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.
Getting the taste of vegan food now. It's more than just experimental, it's about seeking the best in food variations, between complementary & 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.
Menu VEGAN qui change de type de cuisine au gré du vent. Celui que j'ai pu essayer était à saveur asiatique. Un delicieux poke bowl. Proprios sympathiques. Ambiance décontractée. Adresse à retenir!

Amazing food, & it's ALL vegan (& this review is from a non vegan!!) Don't be fooled, looks closed from outside because windows are dark but has a great atmosphere inside, super friendly waiter who remembered me & my family the second time we came. Every dish we tried is great, even better than non vegan versions I've had. Try the calamari, ramen, & sushi (which is so unique) Menu is changing this summer can't wait to see the new dishes!
Super service, super bouffe vegan & très bon choix d'alcool pour accompagner le tout. Merci encore pour cette très agréable soirée ! Je retournerai dans pas long :-)
Sushis véganes aussi alléchants que délicieux. Service attentionné, sympathique & courtois. Soupe miso un peu trop salée au goût de mon amoureuse, mais rien qui nous empêcherait d'y retourner. À découvrir! (Ps: Merci de nous avoir permis de goûter votre mac N cheez végan. Une attention très appréciée!!)
Excellent nouveau restaurant vegan du quartier st jean baptiste. Malgré un délai pour la nourriture dû à un manque de personnel, les deux employés en poste on su assurer un excellent service & une qualité de nourriture incroyable. Super atmosphère chaleureuse & festive, prix abordables & bouffe à faire saliver qui donne envie d'y retourner. Longue vie au Mauvaises Herbes
I am not a vegetarian & vegan & to be honest, if I was at a sushi restaurant I would've never picked the vegan option. I have to say that I was quite surprised. If you are a meat eater like me, you should still definitively visit this place if you have the chance because I tell you, their stuff if fire. Each individual piece is carefuly crafted & it creates a wonderful gastronomical experience. My girlfriend who lives in Montreal said she never tasted sushis this good. I agree with her. Anyway, good ambiance, good price, good service & most of all awesome food.
Comme tous les veganes j'étais très contente de voir une nouvelle offre végétale arriver en ville. Toute fois les deux fois où je suis venue dans cet établissement m'ont déçues. En effet, le prix est excessif pour la quantite (même si les goûts sont là). Aussi, le délai d'attente est beaucoup trop long, environ 2h (pour une soupe) la dernière fois sans aucune excuse, explication ou geste commercial en salle.
