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.

Le Lapin Sauté was such a fun & memorable dining experience in the heart of Old Québec. The restaurant has a warm, lively atmosphere, with excellent food & wine that everyone in our group thoroughly enjoyed.

Our server was fantastic-friendly, funny, & incredibly engaging-which made the evening even more entertaining. The team also helped us celebrate a birthday, making the dinner feel especially festive & personal. The rabbit saddle & French onion soup were both absolutely delicious.

A charming boutique restaurant with wonderful hospitality, great energy, & memorable cuisine. We would happily return!

Amazingly good...from the French onion soup which was salted just right...the fries were fresh cut....& the cassoulet with duck sausage, rabbit leg & wonderfully buttery beans & pork were savoury & perfect... even the rabbit which is usually dry was done perfectly & with the sauce in the beans was a perfect pairing. All the staff worked together & the setting was very French & pub-like at the same time.

Rabbit Poutine! YES! Our favourite restaurant in Old Quebec City. Had a couple of icy cold Kronenbourg 1664 Blanc & shared a Rabbit Poutine & French Onion Soup on the cool, shady patio. Don't miss this great spot if you are in Vieux-Québec. Always busy, but easy to make a reservation online.

Lovely little restaurant. Charming ambience & delicious food. We had the cassoulet with the rabbit leg, french onion soup & the summer salad. Everything was so good. My favorite was the dessert...salted honey pie. One of the best desserts I have ever had!

Le Lapin Sauté absolutely lived up to its reputation. Everything we ordered was excellent, from the rich French onion soup & foie gras to the rabbit poutine, rabbit pot pie, & rabbit roulade. Each dish was flavorful, perfectly prepared, & showcased rabbit in a different way.

The atmosphere was warm, inviting, & very intimate-it's a small space that probably can't accommodate more than 20 people. The service was friendly & attentive, & the whole experience felt quintessentially Québécois.

Highly recommended!

?We had to make a reservation before arriving at dinner time. I absolutely loved the atmosphere; it was both cozy & vibrant.
?For starters, we had the French onion soup, followed by the Mushroom Ravioli & the Game Burger for our mains. The onion soup & ravioli were quite good. However, the burger had a very strong, gamey aroma; it honestly felt a bit like live stock with every bite. While the quality of the meat was clearly good, I've definitely had better burgers. If you prefer your meat to taste more neutral & dislike the strong smell of lamb fat or heavy beef, this might not be the burger for you.
?Service was also a bit on the slower side, with a pretty long wait between our starter & the main courses.
