My former roommate and dear friend Stacy suggested L'Orignal, which means "the Moose" in the quaintness of Old Montreal to have dinner while I was in town. This restaurant felt like it was a hidden gem off the beaten path as the entrance is just off Rue Notre Dame, on a narrow side street. It was very intimate as you walk in with its candlelit dark interior and original stone walls and woodsy cabin-like feel. The menu featured traditional Quebecoise cuisine (fish, game meats and top local products) and a fresh oyster bar. They also have a late night menu which features poutine which I must try!
