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.

Très bon restaurant, joli cadre, jolie terrasse chauffée, la poutine à l'effiloché de lapin à la diable était excellente, le cassoulet au lapin également, les plats servis à la table voisine nous faisaient saliver aussi !

I enjoy eating rabbit & found all the story & info written about this restaurant so interesting that I wanted to try it. Glad we did. Overall it was good, the atmosphere lovely & great service. Our appetizer, The rabbit rilletes was delicious. I then had the rabbit saddle & my husband had the seafood Cassoulets ( at a rabbit restaurant). My rabbit was well cooked, tender & delicious. the parsnips delicious but the green beans overcooked. Overall glad I tried it but my dad still made the best rabbit to date, wish I had watched him more carefully.

Amazing! Two of us enjoyed delicious rabbit entree & French Onion soup & it was fabulous! Neither of us have had rabbit before but we took a chance & loved it. The soup was incredible as well.
Service was delightful & the outdoor seating was quaint & lovely. We would highly recommend this restaurant to friends & family.
