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.

Atmosphere & service ( wait staff) were very very good. The restaurant called to confirm because the system allowed a 1 pm reservation even though the restaurant open at 4 pm. All outdoor dining but the weather was perfect so good news there. He straightened it out & allowed for a 6 pm time, which they honored. We ordered the saddle rabbit dish which is tricky at best because the rabbit is so lean. It came out good because they had two sauces that we were able to order one of each on each plate. I may try the pot pie rabbit next time since the meat has more time to soften. Still a good evening in Old Quebec on the lower side. Food arrived in good time & I was able to order off-menu for drinks.
