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 service & atmosphere were 5/5.
The sharing menu was delicious.
The main dish with duck was moist & juicy but the rabbit saddle was plain & dry. For a rabbit restaurant, it was disappointing to eat such rabbit as members of my family & friends can make it better.

French onion soup was delightful. Husband enjoyed his rabbit pot pie & sugar pie. I'm not fond of meat & game so I can't comment appropriately.

A great night at Lapin Sauté. We shared the All Rabbit All Duck for two & it was delicious. Every mouthful was better than the last (& it was plenty for the three of us). We finished our meal with the Salted Honey Pie. It was unique & scrumptious. But the night was made special by the wonderful & terrific service. The restaurant is small, but the staff made us feel like we were in their home kitchen. We'd give Le Lapin Sauté six stars "⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️" if we could.

Some of the best food I have ever had. The onion soup & rabbit pot pie were outstanding! A full week of dining all around Quebec City, we had some amazing meals. This was the best.
