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 loved our experience at Le Lapine Saute! The food, atmosphere , & service were excellent. I had the Rabbit Pot Pie & it was delicious. I would highly recommend this place. The atmosphere is so quaint with stone walls & fireplace. It is so cozy & inviting. We would definitely go there again.

We're feeling like very disappointed with the double 10 dollars be charged only for the reservation first booked & second time for the day to change, it is really unacceptable. The dinner we ordered was quite expensive & actually not worth it. To be honest, we are completely not satisfied with the meal & will not recommend to anyone else to eat here although google says it is good.

My friend & I had a wonderful dinner! We sat outside & heard a couple of street musicians performing in the courtyard next to Le Lapin Saute. It was a great evening & we highly recommend you try them out.

We just loved this place! Servers were friendly & helpful. The mixed appetizer plates were fabulous & let you try a little bit of everything. The cassoulet was hearty & great even if I will admit it wasn't authentic French cassoulet - it was still very good. Our server suggested adding a second duck confit so I wouldn't have to share mine! Haha. We came back later that night for dessert because we were too full at lunch. Would highly recommend the honey pie! Ambience on the patio was lovely
