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 food was fantastic, ambiance was cozy, & the service was personable & engaging, which is a big part of the dining experience for me. The cocktails were tasty, & you absolutely must save room for the Salted Honey Pie. It undoubtedly ranks in the top 1% of the best desserts I've ever had-I could have easily eaten two! :) This is the kind of place we'll return to every time we visit Quebec.

The rabbit saddle I keep seeing recommended was dry, but my wife's rabbit pot pie was very good. The piece of salmon for the kids meal was very small but understandable for $14. Includes dessert. Next time will definitely try the rabbit & duck leg. Will probably have better luck with dark meat. Sat indoors in the cute corner area. Made reservations online.

Food & location was great & beautiful. Unfortunately the service ruined it. Server was full of attitude because we just wanted to order appetizers & weren't planning to sit for long. We just wanted to visit for the ambience while visiting Quebec, wait was over an hour & that was fine, but service was not very nice on my trip.

Came here for lunch on a Saturday with a reservation - the place is quite small & got pretty busy when we were there, so a reservation is highly recommended. We ordered the tout lapin tout canard (rabbit & duck platter) to share, & the portion was just right for the three of us. Found the rabbit leg to be a bit dry, but it was very good with the sauces. The duck was great (especially the smoked duck breast) & overall there were a lot of interesting textures & flavours which we enjoyed. Ambiance is rustic & cozy, & service is friendly & quick.

The rabbit pot pie is by far the best pot pie I have ever had. Highly recommended. The sea buckthorn lemonade was an interesting new experience that I would be happy to repeat. Excellent maple creme brulee, very politically correct for a French Canadian restaurant. Second meal here years later & it's still just as good. My daughter: "I've never been to a place that cooks green beans, potatoes, & purple cabbage perfectly. Would they open a restaurant in Pittsburgh? Please?" The duck & rabbit platter was amazing, & the cheese fondue was excellent.

Our first time trying rabbit & the seasoning & gravy of the pie content is excellent ! Recommended by one of the staffs! You should try it too! Atmosphere is a little squeezy inside & it was a little chaos due to staff changing timing but other than that, the food wins so you should come !

The poutine was good with a nice seating area outside, but inside was very crowded. The beans were not cooked properly. All though this was a place with the rabbit being their main course, it was the worst out of all the dishes. The duck was amazing though.
