Review Summary

Le Lapin Sauté is widely celebrated as a charming, cozy, and quintessential destination in Old Quebec City, particularly favored for its authentic rabbit and duck specialties. Many visitors praise the restaurant for its warm, welcoming staff, impeccable service, and a picturesque patio perfect for people watching in the Petit Champlain district. While the majority of diners highlight the high quality of dishes like the rabbit poutine, cassoulet, and salted honey pie, some guests have noted inconsistencies in food preparation, occasional service delays, or a preference for larger portion sizes. Despite the high demand making reservations essential, most guests consider it a must-visit venue that captures a unique, intimate atmosphere suitable for families and romantic outings alike.

Le Lapin Sauté was such a fun & memorable dining experience in the heart of Old Québec. The restaurant has a warm, lively atmosphere, with excellent food & wine that everyone in our group thoroughly enjoyed.

Our server was fantastic-friendly, funny, & incredibly engaging-which made the evening even more entertaining. The team also helped us celebrate a birthday, making the dinner feel especially festive & personal. The rabbit saddle & French onion soup were both absolutely delicious.

A charming boutique restaurant with wonderful hospitality, great energy, & memorable cuisine. We would happily return!

The food we ordered was very good, & the foie gras in particular was excellent. Our server was also friendly & attentive, which made for a pleasant dining experience.

I understand that the restaurant specializes in rabbit dishes, but I was expecting a more diverse menu with a wider variety of options. In fairness, I should have looked at the menu before making the reservation, so that's on me. Even so, I would have appreciated having a few more non-rabbit choices available.

Overall, the quality of the food was very good, & I would recommend it to anyone who enjoys the restaurant's specialty.

Want to experience good Quebec food, this is it. The server was excellent. When my ice wine came out too early for the main course (with Foie gras as part of it), she shook her head & say that is too early, & won't be at the right temperature with the main. Took it back & keep it chilled. Much appreciated her attention to details. Food was excellent. Highly recommended.

Abbiamo avuto qui un'ottima cena a base di coniglio, anche se c'erano anche opzioni di pesce.
Prezzi abbastanza alti ma in linea con la città, prenotazione consigliata dato che il posto è abbastanza piccolo.
Molto consigliata la rabbit pot pie!!
