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 service is good. The main entree is just ok- duck meat is juicy but the rabbit meat is very dry. dessert is great. Overall, we enjoy the dinner but food is justbok for us.

Omg the rabbit back was so good. Not dry! The whole dish was healthy overall. The service was excellent. They wanted to ensure I liked the wine. Everything was fast as well. I loved the patio & just relaxed afterwards with some wine.

Nous avons mangé sur la terrasse, l'ambiance est extraordinaire, par contre les tables sont minuscules & très proches. La nourriture est excellente & le service 5 etoiles.

A great experience but be sure to book a table if you want ensure a table. We sat outside in the warm evening but be aware you cannot reserve a table outside. We were lucky as there was a table for two free. We ordered the table d'hote which gave a discount on three courses plus tea or coffee afterwards. The meal wasn't rushed we were at our table for two hours & the food was excellent. I had the smoked herring for starters which was fabulous my wife had smoked duck. We both had rabbit for main which was substantial & some lovely vegetables with it. We both had creme brûlée for dessert which was divine. A great evening 👍

This is an amazing restaurant with incredible rabbit & duck dishes & should not be missed if you are in Quebec City! The building has a rustic cozy charm to it, the service is wonderful & the food is exceptional. Make sure to get reservations as they are always busy.

Service & Atmosphere great. Food was good but wouldn't say unforgettable. TikTokers rave about this because they probably don't have enough content & copy / paste eachother ideas.

Expérience parfaite, un lieu charmant & décontracté malgré la cuisine relevée & l'originalité des plats. Ma copine & moi avons mangé l'assiette à partager  « tout lapin tout canard ». WoW!! Portions généreuses, belles explications de la serveuse très gentille & que dire de la splendide terrasse en été style parisien dans le décors du vieux Québec! À refaire!
