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.

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.

The restaurant is beautiful, it is in the middle of Quartier Petit Champlain; the service was great. We had duck & rabbit, the duck is tasty, but rabbit is dry & not good at all.

We really enjoyed our dining experience at Le Lapin Saute. Our server, Maude, made excellent food & wine recommendations, & she gave excellent service, too! We enjoyed the rabbit & duck platter as well as a bottle of Bordeaux wine. BTW I ordered a cocktail expecting to get a mediocre drink, but it was reallly good! So, try a cocktail & maybe something you've never eaten before like rabbit, & you will be pleasantly surprised!

We had an exceptional time at Le Lapin Sauté! We had the special option with both rabbit in several forms, & duck confit. In addition, they were very accommodating for gluten-free options, even having a separate menu. We had such a wonderful experience, & hope we can come back in the future.

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.

Your food choices are varied & everything we chose was delicious. I started with the smoked salmon salad as an appetizer & then the smoked duck. My partner had the rabbit pate which was scrumptious , the cod, delicious as well & then we share the honey pie. Was lovely but a bit too rich for me.
