My dinner companion & I spent a pleasant evening at this intimate dining spot in Old Montréal, a first for both of us. The ambience was warm & welcoming, as was the greeting offered upon arrival. The lighting was subdued, & the cosy bar looked perfect for a solo diner or even a couple if intimacy was not an objective. Staff were very friendly & affable both at the bar & serving the table.
We asked our server, Lianne, for recommendations & took her advice for the three appetizers we decided to share. The Kale Caesar salad was delicious, as were both others, the Smoked Bone Marrow amd the Fish Cake. We also very much loved the Chocolate Salt Caramel Cake & Ice Cream. The bottle of Bordeaux Superiere I selected was excellent. Unfortunately, the Tomahawk steak we ordered as our main, was a disappointment. It was quite sinewy which made it difficult to cut & chew. Now, I dine out frequently, & I know that each cut of meat a restaurant procures cannot always be guaranteed to be perfect, so I don't blame them. In fact, they went above & beyond by comping our dessert as well as the Tomahawk. That was unexpected, but very much appreciated. To me, that demonstrated that they were also disappointed in not having delivered the perfect meal that evening. Their service recovery ensured that we would be left with a positive impression, which was exactly the case. I'm very happy to have discovered this venue, & I'm anxious to return. I found their prices & wine markup to be very reasonable, especially given their location. À la prochaine!
L'Original is a nice respite in a busy city. The food is amazing & the staff is welcoming & knowledgeable about their food & wine offerings. Mike is a great bartender & makes your dining experience familiar & yet unexpected. We will definitely be coming back!
Ha sido una experiencia increíble. Me he sentado en el bar. Las ostras estaban perfectas, frescas. La atención de Michael fue increíble. Llegué sin reservación e inmediatamente hicieron todo lo posible por atenderme. La comida es deliciosa. Los clientes se veían deleitados por sus platos. Yo pedí la hamburguesa y estaba perfecta. Quedé con ganas de pedir el bone marrow. Volveré sin duda si regreso a Montreal!

This is a campy canadian style place complete with a canoe bar, service was charming & I would definitely go back but the food was just meh..well cooked nicely presented but lacked a bit of seasoning
It took us over an hour to get our appetizers. When they arrived they were cold. The'main' pasta dish is a Primi & not sufficient as a main dish. The vegetable farmers plate tasted like a campfire. Terrible use of smoke.
The bartender yelled at a server in front of the whole restaurant. Very unprofessional.
The hostess was very nice & attentive.
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.
Cannot recommend this place enough. Amazing food (get the Elk steak if they have it) & drinks & atmosphere. Mike is a delight. Sit up at the bar if you can! Planning a whole new trip to Montréal just to eat here again.
Too bad I finished all the food before I even got to write the review!!!! Food was great! The bartender was awesome! The service was top-notch. We'll definitely come back again!! Always ask them for special/catch of the day. They are always a hit!
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!!
Sat at the bar & got chatting to the owner as he opened oysters. His attention to detail & quality was evident & is reflected in the excellent food & drink served here. I will be coming back.
