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.

We recently visited Montreal & booked a meal at Le Lapin Saute following reviews on travel review sites - we were not disappointed. We chose the three course option & the food was delicious especially the saddle of rabbit & the pot pie. The local rhubarb cake was also very good. We would recommend this restaurant but make sure to book as it is very popular.

The service was excellent & the food delicious! It was a memorable evening. It was small & cozy inside, but not loud. We made a reservation 2 days before. Definitely recommend.

What an experience! First of all, it's snuggled right in the old town Quebec area. We felt compelled to try to the rabbit as it was their specialty which was a little out of our comfort zone - but it did not disappoint. They offer a meal to share for two that includes a variety of rabbit & duck dishes & sides. It was by the far the best meal we had in Quebec. Would highly recommend & service was outstanding.
