Restaurant L'Orchidée
A downtown institution opened in 1995, where slow-roasted ribeye, seafood platters and local cheese set menus cost less than fine-dining prices.
Located on Saint-Étienne Street in the town centre and open since 1995, the restaurant focuses on French cuisine, charcoal grilling and seafood, all made with local ingredients. The signature is slow-roasted ribeye. Other dishes include Basque farm duck breast, homemade seafood chowder and a seafood platter with lobster tail, shrimp and crab, which can be paired with a Charlevoix cheese platter from the Maurice Dufour cheese dairy. Lobster is served only in season. Several table d'hôte set menus are offered. About CAD 40–70 per person, and it is one of the top-ranked restaurants in La Malbaie on TripAdvisor. Dinner only; reserve ahead in summer.
