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.

Best steak I've eaten in a long time. The place has a relaxed atmosphere. The owner is a great guy & friendly to boot. The poutine with truffle is to die for! Greatly recommended for family & friends.

We rang in the New Year at Restaurant L'Original, & it was truly a spectacular night. The service was impeccable, the food absolutely phenomenal, & the wine selection far exceeded our expectations. This quaint, unassuming restaurant completely won our hearts. We believe we were the only'tourists' there, which made the evening even more special-just us & wonderful locals, all savoring a memorable night together.

Highly recommend for a cozy dinner. We shared the mushroom toast, Brussels sprouts, tagliatelle, salmon special, & the sticky toffee. Dishes are on the smaller side but the flavours & quality outweigh the size. Service was fantastic, too.

Our family traveled to Montreal for the thanksgiving holiday. We had our thanksgiving meal at L'Orignal. We were immediately greeted when we walked in & shown to our table. Throughout we had fast & very friendly service. The food was excellent, the atmosphere cozy & the prices fair. We loved it.

We had an absolutely wonderful dining experience! I ordered the braised beef cheek & it was incredibly tender, full of flavor, & cooked to perfection. My husband had the bison tomahawk & he was genuinely amazed - easily one of the best meals he's had in a long time.

The place itself is very cozy, almost like a warm & inviting chalet, which made the whole evening feel even more special.

To top it all off, the chef came by our table to say hi, & he was truly awesome & friendly, passionate, & clearly proud of his craft.

Highly recommend this restaurant for anyone looking for exceptional food, a cozy atmosphere, & a memorable experience!

The team are incredibly friendly & attentive & the atmosphere homely & inviting.

Per la resta molt be

Lovely vibe & setting. Feels like a very warm & friendly cabin or traditional pub. Enjoyed the beers on offer & the food. Burger was good, Poutine with truffles a nice twist & the escalope was huge. Several groups of locals in, which is always a good sign. Recommended.

It took us over an hour to get our appetizers. When they arrived they were cold. The'main' pasta dish is a Primi & not sufficient as a main dish. The vegetable farmers plate tasted like a campfire. Terrible use of smoke.
The bartender yelled at a server in front of the whole restaurant. Very unprofessional.
The hostess was very nice & attentive.
