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.

It was difficult getting a reservation at this popular restaurant, & our excitement was high due to its great reviews. However, the food didn't quite match our expectations. Each of us ordered a course with an appetizer, main dish, & dessert, but nothing stood out as impressive. The rabbit dishes we tried, while an interesting experience since we hadn't tasted rabbit before, ended up tasting like drier chicken. Overall it was still a good dining experience, but not as amazing as we'd hoped.

À chaque fois que nous venons à Québec, c'est un grand plaisir pour nous de nous payer un souper au Lapin sauté. Quel délice!

Only the onion soup was ok, rabbit pie was tasteless & the « Quebec discoveries » were pretty disappointing. We went there cuz many restaurants are closed on Mondays

This is one of the best restaurants I've ever eaten. I'm here from NY City so we are picky about our restaurants. My only complaint is that you don't have a cookbook.

This is our second trip to Le Lapin Saute (out of 3 trips to QC). The restaurant is so cozy & relaxed. The food is fantastic as is the service. I can't wait to come back to QC & go to LLS
