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.

The service was excellent & the atmosphere was wonderful. The food was very disappointing. The leg of rabbit came out almost as soon as we ordered it as of it had been sitting in the kitchen on a table ready to serve. It was neither cold or warm which is the desired temp for roasted rabbit. The rabbit's leg was as broken, very sad. The rabbit was tough. I needed a steak knife to cut. It really was not good at all & there were few vegetables served with it. My grandson ordered the rabbit poutine. It was full of cheese curd. Had there not been cheese curd there would have been little to the meal… very few pieces of rabbit.

I absolutely would not recommend!

Jantar de despedida de Quebec city, num ambiente agradável, empregados simpáticos e pratos muito saborosos.
Merece, sem dúvida, uma visita.

We had made reservations & thank goodness! It is busy! Staff are brilliant, friendly & individualize their service. Food was flavourful with a very nice wine list! Something for everyone…traditional quebec food

I learned French for this place. C'est tout tres charmant. (Probably bad French but I'm trying.) The staff are wonderful. The food is delicious. The place is charming, indoors or out. The location is perfect. Our favorite place in Quebec City. We ate here twice in the four days we were in QC, & would have come back for more if there weren't so many other places we wanted to try. (A couple of them...not naming names...made us wish we'd just gone back to the cooked rabbit....)

Unfortunately, our experience this time was much worse compared to previous visits. My partner's rabbit poutine was full of tiny bones - so many that we set them aside & showed them to the waitress. She was kind & offered to charge only half for the dish, which we appreciated.

However, what truly ruined the experience for us was being seated outside on the terrace. Directly across the narrow street, kitchen staff repeatedly gathered on a staircase to smoke. The smoke drifted straight toward us, making it unpleasant - especially as non-smokers dining with children. It felt inconsiderate &, honestly, a bit gross.
