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.

Wonderful evening in this charming little spot. We enjoyed the shared appetizer featuring various preparations of duck & rabbit. Seafood cassoulet was divine as was the rabbit saddle. Our server was helpful & delightful. I definitely recommend a visit.

Le personnel (accueil, service aux tables) est extraordinaire.
La place est très chaleureuse quoique un peu bruyant.
Petit bémol sur l'entrée le caquelon de fromage du Québec & oignons croustillants: je cherche encore le fromage & les oignons. Nous étions 2 à avoir choisi cette entrée avec la même impression de manger de la crème épaissie. Aucun goût!
Pour le reste, les 5 convives ont adoré (entrée de canard fumé, cassoulet & râblé de lapin). Le dessert était sublime (crème brûlée au sirop d'érable & tarte au miel salé).
Je recommande ce restaurant.

The fondue & Lapin rillette were delicious to start. All entrees were amazing...highlights were Lapin pot pie & seafood cassoulet. Don't skip the salted honey pie. So good! Our server Delphine was delightful. Thank you for a nice evening!

Soupe à l'oignon & excellente...pour le reste, déception...Cassoulet plus qu'ordinaire: saucisse du, sèche & difficile à couper...la chair de la cuisse de lapin qui ne se détache pas facilement de l'os & peu goûteuse. La poutine: très peu de fromage ainsi que de lapin...fallait chercher...

Old Quebec is one of the most charming places I've ever been, & Le Lapin Saute absolutely fits in with the locale. It's a small restaurant (especially with the patio closed), but we had reservations & our vaccine passports so we got a little table all to ourselves. I have Celiac Disease, & they have a separate gluten free menu with many delicious choices. I went with the Cassoulet & had some gluten free bread on the side. My husband had the French Onion Soup & the Rabbit Pot Pie which he said were amazing. An intimate, romantic, European-style restaurant that we will definitely be visiting again!

Si je pourrais donner plus d'étoiles je le ferais. Nous étions 4 & avons adoré nos repas (cassoulet de fruits de mers, cassoulet à la viande, poutine au canard, tarte salée) & l'excellent service fort sympathique. La terrasse est très bien située au pied de la falaise à côté du parc sur la rue du Petit Champlain. Malgré la pluie ils se sont démener à bouger chaises & parasols pour nous garder au sec. Pour nous 2 ce fût une nouvelle découverte que nous allons répéter à notre prochaine visite à Québec. Pour les 2 autres habitués ce fût un agréable retour. Merci pour la belle expérience!
