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.

This place comes highly recommended for its high-quality offerings. The menu boasts many amazing options, & I thoroughly enjoyed my experience here, spending around $180 for dinner for two. It's advisable to make a reservation in advance, as they are usually busy. Make sure to try their Onion Soup - having sampled it in various places, I can confidently say it's the best one I've ever had.

A super lunch! Very nice staff & atmosphere, a lovely relaxed experience. Seemed very child friendly. Would recommend booking if going for supper as they were fully booked when we tried to drop in the previous evening. Rabbit leg & duck sausage cassoulet was delicious & the rabbit pot pie was also splendid. Highly recommend!

Our dinner was delicious, the service was excellent, & the ambiance was fabulous. My only disappointment - I don't live here & don't know when I could come back for another meal at Le Lapin. I recommend it!
