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.

The poutine was good with a nice seating area outside, but inside was very crowded. The beans were not cooked properly. All though this was a place with the rabbit being their main course, it was the worst out of all the dishes. The duck was amazing though.

We ordered the half portion of the huge plate $79, half portion is $44. Their waitress always recommends this expensive dish but nooooo, don't do the full size, not highly recommend. Rabbit leg is huge but not too much flavored. Friendly front desk outside. bread served was 2 cold 1 hot which is unusual. We waited for the bread for 20 mins & was told by a man impatiently "it should be with your food" Next time , plz be patient☺️ good atmosphere outside in the summer.

Best meal we had in Quebec City. Perfect atmosphere. Very helpful waitress. Got the Rabbit Saddle with gravy sauce & the Rabbit Meat Pie. Waitress gave us a terrific wine pairing recommendation. Finished with the maple crème brûlée! *also, tip, ask for bread. Perfect way to clean up your plate 👌

Despite making reservations & getting three confirmation text from the restaurant, when we showed up for our reservation the hostess looked at us like we had three heads & said "we have no reservation for you". However, the food was very good & service was pleasant. It is expensive. Wine selection is good & other than too much American pop music, the atmosphere is nice. Be aware that this whole area is extremely touristy & the restaurant suffers a bit from that. Nonetheless, it's about the only place we saw duck or rabbit on the menu.

1st time being in this place & we heard it was the best place to have dinner. We ordered the rabbit, onion soup, & the pork burger. Everything tasted great. The service & the server was amazing. If I could give the 10 stars I would.

My favourite meal while visiting Quebec City for 5 days. We enjoyed the rabbit & duck cassoulet & the seafood cassoulet, the honey pie, creme brulee & cappucino. Service was excellent. Patio was cozy & had heaters. Only wish we'd made it back to try more dishes.
