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.

As I was in Quebec City, I intended to experience something local & authentic. The staff in the restaurant advised me to try out the renowned duck & rabbit dishes. I went with the Tout lapin tout canard (Raised rabbit leg, duck leg confit, rabbit rillettes, duck foie gras terrine, smoked duck breast, roasted garlic, vegetables, roasted potatoes, bread croutons & marinade) It was a dish for first-time tourists like myself. I also ordered the Rabbit Poutine along with it. It will be a completely new & surprising taste for your taste buds. It depends from person to person if they will like it or not. Overall, it was a wonderful experience that I thoroughly enjoyed. Something intriguing to discover!

Très bon restaurant, joli cadre, jolie terrasse chauffée, la poutine à l'effiloché de lapin à la diable était excellente, le cassoulet au lapin également, les plats servis à la table voisine nous faisaient saliver aussi !

It is a nice small restaurant in a historic building. Staff was friendly. We had a lunch there. Unfortunately a food which we selected did not meet our expectations. Poutine with rabbit was okay but not as good as we had earlier in another place.

The pumpkin spice soda was awesome. It tasted like October. The gravy rabbit poutine couldn't have been better. If you're wondering about portion sizes, the restaurant seems to do them well. Not too small, not too big you leave uncomfortably full.

Terrasse bien aménagée & conviviale. Service courtois. Un peu décevant côté "nourriture" cette fois-ci. Pour notre repas, les frites de la "poutine" semblaient être des frites congelées à peine réchauffées & le lapin effiloché ainsi que la sauce étaient minimalistes. La tourte de lapin était bonne mais avec très peu de chair de lapin & plus de pommes de terre que prévu. L'entrée de rillette de lapin était par contre savoureuse.
