Amazing food, great service! A bit on the pricey side, but if you can afford it, then you should definitely go for it!

My husband and I come to La Malbaie every year , and we make it a point on reserving in advance at Vices et Versa. This year we brought my brother in law and his wife , and sister n law and her husband. They were flabargasted with the culinary experience.
My hisband and I , again were very impressed with the delicate and delicious presentation for each serving. We were so excited to have brought out family that we kept tasting everyones meal. We had wanted to try out the other two reputable restaurants in the area and had booked at the patriarche Sunday evening only to have regretted a wonderful opportunity to dine at Vice Versa for a second night . Waste of time and money because it was a super disapointement , but that is another review already submitted . Hence, it will most definitely be the last time we waste our time in any other restaurant when in Charlevoix. Next year we will book the two suppers at Vices Versa. They renovated the place to make it yet more inviting, Versa has added artisinal chocolate delights on the menu and can be purchased at the counter. They will be opening Friday for lunch as of next week, is will most definitely satisfy all the professional workers that prefer a real gastronomical lunch on Fridays , make it a different taste palpitating luncheon experience to close off a hard earned week. Better then the typical fast food choice. It s too bad we live 5 hours drive away, because we would have our personal table at this gem of a restaurant.
We never leave without going and see both Chef , husband and wife , because let s not deny they are Truly Artists in their field. If two people can cook up a meal and send us to Heaven they deserve great honors.
If in La Malbaie, Baie St paul, Charlevoix, heck if you are in Ste Annede Beaupré, it will most definitely be a huge loss should you miss the experience of Vices et Versa s delicious gastronomical experience .
One more thing , the service is absolutely impeccable. The waitresses have been there since the very beginning they seem as excited to serve us our dish as we are to eat at there establishment . All in all this restaurant exceeds our expectations and deserves the Number 1 cuisine in the area by a milestone . thank you Vice et Versa for a wonderful evening , from your regular italian gal from repentigny quebec .

What an amazing meal, well presented and delicately prepared. Service was at times slow but the warmth of the wait staff made up for it. Bottom line, if you like French fool, you won't be disappointed.

I have to say, I wasn't expecting such an amazing meal. We ended up here because we couldn't get a reservation at the top rated restaurant that night, which we eventually ate at the next day, and it didn't compare. Trust me and try this place. It was a rainy night and we pretty much had the place to ourselves ( to our good fortune). The food was the best meal I've ever had, and I'm touring in spain right now and just ate at a 5 star restaurant and I miss their food. And just to let you know, I don't eat only at expensive places but just want good food. It is bad for me to keep comparing other restaurants to them as I'm getting disappointed now. It was so good, we ate their twice in 3 days because sometimes (not often) you get that feeling and you know it is the right thing to do. Now I know if I ever go back to the area, I'm not spending my money elsewhere for dinner. I only tried the little dishes and not an entree but I cannot see that being an issue on their quality. We tried just about every little dish on the menu over the 2 nights and nothing disappointed. The reason I mentioned we were lucky to be alone in the restaurant is that we could see the 2 chefs peeking at us during our dinner to see where we were in our meal so they could time their cooking perfectly for us. I've never had that kind of service and wouldn't be able to rent out a whole restaurant for this experience ever again. We didn't find the service slow at all, as it helped us enjoy their food and give us time to digest because you will be very full, even though you don't think so choosing only 3 small dishes. I know the 2of them were cooking everything from scratch as we got to meet the chefs after dinner which I recommend if you get the chance. The 2nd time we ate there, there were many more patrons and the service was similar. Coincidentally, we were at the farmers market the next day and saw the chefs buying produce for the day.

Ate here twice during our stay in La Malbaie. The food is simply outstanding. Everything we ate, was second to none. Reservations a must. Service is very professional but can be a little slow, but still well worth it. This is a slice of restaurant heaven!
