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.

Service was excellent.Ambience was excellent. Most of the food was very good. French onion soup was excellent. Cassoulet was poor: beans way overcooked & mushy, too much bean liquid, dish needed herbs & was very bland. For desserts, honey pie was very good.

Only the onion soup was ok, rabbit pie was tasteless & the « Quebec discoveries » were pretty disappointing. We went there cuz many restaurants are closed on Mondays

A super lunch! Very nice staff & atmosphere, a lovely relaxed experience. Seemed very child friendly. Would recommend booking if going for supper as they were fully booked when we tried to drop in the previous evening. Rabbit leg & duck sausage cassoulet was delicious & the rabbit pot pie was also splendid. Highly recommend!

Great location, somewhat small but well organised so get a reservation to get in & get it early! Food: rabbit poutine starter amazing (best part of our meal & some of the best around!), rabbit pies good, chocolate truffle dessert fab, pear dessert was not good (undercooked). Overall, we enjoyed our meal & would suggest this location but would say it's popular so be aware it will be a treat

L'ambiance du vieux Québec un jour d'été indien exceptionnel, quel pied ! En plus de plats savoureux & originaux, un régal. Ne pas hésiter à y aller mais réserver car en période estivale, c'est blindé & j'ai compris pourquoi à l'usage 😀

The food was amazing. However, our table was right beside the entrance door, even though we had reservations for a special occasion for 2 & arrived when the restaurant wasn't full. My fault for accepting it, but my spouse is easy going. The fake plants & decor behind me at our table were very dusty. The quality of the food was worth all the other disappointing things. Had the Lapin pot pie & Lapin leg. Loved both.
