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.

We showed up on a Saturday night with no reservations & we were seated at the bar. Best move, we had such a great experience! The food was very good the service was beyond. We would absolutely go back for the service & atmosphere alone! Thank you for the hot shots Mike!!

Excellent restaurant à Montréal, à chaque fois qu'on est allé manger, tous est très bon du repas au service! L'incontournable entrecôte de boeuf viellis est à tester absolument!

Our new favourite! Kat & I loved everything from the warm & cozy wood cabin ambiance to the 80s music. The food was incredible, with every mouthful a delight. Service was friendly, accommodating, & attentive. Drinks (cocktails around $15) were excellent. It's quieter before 7:30 & the entrance is a bit off the beaten path (I did not see if there's an alternative, wheelchair-accessible entrance). We walked 9km in the downtown/old Montreal core, looking for a decent place to have dinner, & ironically, this one was just behind our hotel. Like, literally right behind it. We both chose from the daily specials. Kat had the sea bass, which had a parsnip puree & seafood chowder bed. It was fantastic & she loved every bite. I had the duck with pumpkin puree & a fantastic mole sauce. Dessert was an incredible sticky toffee pudding & a mousse that Kat was very cagey about sharing, it was that good. With the two entrees & desserts, a glass of wine & four cocktails, dinner came to a little over CDN$200. Service was perfectly attentive, with water being constantly refilled, empty glasses & plates taken promptly, & friendliness as warm as the ambiance. It's our new must go-to in Montreal.

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.

I've never had a better dining experience. The food. The service. Impeccable. Bravo.

Pour notre sortie père/fille nous avons été charmé par ce restaurant! Elisa nous a donner un EXCELLENT service, en plus de nous conseiller 2 excellents vin! Le seul point que mon père a moins aimer, c'est qu'il y avait beaucoup de gras sur le porc qu'il a commander.. Mais sinon, les saveurs étaient au rendez-vous de l'entrée au dessert 🤍 284$ pour 2 entrées, 2 repas, 2 cocktail, 2 verres de vin BIEN remplis, 2 dessert & 2 café (on roulais en sortant de la !)
