My brother & I were in Québec City for a wedding, & loved the ambience of this restaurant from the streets in Le Petit Champlain, so we decided to Google it & see what the menu was like.

We loved the cozy rustic vibe of this place. We tried the Rabbit & Duck Cassoulet for 2. With no exaggeration, we felt like it was one of the best meals we had during our stay. We are so happy we made a reservation in advance, because we watched them turn many parties away due to how busy & full they were with reservations!

Staff was very friendly & made sure to check on us often.

Would love to come back here any time I'm in Québec City!

L’ambiance de la rue peut être sympa pour y manger mais les plats ne sont pas à la hauteur des avis que nous avions lu. Je n’ai pas retrouvé le goût du lapin, gros manque de caractère dans les assiettes & plats mal assaisonnés.

Le cassoulet n’a malheureusement rien d’un cassoulet…

Le service était cependant impeccable

Although the food was well prepared & flavorful, I would suggest a bit more seasoning on the cassoulet. Also, a little bit more attention on the preparation of the rabbit leg as I thought my portion was slightly dry. But still...very delicious.

Très bon restaurant, joli cadre, jolie terrasse chauffée, la poutine à l'effiloché de lapin à la diable était excellente, le cassoulet au lapin également, les plats servis à la table voisine nous faisaient saliver aussi !

I enjoy eating rabbit & found all the story & info written about this restaurant so interesting that I wanted to try it. Glad we did. Overall it was good, the atmosphere lovely & great service. Our appetizer, The rabbit rilletes was delicious. I then had the rabbit saddle & my husband had the seafood Cassoulets ( at a rabbit restaurant). My rabbit was well cooked, tender & delicious. the parsnips delicious but the green beans overcooked. Overall glad I tried it but my dad still made the best rabbit to date, wish I had watched him more carefully.

Pas à la hauteur de nos attentes. Le plat (cassoulet) était froid & manquait de goût. Très déçu de notre expérience.

The cassoulet w/ duck sausage & rabbit leg was amazing, as was the rabbit saddle, the fondue, & maple creme brulee. Our waitress was very nice & attentive. Can't wait to come back soon!
