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.

My sister recommended Le Lapin & we totally agree that its worth a visit! Friendly service, an intimate atmosphere & great local cuisine. Their location is directly next to a wonderful winter garden with a fire pit & cute little cabin. We highly recommend! Can't beat the old world charm.

Unique recipes, excellent food & great service. Of course we had to have the rabbit & duck, it is their specialty. Although it was winter time & thought it would not be very busy, we were lucky to book a reservation a couple of days in advance, people without reservations were not able to get a seat. We recommend the Creme Brule for dessert, it is not your usual Jello pudding, it is very light & just right & the flavour is outstanding. Five stairs in all categories.

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.

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!
