Bistro L'Orygine

This restaurant was an amazing experience. They were incredibly accommodating of different dietary needs—one person at our table was vegan, another avoided pork, and one was an omnivore. It was fun to see the subtle differences in each dish and how carefully they avoided cross-contamination while still delivering on flavor. Some of the ingredient combinations sounded unusual at first, but once everything came together, we were genuinely surprised by how well it all worked. Every staff member we interacted with was kind and welcoming, and the interior design was absolutely perfect.

Marvellous, Splendid, and Stupendous. No words come close to describe the taste of this restaurant, which completely blew our minds away. We all are vegetarian and there is a one in 500 chance to find a restaurant that’s rated so good and focuses on vegetarian. Our kids don’t like vegetables but they ate squash, mushroom, and peppers and they loved every bit. We are staying for 4 days and we know which meal will be our last one. Definitely recommend mushroom and morel risotto and grilled peach salad. The desserts had all textures, with thin strawberry wafer paper, crunchy tarts, and strawberry gel with ice cream. Our helper was Sam and he was phenomenal he recommend great options and told us about the food. You know it’s really hard to find a place with vegan options that taste like veg. DEFINETLY RECOMMEND!:)

I organized a company event for two groups on May 5 and 8, 2025 and it was truly a fantastic experience — everyone loved it! I had the pleasure of working with Philippe Veilleux, and from the very beginning, he made the entire planning process seamless and stress-free. What stood out the most was the incredible level of service: even though the restaurant is usually closed on Mondays, Philippe was kind enough to open it exclusively for our group. That level of commitment and flexibility is rare these days. The food was absolutely amazing, and the entire restaurant team was incredibly friendly and professional. Their customer service was impeccable — a true culinary show and experience we won’t forget! Thank you to Philippe and the entire team!

Picked the place for my son’s birthday celebration during our Quebec trip, love the atmosphere right after we walked in. Our server Sam is very friendly and confident comes to recommendation, we enjoyed the food especially and melting pork belly! Sam and another staff also sang a French version of birthday son while bringing him the delicious deconstructed strawberry dessert. My boy said this has to be a 5 stars ^_^

This is a 6 🌟 establishment. I can not say enough good about L'Orygine - the experience was exceptional, the food exquisite, and the service unmatched. To the owner - please commend your staff for the experience on the evening of September 15 - I do not think I have had a better culinary experience. Merci Beaucoup .

absolutely delicious, charming atmosphere, and ready to accommodate anything- vegan, vegetarian, picky, pescetarian, any sort of food allergy, and have some phenomenal NA drinks as well! I was seriously struggling to resist licking my plate. I asked for a wine rec and got something amazing, and be sure to leave room for dessert because that isn't just artistic blobs of chocolate and cream, it was so freaking good. 10/10 will be dreaming about their oysters and NA whiskey drinks and baba for years. Just be sure to plan ahead well, though- Quebec city has atrocious parking.

We have experienced an excellent French Quebecois cuisine using local ingredients. All the dishes are amazingly complex with tastes. We ordered the two desserts, Confit Apple Doughnuts and Elderflower Panna Cotta are both demonstrated the chef mindset of creating unorthodox tastes interwoven together. Amazing!

We wanted to try this fine dining restaurant since the review seems great but our experience was just so so. We try many dishes but only a few catches our attention.
