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.

Wonderful experience. We were lucky to walk in & be offered a table for 2, despite the busyness of the holiday season. The food is delicious, perfectly cooked & condimented. Worth every penny. Will certainly return.

Pretty good meal. Had the poutine, French onion soup, cassoulet & rabbit saddle. The desserts are to die for!!!! Get the honey pie & crème brûlée. Best part of the meal!

The best meal we had in Quebec, they took in without a reservation & were gracious as we were served with a smile.
You can't go to Quebec City without visiting this great little place.

Service: Excellent
Everything rabbit, everything duck sharing plate + all the extras: good for 2-3 people & strongly recommened for those trying game meats for the first time.

I come here once every 2 years to indulge on something different but I will say this though...my mom & the other women in my family make better rabbit. They should take a recipe lesson from Eastern Europe.

From the cozy fireplace to the friendly & helpful staff, we had a wonderful visit. The winter salad was delicious, as was the pork roast with carrots & parsnips. Intimate & fun.

I always have such a wonderful experience when I come here. I visit Quebec City every year & always make an effort to come to Le Lapin Sauté when possible (reservations recommended). The food here is really delicious & I appreciate the fact that I can taste each component of the dish on its own, while having them together. Aside from the food, the service is amazing! I always have a great time here & will certainly visit again soon.
