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.

What a great dining experience. The atmosphere is quaint, friendly & historic. We had the Tour Lapin Tout Canard platter & it did not disappoint. Such a great variety of food present on this platter. The add-ons are of great value as well. Everything tasted to perfection! The pulled rabbit poutine was also fantastic. Highly recommend going but make reservations. This is a popular spot.

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!!

A very busy bustling restaurant in the heart of Petit Champlain in Quebec City. Friendly, attentive service. Québecois food with amazing selections like the rabbit poutine. Despite being in a very touristy area-lots of locals eating in the restaurant-an indication of the quality & the authenticity.

The duck is great. We also tried rabbit poutine but it turns out not our type of dish.

Amazing place with delicious food. The variety of dishes, wine & cocktails is great. The rabbit poutine & veal steak were excellent. They have a great patio where you can relax & enjoy the meal. Reservations recommended. Totally recommend if you are visiting Quebec City!

I found this place through Google search for highly rated restaurants in old Quebec City & it did not disappoint. When we got to the restaurant, it was almost 12pm, as we didn't have a reservation, we were told that there would be seats available at 2pm. Very busy during the peak of summer! The inside & the patio seating area aren't very big so it fills up easily.

We ordered a rabbit poutine, French onion soup, rabbit leg & a kid's meal of salmon. The rabbit leg is excellent, I love the sweet potato puree. The beans & peas are soft, flavourful & plentiful. The onion soup was on the saltier side for me but if pairing with the rabbit leg, they go well together. We wanted to try at least one poutine dish while at Quebec so ordered the rabbit poutine as the restaurant is known for rabbit dishes.

The kids' menu is great & reasonably priced. It comes with a soup of the day, main, dessert & drink for $14. The portions are big enough to fill an adult. The soup is watermelon & veggie mixture, nice & cold on a hot day. We ordered a salmon dish & it came with a generous portion of salmon, lots of fries & peas & beans. Very healthy & tasty option for the kids.

The minor complaint is that the table is a bit small, it would have been okay if adults were dining, but with young kids, it feels a bit cramped.

Love the vibe of the street & the patio looks out onto a small park. Will be back when we visit Quebec again!

We arrived 30mins early & the staff was happy to accommodate. We shared the house salad & the rabbit poutine, both were really tasty. Definitely recommend this restaurant.
