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.

This is one of the most popular restaurant in the Petit Champlain. It is cozy with an outdoor sitting area where you have a nice view at the ever hustling Rue Petit Champlain. The staff was nice & prompt. The food was good.

Excellent petit restaurant charmant & cozy, on a pris le plateau complet à partager pour trois, avec la saucisse & la fondue en extra & c'était assez pour un lunch léger. Le plateau est un super choix pour pouvoir tout essayer & se gâter la palette gourmande. En dessert, la poire ainsi que la crème brûlée étaient parfaits & légers. C'est aussi une bonne adresse pour essayer des vins & spiritueux locaux, comme des cidres, de l'hydromel (vin au miel) & le vin au cassis.

Wonderful meal at Le Lapin Saute. They had some special hot drinks for the night (mulled wine, hot cider, hot cocoa) & I took advantage of the Hot Cider with some spiced rum. Hubby had a dirty martini with a local Canadian Vodka which was very good. We split the main course for two which was perfect for trying the many interesting menu selections including some interesting preparations. A nice bottle of Languedoc paired perfectly. The servers were friendly & attentive. I highly recommend this cozy restaurant.
