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.

Great experience on a Monday night in late winter at Le Lapin Saute. The atmosphere was cozy without being crowded, & rabbit themed without being too cute. Service was flawless - just the right amount of attention, recommendations, pace. We don't speak Quebecoise but the staff had impeccable English & made us feel welcomed. (This was true everywhere we went in Quebec City even as Canadian & American politicians are at odds.)

Food - we had rabbit poutine as an appetizer & a rabbit-duck sampler (with fondue) as our entree. Delicious, beautiful, unusual in a warm & rich good way.

This charming restaurant offers a cute & cozy atmosphere that immediately makes you feel at home. The food is authentic & delicious; we started with foie gras paired with champagne, followed by a rabbit stew complemented by local red wine, both of which were outstanding. For dessert, the crème brûlée was absolutely divine! What truly elevated our experience was our server, Delphine, whose warmth & positivity made our visit unforgettable. Her exceptional service added a delightful touch to an already wonderful meal. Highly recommend!

Our last dinner in Quebec was at Le Lapin Sauté. The restaurant is small & cozy & warm with a fireplace. The atmosphere so friendly. The food was piping hot & delicious. I had the Duck Confit Parmentier & it came with a delicious leafy green salad. The portion was large. My husband had the grilled cheese- also delicious, & accompanied by french fries & salad. The prices are crazy reasonable! We thoroughly enjoyed our meal. Thank you to the lovely staff & chef.
