Versa Restaurant, a trendy establishment located in the hip Saint Roch area of Quebec City, was the city’s exclusive oyster bar, renowned for its seafood offerings. The restaurant featured warm wood tones and beautiful lighting, creating a pleasant atmosphere.

The service was exceptional; attentive staff ensured that any needs were promptly addressed. During our visit, my family and I enjoyed a delightful meal, starting with a selection of fresh oysters from Cooke’s Cove, Prince Edward Island, and Pristine Bay, Nova Scotia, accompanied by various Tabasco sauces.

The Canadian Bluefin Tuna Tartare, served with cherry tomatoes, kalamata olives, green beans, cucumber, and marinated quail egg, was a standout appetizer. The tuna was excellently prepared, and the flavors were well-balanced.

A unique and memorable dish was the Smoked Duck and Foie Gras Creme Brulee, an unconventional take on a classic dessert. The Grilled Octopus Cavatelli with Tomato and Bone Marrow Sauce featured homemade cavatelli and a rich, flavorful sauce, making it another highlight of the meal.

Dessert options were equally impressive, with a seasonal selection of butternut squash cake and corn ice cream, both showcasing creativity and deliciousness.

The seafood platter for 2-4 was a perfect choice, featuring fresh lobster, flavorful scallops, and delicious whelk. The menu also offered other outstanding options, with a notable Chardonnay to complement the dishes.

In terms of food quality, every dish exceeded expectations. Fresh oysters and calamari were a delightful start, and the salmon tartare provided a unique and enjoyable experience. The seared tuna with risotto was expertly prepared, and the cheeseburger with oka cheese, bacon, and caramelized onions was a savory delight.

Overall, Versa Restaurant provided an exceptional dining experience with its outstanding seafood, creative dishes, and attentive service. It was a must-visit destination for seafood enthusiasts in Quebec City.
