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.

We loved everything about Le Lapin sauté. Great atmosphere, good & friendly service, & great food. Quebecoise discoveries, with a nice selection of cured meats, pates & cheese. Salad with rabbit kidney & liver. Cassoulet. It really is a gem ✔️✔️

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.

I was eagerly anticipating dining at this restaurant, drawn to its local, specialized, & cozy ambiance—the kind I prefer most. Despite the bustling Christmas season in Quebec City, I was fortunate to secure a table. To my delight, every aspect of our experience surpassed expectations.

The friendly staff warmly welcomed us & treated us to their incredible mulled wine. The French onion soup was truly delectable, setting the tone for our meal. Acting on our waitress's suggestion, we opted for the rabbit & duck platter, which offered an assortment of both cold & hot dishes—an excellent choice. The waitress remained attentive & helpful throughout, enhancing our overall experience.

Remarkably, the bill was surprisingly reasonable, considering the quality & enjoyment we received.

Quaint & perfect. I had an 8pm reservation on a rainy Monday evening after I arrived from traveling all day. They were able to squeeze me in a bit earlier & I enjoyed every moment I was in the restaurant. From the food to the service everything was top notch. I had the rabbit saddle with mustard & salted honey pie. Both incredibly unique & delicious. Absolutely would recommend eating here, but make sure you make a reservation!

Every time I go to Quebec City I make a point of having either lunch or Dinner here. I especially enjoy the « Tourte au lapin ». Or rabbit pie......i miss the old version though. The pie is now a pot pie....versus a real pie......

We are so happy to return to Lapin Saute as we have not been able to visit QC since 2019! We loved our table of 4 location in the window nook. We shared smoked duck breast & salmon gravlax, & both were so delicious! Everyone enjoyed their main courses...especially the saddle of rabbit with duxelles. Just superb! Our server was very friendly & professional. It was such a wonderful evening! Merci beaucoup!
