We made reservations for our anniversary dinner. & I cannot say enough good things about this restaurant - everything was perfect! Highly suggest the rabbit poutine, cassoulet, & salted honey cake! Even tried the local gin. You won't be disappointed!

Wonderful dining experience. We shared the cassoulet for two, which was the tastiest I've ever had. The duck & sausage were incredible, though the rabbit was a bit too gamey & dry. Excellent kids menu. Good wine menu. The quebecois red wine was surprisingly excellent. Attentive service & cozy atmosphere. We were lucky to get a table walking in & I recommend reservations.

This restaurant was on the recommendation list of the hotel we're staying at. We'd made a reservation & were very glad we did. Our table was ready when we arrived. The service was attentive & friendly. Susan & I shared the Cassoulet pour 2, which was both delicious & comforting. If we lived in Quebec City it would be easy to become a regular at this lovely restaurant.

We loved everything about Le Lapin sauté. Great atmosphere, good & friendly service, & great food. Quebecoise discoveries, with a nice selection of cured meats, pates & cheese. Salad with rabbit kidney & liver. Cassoulet. It really is a gem ✔️✔️

Service was excellent.Ambience was excellent. Most of the food was very good. French onion soup was excellent. Cassoulet was poor: beans way overcooked & mushy, too much bean liquid, dish needed herbs & was very bland. For desserts, honey pie was very good.

Ambiance chaleureuse, les plats que nous avons mangés (cassoulets) étaient délicieux. Pensez à réserver car la salle est petite !

A super lunch! Very nice staff & atmosphere, a lovely relaxed experience. Seemed very child friendly. Would recommend booking if going for supper as they were fully booked when we tried to drop in the previous evening. Rabbit leg & duck sausage cassoulet was delicious & the rabbit pot pie was also splendid. Highly recommend!
