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.

Cute restaurant with friendly staff & tasty food! This is a touristy restaurant on a fun street but the food is very good! We enjoyed the Walleye, rabbit poutine, pesto pasta, etc! There was about a 30 minute wait but there are plenty of shops on the street to visit while waiting!

If you must eat at this place, do suggest to make a reservation to guarantee a table. We lucked out that there was a table available. Everything looks so good on the menu. Wasn't too hungry, wanted a sample of everything, on the menu there is a "To Share" . We got 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. The foie gras, your either going to like it or not. The server that brought our dish was excellent in informing us each part of the dish.

Great food ~ Duck Foie Gras Terrine is tasty. Rabbit meat poutine is good but the meat a little hard for my taste.

Dinner for two on summer evening. Had the rabbit poutine, seafood cassoulet & a pasta dish. All was very good. Service was friendly & responsive. I would eat here again. Obviously in a touristy area but still very good.

This was the perfect place for our last dinner in Quebec City. Definitely requires a reservation because the inside is small but jam packed with tables. We arrived a little early but we enjoyed sitting at the courtyard right next to the restaurant listening to a street music performer. Once we were seated our waitress was SO lovely even as she maneuvered around all the tight corners to all the tables. She suggested sparkling wine to start & we couldn't resist! Everything we had was so good (the fondue especially - I could have ordered this again as a main! Their specialty is rabbit & duck & we should have tried them, but we stuck with the fish & chicken options. Still very good. A little disappointed in the desserts, but we were also quite full at that point. Such cute decor & ambiance even as the night died down closer to closing. Worth it to visit!

We had dinner outside on the beautiful patio facing the courtyard. We ordered a few appetizers (the gazpacho & the foie gras) & the rabbit cassoulet to share, as well as beer & wine. An altogether beautiful meal in a beautiful setting, set just apart from the fray. The service was impeccable, too.
