About

Les Mauvaises Herbes focuses on plant-based culinary techniques that prioritize seasonal vegetables and bold, herbaceous profiles. The menu highlights creative interpretations of sushi, utilizing unique vegetable preparations to mimic traditional textures and flavor combinations. Diners encounter a variety of rolls, bowls, and small plates that emphasize the natural vibrancy of fresh ingredients rather than reliance on animal products. The preparation process involves precise knife work and thoughtful ingredient pairings to ensure a consistent experience across all offerings. Every component, from house-made sauces to seasoned rice, serves to showcase the versatility of vegan-friendly cuisine. The environment maintains a minimalist aesthetic, allowing the focus to remain entirely on the composition and presentation of the dishes served. This approach provides a clear demonstration of how plant-centric menus achieve complexity through focused technique.

Nous avons choisi l'option dégustation à l'aveugle pour 3 personnes. Cela revenait à environ 50$ par personnes. Les portions étaient vraiment assez volumineuses & le nombre de plats qui nous a été servis ont été suffisants pour satisfaire notre faim. Environ 6 ou 7 plats, comprenant le dessert. J'enlève une étoile puisque le service a été très lent. Les premières assiettes ont été servies environ 1 heure après notre arrivée. Aussi, nous avions demandé de ne pas nous servir un des plats qui pouvait être servi, mais il nous a quand même été servi. Habituellement, selon mon expérience, avec les menus du chef on prend quand même en considération les commentaires/demandes des clients. Je recommande tout de même. L'ambiance, la musique & le décor étaient super & cela fait du bien de découvrir de nouvelles saveurs dans une abondance de légumes!

WOW. Perfection. Vegan ou pas, à essayer, c'est absolument parfait. Du gaspacho au melon d'eau au velouté d'oignons, sans oublier le plateau dessert… 11/10z

Super service, nourriture délicieuse. Ils ont su que c'était ma fête & nous ont offert un super plateau de desserts à partager... ❤? Dans chaque plats que nous avons essayés les sauces étaient particulièrement fantastiques.

We shared the gnocchi & ravioli, & they made a fantastic pairing. I highly recommend you try both together. The cold soup at the beginning was also tasty. For dessert, we had a passion fruit cake that was a bit dry.

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 & Ravioli, & both dishes were absolutely delicious. As for the dessert- we were speechless (checkout the pic). Truly exceptional!

A beautiful relaxed, chic vibe. Drinks & food menus were both interesting & delicious. Already looking forward to returning for the dessert I couldn't fit in. Oh & if they have the Thai soup on the menu, take it, it's the best I've ever had!

Wow! Everything about this restaurant was 5*. For three people, we ordered 4 dishes (dish of the day raviolis, cauliflower steak, Ceasar salad, & bur*ata) & dessert (creme brûlée). Every dish was so flavourful, so creative, & so well balanced. The service was attentive & very pleasant. We all had a great time.

Très bel accueil du gérant dans un environnement tamisé & agréable. Pour la cuisine, pas besoin d'avis tellement c'est excellent (je ne suis pas vegan). N'oubliez pas les churros en dessert, ça vaut le détour. Une très belle place. Des bretons de passage.
