We had the most fantastic meal. The atmosphere is comfortable & unpretentious, & both the quality of food & the service is outstanding. Bone marrow was a decadent appetizer. Beef tagliatelle & the Duck special were decadent but not overwhelming. Highly recommend & we hope to return.

Every time I eat at L'Orignal, I am blown away. It is quite possibly my favourite restaurant in the city at this point. From the amazing food, to the outstanding service, to the cozy decor, this place always delivers. Michael & his staff are always on-point -- friendly, warm, & fast.

I'm not the kind of person to care much for specials, as I typically go with what I know I already love. However, at L'Orignal, the specials always pique my interest, so we usually get one with our order. They're always stellar.

L'Orignal is perfect for large groups, a small family gathering, & even for date night. I can't wait to come back soon!

If you are a Montrealer & haven't been here yet, you are truly missing out.

We recently had a work dinner at L'Orignal & everyone loved it! The ambiance was warm & inviting, the food was outstanding, & the service was top notch. We even bought the sweatshirts to commemorate the evening as everyone enjoyed it so much. Would highly recommend this restaurant for any occasion.

Wonderful dinner here - our favorite during our stay in Montreal. The restaurant itself is tucked away off a quiet street & nicely designed. It felt like a nice change from some of the more touristy spots. The service was attentive & welcoming. & the food was delicious. We had the kale salad, marrow, burrata, & two outstanding specials. We'll be back next time we are in the city.

Delicious, fresh oysters, shucked at the bar by casual, friendly owner. Beef tartare was as good as it gets. The bone marrow lived up to its reputation & was simply outstanding. Reasonably priced wine for the area. Tried some fantastic Canadian wines as well. Regular customers friendly & had great chats at the bar. Outstanding atmosphere with the feel of a place that's under constant care & love. Do not miss this place.

Our dinner here was amazing. We started with the Oysters which were outstanding & very unique, was excited to try some from PEI as we rarely see them in New England. We each had specials for our mains & they were also very good & thoughtfully executed. Service was fantastic! We always try to visit new places when we are in Montreal but it will be hard not to stop back in to L'Original when we come back next year.
