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.

My boyfriend really wanted to try rabbit while we were in Quebec & this place definitely delivered. Easy to walk to, as it is right in the middle of touristy Quartier Petit Champlain. The rabbit leg was very tender & tasty & the rabbit pot pie was full of flavor. We also got a cheese for an appetizer, which was a fun experience, & the tiramisu for dessert. Service was great, the staff is very capable in both French & English, & the atmosphere is very nice & cozy.

This is a small & busy spot. The servers were friendly & our food didn't take too long to arrive. We shared the quebec discoveries plate which is a great portion size for 2 to share as an appetizer. The gravlax was really tasty. The terrines & cheese were decent. With all of the other great food options in the area I'm not likely to return here based on what we tried.

Wonderful dining experience. We shared the cassoulet for two, which was the tastiest I've ever had. The duck & sausage were incredible, though the rabbit was a bit too gamey & dry. Excellent kids menu. Good wine menu. The quebecois red wine was surprisingly excellent. Attentive service & cozy atmosphere. We were lucky to get a table walking in & I recommend reservations.

Accueil & service impeccables. Les serveuses sont très professionnelles & souriantes. Les plats sont vraiment délicieux & copieux ! Nous avons été choyés, nous sommes partis avec un p'tit lapin en chocolat offert en cette période de Pâques ! Quelle belle attention envers les clients ! Je recommande vivement cette adresse ! Vous ne serez pas déçus !

Maybe it was the wine or the atmosphere but this remains one of the best meals in recent memory. Husband & I split "tout lapin, tout canard". It was a simple spread but ingredients were very well prepared. The portion was just perfect for two.

It wasn't very busy when I came in & the service was very fast. Even though I was alone, the staff were so welcoming & I didn't feel uncomfortable eating alone!
