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.

Great vegan food! This is a small, casual restaurant with a short menu. But everything on the menu is vegan, & every offering is fabulous. Beautiful presentation, creative & delicious meals. We had the watermelon gazpacho; the asparagus cream, mushroom & seasonal fruits; & the fried gnocchi & coco-curry. Each dish was more delicious than the other. & the staff were lovely; so helpful & friendly. A short & easy walk from Vieux Quebec. We will definitely be back the next time we are in Quebec City.
