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.

Lovely restaurant with old-world charm located on a street with beautiful lights, in combination with the delicious meal it made for a magical evening. Service was excellent, food delicious & seating was cozy & comfortable. It was a treat to eat rabbit- you don't get it anywhere else!

On a manqué de temps. Temps alloué pour la table 2 h un peu serré si on prend le temps de siroter l'apéro ou si on ne mange pas vite.

We started off with the french onion soup which was very very good & the best I had in ville de Québec. Also the bread was simple but tasted great, very fresh. For the main dishes we had the Mushroom ravioli & the rabbit leg with duck sausage. The Mushroom ravioli was very good, in a nice cream sauce. The rabbit leg was quite good as well, but could be slightly more crispy. It came with lots of beans. The duck sausage tasted nice. For dessert we had the poached pear which was a bit of a let down. We expected it to be warm but it was cold. I would suggest trying to heat it up as I think it would taste better this way & bring out the flavours more. The service was very good as the staff worked as a team when serving our table instead of just having one server. Overall quite a nice resturant.
