Old Montreal

Restaurant L'Orignal opened in the winter of 2008 to a warm welcome from locals and tourist alike. The room is decked out in chalet decor, and is a little getaway to the country...in the middle of Old Montreal. The kitchen turns out local farm dishes with a modern look. With fun play lists and our variety of cocktails, L'Orignal is a little bit more just your local restaurant.

The decor is cozy & warming. However, the staff wasn't very welcoming. The food tastes good but overpriced. I would definitely never go back.
