The bill left a terrible after taste. These are Manhattan prices in La Malbaie. We opted for the…read moretwo-plate option (big mistake), which essentially leaves you with two rather small portions... for $62. You should go for 3 plates at $72 (a better value) but we didn't feel up to it. I had the (2) scallops from Magdalena islands which were very good followed by the lamb shoulder which was very disappointing for the price. The ingredients are mostly from the region (serving anything else would've been insulting if you ask me) but they do not justify the price. The wine pairings are somewhat "boring", they could really up their game with non-SAQ wines. You can do better in the region if you want to taste local ingredients, Vice-Versa really needs to take another look at their prices, especially the 2 plate option.

Don't let the plates' size fool you, the 3 courses menu is more than enough to content you, especially if you choose the wine option, carefully picked to match your food.

After a week long visit to the east of Quebec, I have eaten many expensive and horrible food from…read moretourist trap restaurants. So, this restaurant at the nice hotel which I randomly encountered while charging my car is a godsend. The restaurant is nicely decorated with both outdoor and indoor dining area that look absolutely beautiful. A clean washroom at the hotel and many beautiful original artworks. The food uses local fresh ingredients and were designed to bring out the freshness and original taste of the local produce. The pizza was very good with the freshness and taste and the crisp of the rip and the texture of the pizza center. Which urged us to order another one, made it a dinner portion while the first order was the lunch. The spaghetti was a bit disappointing due to the lack of lack of flavor and ordinary pasta. Nonetheless, I want to come back to have more pizza. The service could be more attentive but the staffs are polite and helpful when you got their attention.

We stayed at Le Germain and dined at Le Bercail twice during our stay. The staff made us feel…read morewelcome and appreciated on both visits. My favorite meal was the beef tartar which I had the second night - I would highly recommend that. I also liked the beef I had the first night which was very français in style. High quality beef (cheek) and an excellent preparation and complement of vegetables. My wife and kids enjoyed their meals as well. Kids can get a cheese pizza and a free desert but after trying the cheese and the three cheese included on the main menu I would definitely recommend going with the latter, despite the lack of a free desert. Speaking of desert, they are worth it if you have an appetite after dinner. The restaurant features local fromagerie and micro-brasseries, including Microbrasserie Charlevoix (which is excellent - try the ESB or the Flacatoune). While there are some interesting restaurants in downtown Baie Saint Paul this one is worth a try, especially if you have kids or are staying at Le Germain.

It was also a hotel with interesting history (shown in the menu book): "... Since 2011, Bristro Auberge Chez Truchon has occupied a magnificent historic house and chef Dominique Truchon has won a great reputation (with the Renaud-Cyr Chef Artisan prize in 2003). In 2018, the table at Chez Truchon was praised for his craft by guests of the G7 (Chef's Spouses and Husband and he United Kingdom's delegation)".

A must! Amazing bistro with the best veggie burger I ever had ( some kind of fried chickpea patty…read more). Adapted well to my vegan needs. Hard to find a vegan and gluten free combo, but I can personally cheat once in a while on gluten. Very good crispy french fries, great salad. My mom had the naan tuna salad sandwich. She liked it. We were on a very busy day and one staff member was lacking so service was long but employees kept smiling and were energetic. Cute sitting area outdoor in front. I know there is a big patio behind but did not go. NOTE: bathrooms only available on upper floor. Cute modern/rustic decor. Voilà!

Seriously is was lovely outside and there are heaters if you need them. The ambiance inside was cozy local with seats at the bar or tables. The musical programming was great, all English old hits and people were grooving. The service was great, again they encouraged and were pleased with our French and denying the English menu. We drank "pear drops" a martini infused with a splash of the house pear ginger cordial. I made it up and they liked it I think! We split a salmon tartare with salad for $32 which was delicious and more than enough for two. This might become our headquarters for the trip. Recommended.

Then came dinner, which was phenomenal. I started with the Ceviche du St-Laurent, which was made with such fresh scallops, sprinkled with finely diced pepper medley, olive oil, and balsamic vinaigrette. The dish was perfectly salted and peppered to bring out the precise fresh quality of the scallops. My husband enjoyed the spinach salad (Salde d'epinards et effiloche de canard roti au miel, vinaigrette au yogourt). He LOVED it! Dinner, for me, was the Grilled halibut steak, tagliatelle pasta with coriander oil and vegetables (Pave de fletan grille, tagliatelles a l'huile de coriander et legumes du marche). Halibut was cooked perfectly on the outside with some raw-ness in the middle, which was just right! My husband had the grilled pork chop, apple and sortilege liquor chutney, french fries, and vegetables (cote de port grillee, chutney aux pommel et sortilege, pommel de terre frites et legumes du marche). Pork was not overcooked at all! Fries were so, so, so good! High quality meal, divine atmosphere, and intimate fine dining experience!! My daughter enjoyed her chicken fingers and french fries. She does not even like french fries, but she said that it was the best french fries she ever had! She NEVER liked french fries...but today she thought it was so good! Also had the chocolate cake for dessert, and it was absolutely phenomenal! They have a Thursday night sushi happy hour special, so we plan on checking it out! You cannot beat the service, the car service from Le Manoir Richelieu, and the beautiful views of the St. Laurent River at night! Breathtakingly gorgeous!
