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.

Service & food were excellent. Staff ran around around to set the outdoor area up for a rainstorm to allow visitors to stay in place as it passed overhead. The fondue was great, the rabbit was expertly prepared, & the Maple Creme Brulee & Shortcake Cookie with fruit were great desserts!

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.

Merci

service impeccable, plats intéressants mais le lapin n'était pas assez cuit, trop grande proximité des autres tables. gratuité du dessert en raison du manque de cuisson du lapin.

Would definitely recommend to visit & book reservations in advance! Just know they only serve breakfast on weekends! We wanted to go for breakfast, but we ended up having lunch- either way it was very delicious ! dessert was also amazing! The honey pie & sweet potato dessert was yummy! Rabbit was also perfect! As well as the shared appetizer!! Wish we could go back but it is super busy 😀

Awesome! Super! Magnifique! There's a good reason this place is packed with three seatings, on a Wednesday, in Québec, in nearly November. The rabbit pot pie is a must, & not heavy, at all. Wonderful flavors. I started with the smoked duck breast served with an amazing grainy mustard & jam. A very crisp Québec white, Les Petits Cailloux was enjoyed with it all. Dessert was a salted honey pie, which was somewhat life-changing & had me looking for a recipe as soon as I arrived back at my apartment. I loved my wonderful serveuse for putting up with my broken French. A lovely experience.

Excellent souper, vraiment bon. Il aurait été bien que notre serveuse vienne plus nous voir. Nous avons du interpeller une autre serveuse pour avoir d'autre pain & notre dessert.
