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.

Small location so make sure to book ahead of time if possible. Food was delicious, atmosphere was very cozy. Location is great, bottom of break neck steps. Lots of shops nearby. I ordered the Eggs Benedict Rabbit Confit & it was amazing. My wife ordered the avocado toast with smoke salmon & it was delicious as well. Would highly recommend this location & plan on returning the next time we visit Quebec City.

Excellent spot. A very cozy place with great service & incredible food. The pork leg was a delightful surprise-flavorful & perfectly balanced. One of my favorite places in Le Petit Champlain.

We stopped by for coffee & dessert, & it was such a lovely experience. The decorations were very different & interesting, giving the place a unique charm. The staff were warm & welcoming. We sat right beside an authentic fireplace-hearing the crackling fire (without any smoke!) made it extra cozy.

The desserts were truly a different experience 🤤😋. After walking in freezing weather, enjoying delicious desserts & a great cup of coffee here is an absolute must. Highly recommended!

This restaurant is so cozy, the waitresses are so inviting & polite. I especially enjoyed the warm cider by the fire, follow with a warm rabbit cassoulet & the discovery plate. It's a lovely romantic little spot.

From the cozy fireplace to the friendly & helpful staff, we had a wonderful visit. The winter salad was delicious, as was the pork roast with carrots & parsnips. Intimate & fun.

Very cozy atmosphere, excellent service, & delicious food, the shared Quebec discoveries appetizer was such a great way to try a sampling of everything, & even with every table full it didn't feel too crowded & our food came out in a very timely manner.
