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.

Such a lovely experience! The wait staff were exceptionally helpful & attentive, offered up suggestions for food & drink, took our coats when we got there, checked in on us & made friendly conversation. The atmosphere was lovely & intimate, the decor was very cute & all garden & rabbit themed, which I loved. The food was SO GOOD. We had the plate of rabbit & duck & it was a fun experience. For dessert we had the maple crème brûle & it was the best I've had. I would absolutely come back here as it was the best dining experience I've had in the city.

My wife & I are in Old Quebec for 7 days. We never complain. We have eaten out for 5 days, & this restaurant was by far the worst. The service was terrible; the girls were more interested in their own conversation than giving basic customer service. They never even came back to ask if we wanted more coffee. We arrived at 10am & were told that we needed to leave by 11am due to other reservations, which was ok with us. We ordered quickly, but it took over 20 minutes to get a basic breakfast, leaving perhaps 15-20 minutes to eat. At 11am, there were 6 empty tables so we asked the server & were told we did not need to leave quickly. Why the change? The food was barely just ok. The ambiance was very nice, however, & the restroom was clean. The service was so bad we will never return there. The servers need a lesson in customer service 101.

I had a fantastic dining experience at this restaurant! A reservation is definitely a must, especially during the holiday season, as it gets quite busy. There's paid parking available outside, just few steps lead to the street side, which is convenient to majority of people. The food was absolutely delicious. The meat was cooked perfectly. I highly recommend trying the foie gras & rabbit - both were outstanding. The staff were incredibly friendly & attentive, adding to the overall wonderful atmosphere. Definitely a place worth visiting!
