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.

Accueil convivial & service avec le sourire, & au petits soins. Malheureusement la nourriture a été décevante considérant le prix. Nous avons pris une table d'hôte avec cassoulet & le canard était sec pour nos deux assiettes (moi & mon amis). Les flageolets prenaient beaucoup le dessus sur le reste, leurs texture était assez molle. Considérant l'entrée, tranches de canard, c'était assez fade. En dessert, la tartelette aux fruits, c'était excellent & généreux. Les quantités étaient satisfaisante mais j'aurais préféré une meilleure qualité.

C'était vraiment bon, on a partagé tout ce qu'on a commandé , c'était délicieux. Le lapin, le canard, le foie gras, les légumes & aussi sur la recommandation de notre très sympathique serveuse on a goûté à leur fameuse tarte au miel salée, un regal.

Food: Alright & comparable to many of the restaurants in the area, burger was average however the poutine I got could best be described as having rib sauce for gravy, far too salty & sour. Service: Managed to mess up my order & then leave me with my hand up for 15 minutes waiting for someone to come over. (The restaurant was not busy we were one of 2 tables inside & the patio was not full) Atmosphere: Average bar a little dark on the inside but not much to complain about

This was the perfect place for our last dinner in Quebec City. Definitely requires a reservation because the inside is small but jam packed with tables. We arrived a little early but we enjoyed sitting at the courtyard right next to the restaurant listening to a street music performer. Once we were seated our waitress was SO lovely even as she maneuvered around all the tight corners to all the tables. She suggested sparkling wine to start & we couldn't resist! Everything we had was so good (the fondue especially - I could have ordered this again as a main! Their specialty is rabbit & duck & we should have tried them, but we stuck with the fish & chicken options. Still very good. A little disappointed in the desserts, but we were also quite full at that point. Such cute decor & ambiance even as the night died down closer to closing. Worth it to visit!

We had dinner outside on the beautiful patio facing the courtyard. We ordered a few appetizers (the gazpacho & the foie gras) & the rabbit cassoulet to share, as well as beer & wine. An altogether beautiful meal in a beautiful setting, set just apart from the fray. The service was impeccable, too.

Really lovely service & menu options. Food was delicious but the starter we chose was very small, especially when it was quite expensive. We sat outside which was lovely but there was no music etc. so felt like the atmosphere was lacking a little. I will, however, say the Maple Syrup Creme Brûlée is worth the visit alone!!
