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.

The plates are bigger than the food. Why are the portions so small 🤔

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.

We had dinner at this real gem in Old Montreal, walking distance from our hotel. The staff are top notch pros. Very friendly & helpful hostess, & the place is cozy & unpretentious, offering fine dining without making one feel out of place in casual attire. The fish cake & scallops were incredible. We also shared the Halibut with quinoa salad - also incredible. The prices were decent in comparison to some of the restaurants rivals & well worth what one gets. Would definitely go back.
