Le restaurant L'Orignal a ouvert ses portes l'hiver 2008 afin d'accueillir touriste et montréalais. Dans un décor de chalet, nous vous emporterons loin de la ville tout en étant au coeur du Vieux-Montréal. Notre cuisine est constituée de repas campagnards avec une touche moderne. Possédant une variété de cocktails et une compilation de musique unique dans son genre, L'Orignal est beaucoup plus qu'un restaurant local.
Dans l'ensemble, L'Orignal est décrit comme une adresse chaleureuse et conviviale où la cuisine et le service sont largement loués, avec des plats savoureux et bien exécutés, des spécialités comme la poutine à la truffe, le marrow et des tagliatelles qui séduisent, et des viandes braisées ou poissons qui impressionnent. Le cadre cosy et intime est perçu comme idéal pour les repas en têteàtête, en famille ou entre amis, et l'atmosphère générale est accueillante avec un service attentif. La qualité des plats, la créativité des propositions du chef et la constance du service reviennent fréquemment, ainsi que les mises en valeur des plats du jour et des découvertes du menu. Certaines remarques évoquent des petites déceptions: portions parfois modestes pour le prix, plats qui arrivent légèrement froids, ou des variations de rythme selon les soirées; la climatisation ou l'agencement des tables peuvent aussi être sources d'inconfort ponctuel. Malgré cela, l'avis global demeure très positif et présente L'Orignal comme un véritable joyau caché, une destination à revisiter lors des passages à Montréal et une valeur sûre pour des occasions variées.
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.

Exceptional service & above all the specials. Everything was very tasty & presentation incredibly exotic. Chef Guille met with us during the stay so that we could find out what ingredients made his meals so special. Will go back every time we'll get near Old Port in Montreal.
Great place! We were in a rush & they accommodating. Delicious tagliatelle dish & bison burger. A little expensive but comparable to other places in the area. Well worth a visit.
Lovely cosy restaurant with great service let down by food that wasn't quite up to snuff. I think they may be trying too hard to make the dishes stand out. My tagliatelle was good but not great being somewhat overpowered by truffle or whatever it was. Would I go back? Probably, but if it was the same I wouldn't again. Prices are OK for these days.
Overall really great place to eat at, worth the price. A bit dark when you first enter but your eyes will eventually adjust. Entrance doesn't look like much but the inside is amazing. Really well decorated, sort of a cabin vibe. Very comfy, I really liked the decorations, whoever designed this place I love you. Really lovely seating area, I wish I took a lot more photos so I could use it as reference in decorating my house in the future or something. Anyways, I got fish of the day, very nice, very tasty. Personally liked the chocolate(?) dessert the best. Oysters were great too their hot sauce is really good. I took some of my sister's fries that came with her burger & those were really nice too. Very crisp. Portions were nice. Service was great, nice lady, English friendly. I would definitely come back probably in winter. I feel like it would be really cozy in winter like a hidden haven tucked in a street corner haha.
Très bin restaurant, mention spéciale pour les frites à l'aïoli & le bol du fermier, un délicieux plat végétarien pleins de légumes frais. En tant que végétarienne ça fait plaisir de pouvoir manger un plat frais autre qu'une salade ou un burger de tofu transformé!
Seul point négatif: la clim qui était à fond, en plus d'avoir un peu froid nos plats on refroidir très vite.

Food was outstanding. The service & interactions with staff were even better. Felt truly cared for. Can't wait to come back & will recommend to everyone.
We ate here 7 yrs ago & we thought these were the best oysters we ever had & thought so for the intervening yrs. Well we remembered the place & returned today & they're still the best oysters ever.
The Halibut was amazing as was the pork schnitzel.
Good to see the same guy/boss from last time.

We were here for dinner with colleagues & everything was excellent. We had many of the menu items & all of it was great. The service was also amazing. Above & beyond on a very busy night. Highly recommend!
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!
