Visited with work colleagues & was very impressed. The service was first class. Didn't get the servers name but was a lovely lady that really coped well with 12 of us early Nov'23. Thank you for a great night. Food was amazing. I shared the steak which was excellent. The overall ambience of the place really made the evening.

Absolutely delightful place. Exceptional food, exceptional service, exceptional atmosphere. I'd go back in a heartbeat! The truffle poutine was special, the beef medialions were very tender, & the sticky toffee pudding was delish!

We had a delicious dinner here at L’Orignal! Seating is a bit tight, but when we asked for a more private table, we were accommodated which showed great care for their customers. The service staff was excellent & the experience was levelled up even more by the delicious food. Very unique menu with new flavour profiles for us. Highly recommended!

I take all my business associates here when in town. They have been open for a long time & there's a damn good reason why. The food knocks it out of the park every time. The atmosphere is great. Lighting... decor smells... it's a hit that keeps on hitting. A definite must do on any trip to Montreal.
