If you get a chance eat in the veranda area. The view on a nice evening is quite scenic. Perusing the menu they had a good offering of seafood, steaks and many other things including pasta and salad. Asking the server and she mentioned the specialty of the restaurant was the prime rib roast beef. So I ended up ordering a 10 oz (rare) with fries and vegetables. Also served with the meal was a wonderful very tangy vinaigrette coleslaw that was bit garlicky but slightly sweet which was very nice to get the appetite going. The beef was excellent. A good portion with some fatty areas but not tough at all and seasoned lightly. My cut was rare and done exactly as I preferred. I worked my way around the fat and very much enjoyed the meal! It was just the perfect size. Not belly ache too much but I was hungry. Service was very good. Overall I'd say this is the restaurant to come to in the region. Come eat the beef. You won't be disappointed. They have a 20oz if you have a construction worker or a fat mans appetite.

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)".

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.

So far, it is THE best restaurant I have eaten at in my travels for a month in quebec...including montreal and quebec city. It is one of my top 5 restaurants I have eaten at in the entire world on my travels...its that good. The food is local with a french flare. Traditional foods made elegantly emphasizing fresh local foods. The beef tartare is unbelievable. The seafood fresh and delicious. Service was impeccable, and the staff treated us so great. No discrimination for being anglophone and they totally accomadate us for translating the menu. Outstanding service, our water was topped up at least 6 times as we were thirsty from our hike. Get the beef tartare. The table d'hote menu offers 4 courses for a reasonable price. It is well worth it. We wanted to book for lunch but they are not open on sundays... I'm planning to drive out from quebec city just to eat here again. This is a must go to if in this area. We drove 40 minutes from our hotel in sagunay. And it was well worth it. Unbelievable. The food is great. Ambience is perfect to impress a date or for special occasions!!!

As a special treat to celebrate my daughter's birthday, we ended up enjoying a astronomy…read morepresentation at the Observatoire Astronomique de Charlevoix located in the same building as this restaurant. 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!

The gentleman we spoke to when trying to make a reservation, refused to attempt to understand English and at the end of the conversation, I repeated clearly in French slowly, our reservation details. Of course, when we arrived we had been omitted from the reservation list. "This is the only table left" we were firmly told pointing to a small table in the middle of a lounge area, as we surveyed the half empty dining room. It was noticeable that the only two parties who spoke in English were seated in the same area outside the main dining room, furthest from the prized window over the St Lawrence. Interestingly, a Francophone gentleman arrived twenty minutes later, also without a reservation and was promptly seated by the window without any fuss. There were never less than three window tables available, the whole time we were there. Both the soup and the salad appetisers were unexceptional, except that the salad had some grit in it. The seafood risotto had clams, mussels, shrimp, bacon in it and was correctly al dente. The Confit du Canard was fine, with mushroom Papadelle. As my partner said "it is all right". The fruit sorbet and crème brûlée were standard, the first gave the impression that it was of commercial origin and the latter had hardly any crust. We were told "the tip is not included" loudly when presented with the bill.

Luckily for us, they manage to find a four-seated table. The good: Service was number one. Waitress did not speak English and she really felt bad about it. She also felt bad that our orders were taking time to arrive (trust me, they were not. The delay was a normal one). Everyone was very satisfied with their meals (mac and cheese, shrimps brochette, meatball plate, pork chop). My father in-law said this is " the best pork chop he ever had " (and he had quite a few). Decor is magnificent. The bad: They were out of Rickard's Red beer. During the night, l experienced very tough stomach and intestinal pain (which might confirms that my meatballs were indeed not that fresh, made a day or two in advance?) but l was not sick, just awake for the night. Mac and cheese reheated was not good. We tried to make a reservation for a few days later but once again, it was full. This place is EXTREMELY popular. There is a good chance that you might not eat there if you just show up. This was our favourite restaurant throughout our trip. Worth the stop. You just have to plan it and reserve.

Smoked meat of course is the specialty of the house and I would recommend it. The lunch portion is a reasonable portion of (slightly spongy) rye bread with yellow mustard and fries. It's a good amount. For dessert, I really recommend what they call "unemployed man's pudding" (in French Pudding Chomeur) which is actually just a maple syrup cake. A small portion of this sweet stuff is all you need to finish off your meal. They do have tons of other things for lunch - the smoked salmon salad looked good, as did the rotisserie chicken. It's all Pepsi here. No Coke.
