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.

Merci merci merci!!!

Our evening at Le Lapin Sauté was A-MA-ZING!!

We had the most fabulous time. The service was exceptional - a small team who were just brilliant. The ambiance was warm, quaint & charming. The prettiest restaurant on Petit Champlain. The food was delicious - just perfection!

Am so glad we booked - it is a small restaurant & it was full on a Tuesday night.

We can't wait to go back!

Nous adorons cet endroit! La nourriture est absolument extraordinaire : originale, savoureuse, d'une incroyable fraîcheur & très copieuse. Mais par-dessus tout, le service est remarquable. Les serveuses (Catherine & Delphine) sont charmantes, attentionnées & effacées à la fois, & nous font sentir comme si nous étions des habitués qui fréquentent l'endroit quotidiennement. Or, nous n'avons l'occasion de visiter le restaurant que deux fois l'an, lors de notre "pèlerinage" annuel à Québec. En un mot, tu entres au Lapin sauté comme un visiteur (enthousiaste), & tu repars en ayant le sentiment d'être comme un membre de la famille. Une expérience à répéter avec délectation!
