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.

So happy we found this place. We stumbled on it in search of something different at lunch time & were so pleasantly surprised. We ordered the gnocchi & cauliflower steak. The steak dish is so pretty & very tasty, especially with the mint infused oil drizzle & panko crusted seasoned tofu with vegan creme sauce. YUM!! My husband's gnocchi was tasty too with the coconut curry creme. Great, friendly & fast service.

Nice ambiance but very disappointing food. The curry sauce, fried Gnocchi had no sauce & was just dry gnocchi & not a good taste. The ravioli was so small others had to go out for another meal. The people who ordered the cauliflower steak said the tofu tasted good the the cauliflower steak was just steamed cauliflower. The wine was all terrible. The poor waitress was by herself & was completely overwhelmed.

10/10 C'était une incroyable expérience & nous avons mangé les gnocchis frits, les raviolis aux olives & les pogos coréen! Si vous mangez végan, vous devez visiter ce restaurant dans la ville de Québec!

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.

The churros live up to the hype. The hint of orange in the whipped cream was a very nice surprise. The gnocchi would have been absolutely perfect if it was a bit less salty. The texture, in particular, was magnificent.

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 & 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 & haven't had churros since. Was amazing. Thank you so much.

Tout simplement DÉLICIEUX. Je voyage pour la nourriture végane & les plats du Mauvaises herbes étaient dignes des plus grands restaurants de NYC & LA. Le copropriétaire Carl est venu nous expliquer les nuances des plats & a pris le temps de nous raconter le parcours du jeune resto, chapeau! Les gnocchis frits étaient crémeux & fromagés à souhait. L'assiette de Mozzarella végane servit avec petite salade était fraiche, avec les morceaux de pêches. Les pogos coréens étaient gourmands & l'assiette de tofu frit, super gouteuse avec les jalapenõs & la coriandre. Je recommande vivement à tous, véganes ou pas. Nous avons aussi opté pour le cocktail Vodka Poire, un petit apéro bien réussit. Félicitations pour ce petit bijou. Si vous n'avez qu'un souper à Québec, c'est le meilleur choix.
