Absolutely wonderful! Loved the quaint & cozy atmosphere. The food was delicious. I had The rabbit pot pie & my husband had the pork. The cheese fondue was the best I've ever had & our server was fun, gave us great recommendations & was attentive.

Very small place. But the food was good & service was great. Wasn't big fun of the pie & soup (it was warm), but the rest was good. Would come back try other dishes!

It's a small restaurant with no more than 15 tables, & given how popular it is, you'd better make a reservation in advance if you plan to eat there. We tried the onion soup, poutine, rabbit pie, & cassoulet, accompanied by hot cider-everything was succulent & super yummy! I really hope I can go there again.

Loved our dining experience! Charming & quaint inside. Our waiter was delightful & he had great recommendations. The bartender & other waitress were helpful & smiling. Unfortunately, we weren't too hungry - I wish we were because everything looked so good. We had the French onion soup & soup du jour, sweet potato - both amazing. The Quebec wine & salted honey pie were sooo good. Highly recommend - a charming, delightful, warm & wonderful place. Make a reservation for sure. Merci, La Lapin Sauté!

Not sure why this restaurant is rated so highly (currently 4.6 stars by 3.7K reviewers). The higher prices for this area are to be expected, however the meal was incredibly disappointing.
Our servers were lovely, the portion sizes & presentation good, but the food was bland &/or overcooked. My partner got the rabbit pot pie, & I the salmon steak. We do not recommend this restaurant, there are better options within walking distance.

The food here was incredible! Our favorite spot that we ate while in Quebec. The rabbit pot pie & rabbit poutine were delicious. The service was great, they brought us a special dessert for celebrating our honeymoon! A must try!!

This extremely cozy & charming small restaurant in Quebec City is one of those places that transports you back in time with the rustic vibe & dishes & truly attentive service .

We had made reservations few weeks in advance & glad we did as this place will fill up quick .

The staff was very friendly & our waitress explained the menu to us . The menu does have a theme of rabbit based dishes & duck.

We asked for some gin based cocktails & she recommended some of the local gins to try & their flavor profiles . We tried the floral version of a Gin Tonic & the herbal version of their Negroni . Both were outstanding & went well with our main courses .

As it's not every day you find cassoulet on menus , we got both versions to try . The rabbit leg & the duck leg (not pictured) .
Their version is less heavy than other cassoulet but this is a good thing . The duck sausage is juicy & memorable as it sits on top of a bed of properly prepared beans & rustic cut carrots . Small pieces of lardon are caramelized adding their unique depth of flavor to the dish . Rabbit leg is well prepared & maintains its juicy flavor without having dried out . It's a challenging kind of protein that can easily dry out . It here ! They know their rabbit here !

A plus was our waitress asked about gluten free & could omit breadcrumbs on top of the cassoulet.

dessert menu we tried the maple syrup crème brulle which was light & maple tines shined though.

A great location & cozy restaurant that you need to visit.Make sure reservations are made in advance . Step outside after dinner at night & enjoy the prime location & charm .
