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 amazing. However, our table was right beside the entrance door, even though we had reservations for a special occasion for 2 & arrived when the restaurant wasn't full. My fault for accepting it, but my spouse is easy going. The fake plants & decor behind me at our table were very dusty. The quality of the food was worth all the other disappointing things. Had the Lapin pot pie & Lapin leg. Loved both.

What a delicious meal experience we enjoyed last evening. We both ordered the rabbit pot pie & it did not disappoint. After coffee & maple crème brûlée, we were on our way. Perfect.

This has been a favorite restaurant of our four years. Last night however was very different, it took 45 min from appetizer to entree, our server got an order wrong & this led to one in our party receiving no food because the kitchen closed 25 min prior, & the rest of our food was cold. The server offered no apologies & when asked how it was she said we should have told her it was cold. Hard to tell someone that when they never visited or table again & also told us that the kitchen was closed. Terrible experience.

Food was good, the meat was done nicely. The servers' attitude were ok but I had to deduct a point because we had to wait over an hour to be served our food & it was only because I had to ask before I was responded with "maybe 2 more minutes" & then suddenly the food came out. What if I didn't ask? Lastly only got our water refilled an hour & 45 minutes after we had our initial pour. The restaurant was busy & the servers were fine otherwise but it just wasn't a 5 star experience. I shouldn't have to ask an hour in to get my food, if it was going to take that long or be delayed at least come talk to me & let me know.

J'avais précisé que c'était la fête de mon conjoint lors de la réservation en espérant avoir un petit quelque chose pour le souligner... rien ! Décevant! Ce sera le dernier événement à souligner à cette endroit.

Difficult to understand how Conde Nast rated this restaurant a top choice. Food was overcooked & boring.
