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.

Amazing place, food was delicious, service was great. It was recommended by a local I met at the gate right before boarding to Quebec. We had a big dish to share that had a mix of rabbit, duck, liver pate & vegetables. It was really great.

Cozy little restaurant with many duck & rabbit entree choices you can't go wrong with

Would highly recommend the Taste of Quèbec appetizer & their cassoulet was one of my favorite dishes we've had in the City!

Our first time to Quebec City & we had a wonderfully memorable dinner out at this lovely restaurant.
Everyone was very welcoming . Sara, our server, took excellent care of us & was spot on with her suggestions . We started off with a Rose Cider, light, refreshing & bubbly. We wanted to taste a variety of food so we shared the Quebec discoveries plate for two & a delicious mixed salad with strawberries, & then shared the Cassoulet with Duck Sausage & confit duck leg. For dessert , we shared a piece of their amazing signature Honey pie that was so creamy, & just the right sweetness. Merci Beaucoup.

Third time last sunday & as always it was amazing. Great wine selection & nice cocktails. Decent-to-good service as you sometimes feel like the servers really want to upcharge you by excessively suggesting add-ons etc, but quick service as well, & I never ran out of anything.

The food is amazing & really a great way to experience Quebec cuisine & produce/meat. All flavors are insane, & the portions are generous, leaving you satisfied & full.

Personal highlight would be the duck foie gras terrine & the salted honey pie.

Our server Pascal made the experience most enjoyable & one we will not soon forget! His recommendation for the rabbit & duck platter for two paired with a delicious pinot noir followed with honey pie for dessert left all plates empty without over indulging. I highly recommend this restaurant but make reservations at least a week in advance.

We were welcomed without a reservation & our server was helpful & friendly. We had rabbit poutine & onion soup to start - both packed with flavour. Next we both had the cassoulet with duck leg - again packed with flavour & huge portions. It's was a little meat overload - but when in Quebec City right? For dessert we shared the maple creme brûlée which was divine.
