What a delicious meal experience we enjoyed last evening. We both ordered the rabbit pot pie & it did not disappoint. After coffee & maple crème brûlée, we were on our way. Perfect.

We loved our experience at Le Lapin Sauté! We began with the Quebec Discoveries shared appetizers - every morsel was delicious! We both ordered the pan-seared trout. Crispy skin, filet set atop a bounty of roasted carrots & haricots verts, & a scrumptious puréed squash. We finished with the salted honey pie, which was to die for! Highly recommended!

We recently visited Montreal & booked a meal at Le Lapin Saute following reviews on travel review sites - we were not disappointed. We chose the three course option & the food was delicious especially the saddle of rabbit & the pot pie. The local rhubarb cake was also very good. We would recommend this restaurant but make sure to book as it is very popular.

Le Lapin Sauté was highly recommended & it did not disappoint. The staff was very friendly & provided excellent suggestions. We had a rabbit & duck sample dish with potatoes, carrots, different sauces & the rabbit & duck were fixed different ways. I had a recommended white eine. We ended with the honey pie with creme. Everything was delicious. We had a wonderful time.

French onion soup was delightful. Husband enjoyed his rabbit pot pie & sugar pie. I'm not fond of meat & game so I can't comment appropriately.
