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.

One of the best recommendations I received in Quebec City! We didn't have reservation, got on the waiting list, went for a short walk in the area, for less than 30min & got seated in the terrace. Beautiful decor, excellent service & tasty dishes! Had to try their Rabbit Poutine & the small fondue that did not disappoint! Highly recommended!

La poutine au lapin effiloché & sauce aux deux moutardes était vraiment extraordinaire. Comme plat principal j'ai commandé le magret de canard qui n'a pas déçu lui non plus. La tarte au miel salé était tout simplement wow! Ce fut un repas sublime! Les portions sont aussi très généreuses.

Make reservations. It's quite intimate inside & fills up quick.
Absolutely adorable. You feel like you're in a rabbit burrow. The decor is so cute. The pulled rabbit poutine was great. The small appetizer poutine was already the perfect size to share along with our smoked duck winter salad & onion soup. The only thing was that I wished the soup had more broth than cheese.
All in all, a great meal everytime.

6 ans à hésiter de venir manger ici. J'aurais due venir il y a longtemps! Simplement délicieux! la décoration est romantique, c'est pas tres grand ce qui offre un service rapide & une bonne ambiance! J'ai essayé la poutine au lapin effiloché avec la sauce brune. La viande etait tendre, la sauce bien équilibrée & le fromage frais.

Always a hit! French Onion soup is the best in town, plus can't miss the Rabbit Poutine…try the mustard sauce. I stop in each visit to Quebec City - p.s. try the Vin Chaud if you're there in the winte

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.
