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.

One of the best recommendations I received in Quebec City! We didn't have reservation, got on the waiting list, went for a short walk in the area, for less than 30min & got seated in the terrace. Beautiful decor, excellent service & tasty dishes! Had to try their Rabbit Poutine & the small fondue that did not disappoint! Highly recommended!

An absolutely outstanding dining experience at Le Lupin Sauté. From the warm atmosphere to the impeccable service, everything was top-notch.
The rabbit leg was cooked to perfection, incredibly tender, flavourful, & easily one of the best dishes I've had in a long time. The crème brûlée was equally impressive: perfectly balanced, rich, creamy, & absolutely delicious with that satisfying caramelized top.
Every detail of the meal reflected genuine passion & craftsmanship from the kitchen. Highly recommend this place to anyone looking for an unforgettable dining experience in Quebec City. Looking forward to coming back again soon!

Make reservations. It's quite intimate inside & fills up quick.
Absolutely adorable. You feel like you're in a rabbit burrow. The decor is so cute. The pulled rabbit poutine was great. The small appetizer poutine was already the perfect size to share along with our smoked duck winter salad & onion soup. The only thing was that I wished the soup had more broth than cheese.
All in all, a great meal everytime.

Tiny 10 table or so establishment that serves an uperscale yet still reasonable priced menu. Le Lapin saute' the jumping rabbit' is well known for their classic rabbit dishes. I ha the rabbit leg with seasonal vegetables & it was scrumptious. I highly suggest booking a reservation.
