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.

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!

This place was highly recommended. It was our first time in Quebec city & we wanted a memorable experience. My husband ordered a beer & we ordered wine to share with his meal. I ordered the rabbit saddle & he the rabbit pie. We were shocked when halfway through his beer, the meal arrived not even 10 minutes later. There were 3 medallions of rabbit. The smallest piece was tough. The others tender. It looked hastily arranged on the plate & the meal was Luke warm. The crust on my husband's pie was chewy & the side salad was nothing special. We were so disappointed. Will never go back. Not my idea of a dining experience in Quebec.

Never tried rabbit before. It was delicious. The staff were very patient & friendly. The salted honey pie is a must have. I highly recommend this restaurant! Sorry I opened the pot pie before the photo.

Posto molto carino e caratteristico. Abbiamo preso il sandwich al formaggio grigliato che era molto buono e la pie al coniglio, buona ma un po' piccola.

It was my first time trying rabbit & I have to say this is the best spot to try it & I loved it. Very cute & cozy atmosphere. Whoever made our dishes was an angel & especially the honey pie.

Excellent dinner at Le Lapin Sauté. We ordered the roast duck magerit (generous portion size of tender & juice roasted duck with roasted potatoes in gravy, stuffed rabbit saddle, & tout lapin & canard - a sharing tasting plate for two). Finished with salted honey pie, maple creme brûlé & the molten chocolate cake.
Service was friendly & environment was cosy & comfortable.
I would recommend.
