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.

A very cozy restaurant. The staff let us dine just before the dinner rush hour despite not having a reservation. The waiter we had was really friendly & made funny banter. The rabbit poutine in mustard sauce was the best poutine I've had in my life! Highly recommend.

Un très joli restaurant, cadre chaleureux dans la rue du petit Champlain. Accueil sympathique & une cuisine délicieuse. J'ai beaucoup apprécié que les frites ne soient pas molles dans la poutine mais croustillantes.

A very Sweet, Quaint, Romantic escape into the past. You'll ask yourself if you're in Quebec or France.... not for picky kids like mine unfortunately .. but we took them anyway.. thankfully little one still enjoyed the Crepe. On the other hand, We enjoyed some delicious French dishes. Rabbit poutine, duck foie gras, duck confit & of course to finish it off we HAD to have the creme brulee. The service was excellent & accommodating. Very friendly. You have to make reservations as this place seems to always be fully booked..its a very cozy small restaurant so you can't expect to get a spot on the whim. Plan ahead & make this stop a must!

Great spot with a distinct menu. The shared plates are wonderful as is everything else we tried here, including the rabbit pot pie & the rabbit poutine. Soups were also wonderful. Highly recommend, though I don't usually recommend places in such trafficked tourist areas, as they are often second tier...this is a true exception. A must do dining experience.

Très bien, très agréable, avec des plats frais & de qualité.
Juste attention à ne pas forcer à la consommation sur les boissons car je me suis retrouvée avec un 2e verre de vin chaud alors que j'avais dit que je voulais attendre. Mais bon ce n'est pas grand chose, le vin chaud était tellement bon ! Je reviendrais avec plaisir (je n'aime pas la poutine mais la vôtre est super bonne ! bravo!)

3 étoiles, car la poutine de lapin, était très économe en sauce. Par compte, à la demande, la serveuse en a rapporté & cette sauce était excellente.

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
