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.

We had a delightful meal on New Years Eve with our two kids (11 & 13). The food, wine & service were all phenomenal. If you're in Quebec & can get a reservation, it is definitely a must do. The rabbit poutine & fois gras are amazing!!

Toujours plaisir & enchantement au Lapin Sauté; que ce soit un soir d'hiver au chaud dans la cuisine avec l'âtre , les poutres & les fenêtres décorées, ou alors un après-midi d'été sur la terrasse en pleine farniente bercée par le feuillage des arbres. Recommandations sans équivoque ! Ingénieur(Ir) Martin Benoît GAGNON, Phys Ing PS Je déclare n'avoir aucun intérêt direct ou indirect avec le Restaurant si ce n'est qu'un intérêt à revivre l'atmosphère des lieux; mets, bâtiment & personnel, qui la créent !;)

Such a charming place for a meal in the Lower Town of Old Quebec! The restaurant is small so reservations are highly recommended, we saw a lot of walk-ins get turned away. The food is delicious & the service is fantastic. Try the cheese fondue with crispy onions, it was so yummy! We also got the lamb chop, pasta, & rabbit saddle. Everything was cooked perfectly & served with a smile!

Absolutely amazing food & fast & friendly service. Make sure to make a reservation. The amount of food is perfect & the cost is reasonable. Be sure to ask for bread & an English menu if you need one. The waitress even remembered which tables were French & which were English speakers each time she went to a different table.

We had a reservation for 6pm but we were done walking around by about 5:30 PM. We went to check in to see if they could see us early & luckily they were able to accommodate us. Highly recommend making reservations as people were being turned away at the door. Restaurant is very small. We had great attentive service & the food was terrific. Highly recommend the maple crème brûlée!
