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.

Nous avons passé une nuit très agréable. C'était notre deuxième visite & nous aimerons l'atmosphère. Le cassoulet est très mémorable.

Fantastic breakfast/brunch! Such a warm, welcoming little restaurant with a real wood fireplace. We ordered: crepes, tartine (avocado toast), waffles, & a rabbit eggs Benedict with a pitcher of mimosas. Not only was the food incredibly but for $150 CAD for 4, it was an amazing value as well (especially given the raving reviews & location!!). It's a must visit- book your reservation in advanced!

A very Sweet, Quaint, Romantic escape into the past. You'll ask yourself if you're in Quebec or France.... not for picky kids like mine unfortunately .. but we took them anyway.. thankfully little one still enjoyed the Crepe. On the other hand, We enjoyed some delicious French dishes. Rabbit poutine, duck foie gras, duck confit & of course to finish it off we HAD to have the creme brulee. The service was excellent & accommodating. Very friendly. You have to make reservations as this place seems to always be fully booked..its a very cozy small restaurant so you can't expect to get a spot on the whim. Plan ahead & make this stop a must!

It's a very cozy & busy place. Definitely make a reservation. Lots of people were turned away due to no reservation.
The host was friendly & seated us quickly even though we were quite warmly for our reservation
The waitresses were helpful & friendly.
I give 4 stars rather than 5 because we had the sampler for two people. While most of it was tasty, it was too small a serving for two people & the price.
The French onion soup was really nice.
It's got a great atmosphere.
I'll definitely return when I'm back in Quebec

We loved everything about Le Lapin sauté. Great atmosphere, good & friendly service, & great food. Quebecoise discoveries, with a nice selection of cured meats, pates & cheese. Salad with rabbit kidney & liver. Cassoulet. It really is a gem ✔️✔️

Great spot with a distinct menu. The shared plates are wonderful as is everything else we tried here, including the rabbit pot pie & the rabbit poutine. Soups were also wonderful. Highly recommend, though I don't usually recommend places in such trafficked tourist areas, as they are often second tier...this is a true exception. A must do dining experience.
