outstanding dining experience. My husband & I opted for the tasting menu, where the chef selects each dish for you. While they accommodate food allergies or preferences, we allowed them full creative freedom, & every course was a delight. We enjoyed six courses, plus a special addition, & each item was excellent. The staff was wonderful & attentive, providing detailed descriptions of each dish that sounded like poetry. This was truly a dining experience, not just a meal. Time & price shouldn't be a concern-this is a 2.5 -hour, premium experience. My husband went with the wine pairing, while I enjoyed a couple of delicious cocktails. Our service was efficient & informative throughout. If you're looking for a memorable culinary journey, Bistro L'Orygine is well worth it!

A culinary delight tucked into a side street just one block away from the port. The ambience was elegant, quiet & perfect for our 26th anniversary dinner. We decided on the a la carte menu. The first course was fried ravioli stuffed with caramelized sweet onions. A perfect palate preparation to enjoy with our wine. Just one each which was also perfect This was followed by cooked oysters - I ordered six, next time I will order a dozen - the boar bacon & jalapeno pepper complimented the oysters & au gratin, an exciting combo. Next, my favorite dish, the Tataki de veau & courge fumee. (Veal tataki & smoked squash) the veal was perfectly seared with an apple balsamic drizzle. The fumee was creamy & flavorful. I might have a double order of this next time, as an entree. Last was the guinea fowl & cauliflower, another inventive combination. It had a nice symphony of flavors & textures, I loved the crunchy sage semolina & cauliflower puree. I thought the fowl could have used a little more spice on it but that's just preference on my part. My husband thoroughly enjoyed his order of raw oysters, his third course was the arctic char, he commented that it was a new flavor for him that he would like to try again. Fourth course: He says the halibut was lovely & nicely prepared. He would have liked the pasta & red sauce served separately from the white sauce accompanying the halibut. Everything was fresh & organic. Would have loved to watch these dishes being prepared. The restaurant was full you may need a reservation depending on the day. We were there on a Thursday & were seated without one. Service, the restaurant staff were professional, friendly & personable. Put this one on your itinerary!
The halibut, tagliatelle, white wine beurre blanc was the only dish that felt confused, the meal was amazing as well as each of its individual parts, but might be capable of being two dishes in one. The veal tataki (& its vegetarian counter part enjoyed by my partner) was a mutually agreed to be an absolute orgasmic experience. Otherwise the experience starting with the music, to the cocktail pairings, to the staffs kindness & warmth, was 5 stars!! Thank you!
I give this Restaraunt a 5 out 5 star. We came for dinner our first night in Quebec & had the pairing menu accompanied by the premium wine pairing option. Everything was amazing, the atmosphere, the food, the service & the attention to detail are all matched. We are back again for an afternoon cocktail. The creativity that has gone into every part of this establishment creates the most memorable experience.
Amazing place in the heart of Old Quebec. Ordered a 6 course "Discovery Menu" paired with wine & it was awesome. The staff is well trained, well mannered & treats you well. It gets busy real quick, so reservation is recommended.
The menu changes based on what is available. The service was excellent with staff explaining all the ingredients & preparation of the dish. The wine pairing was great. The warm hand towels before the meal was a nice touch. Everyone in our group loved their food. Be certain to book a reservation.
