We ate gnocchi, gazpacho melon d’eau, hummus and cauliflower steak. Everything was really good and our favorite was the cauliflower steak, the sauce is amazing!
I was hoping to try their sushi as there’s a lot of good reviews about it but they took it out of the menu. Even so, I still gave them a chance and got the gnocchi coconut curry. OMGGGG SO GOOD!!!!!! The portion was a bit small for the price but the flavour was incredible. I got the churros right after. I’ve been vegan for 5 years and haven’t had churros since. Was amazing. Thank you so much.
What a beautiful place to dine in. ‘Less is more’ perfectly describes this restaurant. The menu may be limited, but don’t let that fool you—the flavors are outstanding. We ordered the Cauliflower Steak and Ravioli, and both dishes were absolutely delicious. As for the dessert- we were speechless (checkout the pic). Truly exceptional!
Getting the taste of vegan food now. It's more than just experimental, it's about seeking the best in food variations, between complementary and contrasting tastes. Sometimes, it's best not to know the fine details of the dishes. We got good tastes at Les Mauvaises Herbes, backed by excellent service. New menu, we were told. Liked the open kitchen approach.
I was surprised at first to enter a bar instead of a restaurant, but don’t make the appearances fool you ; what you get is amazing vegan food AND absolutely insane cocktails I had the poke bowl, which was excellent, and loved the lemon pie cocktail as well as the sake one. Talked with one of the owners, he was really passionate and it was inspiring:) got a family vibe and I enjoyed my night. Would go back to try the rest of the menu. Especially curious about the eggplant calamari warmly recommend if you are in Quebec !
Can’t praise this place enough: The menu is small but all the dishes I had were absolutely amazing. Had to come back again and the service and food were just as good as before! Super friendly owner and staff. Has some great craft beer too and the atmosphere in the restaurant is vibrant and cosy. A must come restaurant if your visiting Quebec.
A beautiful relaxed, chic vibe. Drinks and food menus were both interesting and delicious. Already looking forward to returning for the dessert I couldn't fit in. Oh and if they have the Thai soup on the menu, take it, it's the best I've ever had!
Great vegan food! This is a small, casual restaurant with a short menu. But everything on the menu is vegan, and every offering is fabulous. Beautiful presentation, creative and delicious meals. We had the watermelon gazpacho; the asparagus cream, mushroom & seasonal fruits; and the fried gnocchi & coco-curry. Each dish was more delicious than the other. And the staff were lovely; so helpful and friendly. A short and easy walk from Vieux Quebec. We will definitely be back the next time we are in Quebec City.
