Vices Versa - La Malbaie

This is in someways a unique dining experience where a husband and wife team with their own kitchen space within same restaurant provide a different take on the basic predominant. ingredient in fact traditional french versus a more modern quebecois new world cuisine. It is a modern interior design with a limited tables open three evenings. The desserts in most Canadian restaurants, are generally very rich with the use of caramel,maple and honey sauces, rich creams and the dreaded sugar laden white chocolate with little finesse like european french patisserie.It was pretty much the case here and we declined as it was also additional to rather expensive CAN$88 taxes not included two course menu. It was also stated you could not request any modifications to the menu in terms of your personal dietary requirements or the method of cooking.Unfortunately arctic char was firm and dry instead of tender and moist and this is not the way to cook fish and you would not expect this in any fine dining establishment The hot and cold foie gras dishes we had were quality but somewhat nude in their presentation little creativity and presentation

This was a unique experience. The dining area was intimate. Only a limited number of tables are available each day. The food preparation was excellent. You choose two dinners for a fixed price. Each chef prepares the entree differently. You may choose both dinners from the same chef or one from each. We had scallops from both sides of the menu and Arctic Char and Quail. All were delicious. The chefs were visible while preparing our meals. It is suggested you allow two hours to fully enjoy the dining experience. We were very glad we tried this restaurant. We recommend it.

On the final night of our Montreal/QC/La Malbaie vacation, we had a very wonderful meal at Vices Versa. It was our best meal of many great ones on our trip; and one of the best I have had anywhere. Amazing food and beautifully presented.

Just wish this gem stands over the years !! Everything is a piece of culinary artwork We’ve been here over the years !!

This menu allows you to try dishes two ways. The husband cooks what is on one side of the menu, the wife cooks what is on the other side. And the results are fabulous. The food could not have been more delicious, creative, well presented. And the service was some of the friendliest we have seen, especially since the waitress is related to the chefs. Highly recommend this restaurant for anyone who loves fine dining. Our only regret is that they were closed the next night, so we could not return for another meal. By far the best food we ate while in Quebec.
