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.

Amazing little spot to eat rabbit. Loved the appetizer of discover Quebec. Main meal was not too bad. The rabbit was a bit dry to my taste. I requested extra mustard sauce, which helped a bit. Overall not a bad experience. Other member of our party ordered the rabbit leg, which was a bit better. Still I am not sure the flavors measured up to our expectations.

If you're looking for okay food in the heart of old Quebec it's not a bad choice. But really it's just okay at best & it's pricey because it's in a very touristy area.

I'd really recommend looking for other places to eat if you're here for vacation. Much better options in the city!

Amazingly good...from the French onion soup which was salted just right...the fries were fresh cut....& the cassoulet with duck sausage, rabbit leg & wonderfully buttery beans & pork were savoury & perfect... even the rabbit which is usually dry was done perfectly & with the sauce in the beans was a perfect pairing. All the staff worked together & the setting was very French & pub-like at the same time.

The friendliest server recommended this spectacular duck & rabbit platter for two. The interior is small & cozy but it just adds to the atmosphere. Couldn't recommend it enough.

It's such a lovely restaurant with wonderful staff who make the entire dining experience incredible.

We tried the cassoulet, both the seafood & the duck versions. I must admit that slow-cooked bean dishes usually aren't my thing, but I really liked the beans here.

Rabbit Poutine! YES! Our favourite restaurant in Old Quebec City. Had a couple of icy cold Kronenbourg 1664 Blanc & shared a Rabbit Poutine & French Onion Soup on the cool, shady patio. Don't miss this great spot if you are in Vieux-Québec. Always busy, but easy to make a reservation online.

Exquisite platen of pate, confit, & make sure you add the sausage to it for an extra bite. It truly is a shared dish for two people, so enjoy. It is my go-to restaurant when I come to Quebec city. You should do the same.

I have been here on a few occasions years ago & was very much looking forward to enjoying a good meal here again. I was a little dissappointed however. The smoked salmon entrée was excellent. I opted for their specialty & chose the rsbbit cassoulet dish. I thought the rabnit was dry. Still a nice place. Service was great.
