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 came here for Valentine's Day & got a reservation! We ordered the rabbit leg, duck leg, with Duck Sausage combo - all were very flavorful & tender. We also tried the duck breast( Duck Magret) , which was cooked perfectly, & the peppercorn sauce was amazing. Their sangria was delicious too! The staff were very friendly & attentive without being intrusive. We really enjoyed our visit & highly recommend it!

Le Lapin Sauté is a true gem in Old Québec. Cozy, charming, & full of character, it serves outstanding French-Québécois cuisine with rabbit & duck as highlights. The dishes are rich & comforting, the service is warm & attentive. A must-visit spot in Petit-Champlain - reservations recommended.

Small location so make sure to book ahead of time if possible. Food was delicious, atmosphere was very cozy. Location is great, bottom of break neck steps. Lots of shops nearby. I ordered the Eggs Benedict Rabbit Confit & it was amazing. My wife ordered the avocado toast with smoke salmon & it was delicious as well. Would highly recommend this location & plan on returning the next time we visit Quebec City.
