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.

Ce n'est plus ce que c'était. Nos plats n'étaient pas très chaud lors de nos 2 dernières visites. De plus, j'ai été témoin à la table d'à côté de l'impatience d'une serveuse envers un touriste qui avait de la difficulté avec la langue. Bien dommage, l'endroit est bien joli.

This place was highly recommended. It was our first time in Quebec city & we wanted a memorable experience. My husband ordered a beer & we ordered wine to share with his meal. I ordered the rabbit saddle & he the rabbit pie. We were shocked when halfway through his beer, the meal arrived not even 10 minutes later. There were 3 medallions of rabbit. The smallest piece was tough. The others tender. It looked hastily arranged on the plate & the meal was Luke warm. The crust on my husband's pie was chewy & the side salad was nothing special. We were so disappointed. Will never go back. Not my idea of a dining experience in Quebec.

?We had to make a reservation before arriving at dinner time. I absolutely loved the atmosphere; it was both cozy & vibrant.
?For starters, we had the French onion soup, followed by the Mushroom Ravioli & the Game Burger for our mains. The onion soup & ravioli were quite good. However, the burger had a very strong, gamey aroma; it honestly felt a bit like live stock with every bite. While the quality of the meat was clearly good, I've definitely had better burgers. If you prefer your meat to taste more neutral & dislike the strong smell of lamb fat or heavy beef, this might not be the burger for you.
?Service was also a bit on the slower side, with a pretty long wait between our starter & the main courses.

Food was good. Rabbit meat was worth a try. However, the service is comparent poor to the food. We waited at least 20mins for just a cup of water.

Très belle expérience au restaurant Le Lapin Sauté dans le Vieux-Québec. L'accueil a été très chaleureux & le service agréable du début à la fin.

Nous avons pris une salade chaude au foie & rognon, ainsi que le râble de lapin : les plats étaient très bien préparés, savoureux & généreux. Nous avons vraiment très bien mangé.

Une adresse que nous recommandons avec plaisir pour découvrir une bonne cuisine dans un cadre agréable du Vieux-Québec.
