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.

Excellent spot. A very cozy place with great service & incredible food. The pork leg was a delightful surprise-flavorful & perfectly balanced. One of my favorite places in Le Petit Champlain.

It's a small restaurant with no more than 15 tables, & given how popular it is, you'd better make a reservation in advance if you plan to eat there. We tried the onion soup, poutine, rabbit pie, & cassoulet, accompanied by hot cider-everything was succulent & super yummy! I really hope I can go there again.

We stopped by for coffee & dessert, & it was such a lovely experience. The decorations were very different & interesting, giving the place a unique charm. The staff were warm & welcoming. We sat right beside an authentic fireplace-hearing the crackling fire (without any smoke!) made it extra cozy.

The desserts were truly a different experience 🤤😋. After walking in freezing weather, enjoying delicious desserts & a great cup of coffee here is an absolute must. Highly recommended!

Un très bon moment ! Le restaurant était pourtant archi complet pour les fêtes (pensez à réserver) mais l'accueil a été très amical, & la cuisine délicieuse, le tout dans un cadre intimiste & chaleureux. Je recommande spécialement la tourte au lapin, & la tarte au miel salé, un régal !
