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.

Delicious local food, fresh and seasonal, always made on point. Each meal I had here was simply…read moreamazing. 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.

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)".

You get 2 pounds of these guys with the broth of your choice. After a while the fries become an afterthought but they were very good as well. We ordered the mussels Marinière and Dominus. Delicious. We also ordered the Surprise aux Pommes avec Coulis au Sucre à la crème for dessert aka "it's to die for." We dined outside because the upper deck wasn't yet open but had a nice view of the river from our table. Great service, excellent food and competitive prices. A place we will definitely return to.

Who serves overdone frites with a baked potato? Corn was unexpected, and again, a bit odd. Two steaks of different cuts, both medium? Nope! One was fine in terms of cooking... but who has a NY steak a 1/2 inch thick? The other thickness fine, but still mooing. Some side of gravy was simply GOD AWFUL. Forget the steaks; maybe forget the whole meal. Order a drink or maybe a sandwich at best and head upstairs. Don't waste your time in the Ponderosa of Quebec.

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.

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.
