L'Orygine

L’Orygine is an ode to freshness, vitality, and sharing. In a bright and minimalist setting, we offer creative, healthy, and refined cuisine designed to showcase local ingredients with simplicity and grace. Each dish reflects our desire to return to the essentials: to eat consciously, beautifully, and above all, with joy.

Here, both vegan and omnivorous food lovers will find dishes crafted with thoughtfully selected ingredients. The fruits of local agricultural artisans’ labour take centre stage, alongside the richness of the sea and a few carefully chosen meats. From the land, we feature organic fruits and vegetables, aromatic herbs, and ancient grains — handled with delicacy in a way that balances health, sustainability, and indulgence. The kitchen becomes a space where creativity and respect for life exist in perfect harmony.

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

“Attentive service worthy of fine dining, yet relaxed—offering a personalized and unforgettable evening.”

“We have experienced an excellent French Quebecois cuisine using local ingredients. All the dishes are amazingly complex with tastes. We ordered the two desserts, Confit Apple Doughnuts and Elderflower Panna Cotta are both demonstrated the chef mindset of creating unorthodox tastes interwoven together. Amazing!”

Adrian L., Google Review

“I often give out 5 stars but they are relative. A good food truck 5 star obviously not the same as a nice restaurant. L'Orygine however is a 5 star on any scale. We had the tasting menu and wine pairing. Unbelievable!!!! Service was extremely attentive and accommodating. So very happy we found this spot.”
