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.

Had a great experience at L'Original! The service was warm & attentive from start to finish. The standout dish was definitely the maple Brussels sprouts-perfectly cooked with just the right balance of sweetness & texture. Our server also got us shots!
If you're looking for elevated comfort food in a cozy setting, L'Original delivers. Will definitely be back next time I'm in town!

A hidden gem!! Lovely atmosphere. Amazing service & the food was to die for. Had the bison burguer with poutine side & it was the best bites of yumminess i ever had. I also had the french kiss martini. Overall amazing.

Food was just ok. Bone marrow was good & soup of the night. The pasta was not cooked enough & small portion. The broccolini was not cooked enough & crunchy/hard.

Very good food in a cozy, homey setting. Would definitely recommend reservations. We didn't have any & were told we could have a table if we were able to finish in a little over an hour. Since the food took a bit to get we ended up skipping dessert & any extra drinks to try to honour that (& because the hostess was clearly anxious for us to head out & handed the waitress our check immediately after we finished our entrees) We had the bone marrow, schnitzel, & lemon risotto. My husband liked his schnitzel but said he preferred the risotto overall. The Moscow moose is really good too. If we are ever back in the area we'd consider stopping again for the friendly service & tasty food.

Decent spot. Drinks & food came out quick. Not sure I would spend a ton of time there or eat a lot, just good spot to stop for a drink & grab a bite

Feels like home... Great food...we had kale parmesan salad, bison burger truffle oil fries wi garlic aoli. Leane our server was awesome... the music from the 80 was just right.

Apparently I got pictures of the decor & not the food. This was a great spot around Old Montreal. My husband was obsessed with the marrow. I loved the tagliatelle. The beef tartare is hard to rate because it just wasn't to my taste, but may be to others. It needed some crunch & had a lot on it. The oysters were excellent.

We are in Montreal on vacation & we were looking for the best poutine. After reading some reviews we gave this a shot. It was absolutely phenomenal. I have had many poutines but never as good as this. The gravy is a truffle gravy with some spice & Smokey flavour. We had the sticky toffee pudding for dessert which also was incredible. The service was top notch & it was a very charming atmosphere. 10/10 recommend!
Kelly
By far the best poutine I've ever had. The toffee cake was also amazing. Good location, cozy atmosphere, great food. Our waitress Lianne was so friendly & gave us lots of tips about traveling Montréal. We loved this place.
Charles
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.

Pour notre dernière soirée à Montréal nous avons testé ce restaurant ! Au top, accueil, ambiance, cuisine fine & plutôt raffinée avec du bon conseil pour les vins ! (+ pour le vin blanc canadien très bon). Serveuse super sympa plein de bons conseils vous pouvez y aller les yeux fermés !

Lire au complet!!!! Nourriture 100% Services de la serveuse 100% Atmosphère 100% Commentaires du propriétaire quand mon fils a commencé à pleurer(pendant 1 min) après s'être blessé 0% Mon fils a pleuré maximum 1min après s'être cognée sur la table, le propriétaire est arrivé au même moment pour desservir nos assiettes en disant: sorry little dude but there is a lot of customers in here at the moment 😳 Il a ensuite brusquement « lancer » un sac de glace sur la table... Il a ruinée notre expérience avec ce commentaire & son geste brusque.... Tout était parfait, notre merveilleuse serveuse c'est excusé pour lui... nous avons compris après avoir parlé avec elle que ce n'est pas la première fois & que le propriétaire n'aime clairement pas les enfants & manque beaucoup de contrôle aussi... Notez que nous comme arrivez à 17h15 & parti à 18h53, la facture s'élevait à 394.21$.... & que notre enfant était calme & zéro bruyant à l'exception de l'incident ou il a glisser & cogner sa bouche sur la table.. Alors si vous y allez sans enfants vous allez être très bien servis mais pensez y deux fois si vous amener vos petits!
