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.

We just loved this place! Servers were friendly & helpful. The mixed appetizer plates were fabulous & let you try a little bit of everything. The cassoulet was hearty & great even if I will admit it wasn't authentic French cassoulet - it was still very good. Our server suggested adding a second duck confit so I wouldn't have to share mine! Haha. We came back later that night for dessert because we were too full at lunch. Would highly recommend the honey pie! Ambience on the patio was lovely

I visited the restaurant for lunch with my son. The setting was warm & friendly from the moment you step in. The food was delicious! Extremely tasty & a great selection, even for my son who is selective. I had the rabbit breast with delicious sautéed vegetables served with the tasty sauces. The salad was also delicious. Highly recommend this for anyone looking for a unique experience.

My husband & I came to Quebec City for a mini honeymoon. Le Lapin Sauté came recommended to us by many people & it did not disappoint. We were greeted with a warm welcome, seated near a beautiful fireplace & treated to a complimentary cocktail. The service was A1 & the food was even better. I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone visiting Quebec City!
