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.

Overall, the food at this restaurant was quite good, & the atmosphere was beautiful. The dining room has a great ambiance, & the short-haired lady who served our dishes this evening was incredibly warm & welcoming.

However, there were a couple of disappointing experiences with another young female server who assisted us. She came across as rather cold & impatient throughout our meal.

It was our first time visiting Quebec City & our first time dining at this restaurant. I ordered a steak, but she never asked how I wanted it cooked. It arrived extremely rare, which was not what I expected.

I also specifically asked whether the soup of the day contained any dairy because I cannot consume dairy products. She assured me it did not. Unfortunately, the soup did contain some dairy, & it left me feeling bloated & with significant stomach discomfort for the rest of the evening.

One thing that also left us uncomfortable was that she seemed much friendlier & more engaged with the French-speaking table next to us, chatting with them & smiling, while she appeared noticeably impatient when interacting with us. I don't know whether this was because we are asian ?but it certainly made us feel less welcome.

After reading many reviews from other Asian customers describing similar experiences, we couldn't help but wonder: is treating Asian customers this way a tradition at your restaurant?

Service lightning fast (approx 5 min to prepare the food). Was also a bit on the colder side but still acceptable. However, very tasty & cosy terrace result in the 4 stars.
