L'Orygine

L’Orygine is an ode to freshness, to living things, to sharing. In a bright, uncluttered setting, we serve a creative, healthy and refined cuisine designed to showcase local ingredients with complete simplicity. Every dish reflects our wish to return to the source: to eat with awareness, with beauty and, above all, with the pleasure of the table.

Here, vegan and omnivorous food lovers alike will find dishes built from carefully selected ingredients. The fruits of the work of local farmers take centre stage, alongside the richness of the sea and a few carefully chosen meats. Straight from the land, organic fruit and vegetables, aromatic herbs and ancient grains are handled with care, in an approach that marries health, sustainability and indulgence. Cooking then becomes a subtle balance between creativity and respect for living things.

At L’Orygine, the experience is meant to be invigorating, generous and inspiring. We invite you to savour a gastronomy where the simplicity of the ingredients turns into a celebration of nature, in a welcoming and convivial atmosphere.

“ Attentive service worthy of the finest tables without ever being stiff, for a personal and thoroughly memorable evening. ”

Environment

Like the other establishments of Groupe La Tanière, L’Orygine holds the same values and takes concrete steps to protect the environment around us. Nature is our greatest reserve: an essential resource that nourishes our cuisine and deserves to be protected so that it lasts. That commitment is what allows us to keep serving dishes made with local ingredients.

“ Our favourite every single time we visit Quebec City. Every dish is breathtaking! There are not enough adjectives to describe these wonderful creations. The combination of fresh, high-quality, varied ingredients makes for a true symphony of flavours, a pleasure with every bite. An incomparable love for the place and for everyone who works there. ”

“ A gem! What a joy to have found this place. Having loved La Tanière, I enjoyed my experience here just as much. You feel like royalty, you are looked after so attentively. The food is full of flavour; every dish was a delightful explosion of tastes that paired perfectly with the mocktails we chose as an option. A real pleasure we will treat ourselves to again, all the more so since the menu changes with the seasons. An experience worth trying, especially as they accommodate every diet. My compliments to the chef! Vegan fine dining is certainly possible! ”
