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.

Wonderful dining experience. We shared the cassoulet for two, which was the tastiest I've ever had. The duck & sausage were incredible, though the rabbit was a bit too gamey & dry. Excellent kids menu. Good wine menu. The quebecois red wine was surprisingly excellent. Attentive service & cozy atmosphere. We were lucky to get a table walking in & I recommend reservations.

Nous avons été choyés, nous sommes partis avec un p'tit lapin en chocolat offert en cette période de Pâques ! Quelle belle attention envers les clients ! Je recommande vivement cette adresse ! Vous ne serez pas déçus !

A very cozy restaurant. The staff let us dine just before the dinner rush hour despite not having a reservation. The waiter we had was really friendly & made funny banter. The rabbit poutine in mustard sauce was the best poutine I've had in my life! Highly recommend.

I grew up on wild meat so this was the perfect restaurant for me. So glad I got the chance to visit. I loved every bite. I ordered the duck sausage & rabbit leg which comes on a bed of beans & it just reminded me of eating dinner with my grandfather. Very nostalgic. Great flavours. Had the salted honey pie for dessert which was absolutely delicious. Fresh bread whenever we asked (gotta eat beans with buttered bread, I don't make the rules) we had a very nice lady serve us but there was also a gentleman with glasses that helped with every table as well. They're a team he said. He was very lively & energetic. Definitely a meal I'll have to come back for. Don't miss out when coming to Quebec City. I would recommend a reservation though as they're usually full.
