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.

Après plusieurs visites à ce restaurant je suis désolée de vous donner seulement un 4 mais je suis restée surprise de voir que les cuisse de lapins n'étaient pas à la hauteur de ce restaurant.
En effet, nous étions 3 à avoir choisi ce menu (habituellement excellent) & cette fois-ci je crois qu'elles manquaient un peu de cuisson car très difficile de les couper & détacher de l'os.

We loved our experience at Le Lapin Sauté! We began with the Quebec Discoveries shared appetizers - every morsel was delicious! We both ordered the pan-seared trout. Crispy skin, filet set atop a bounty of roasted carrots & haricots verts, & a scrumptious puréed squash. We finished with the salted honey pie, which was to die for! Highly recommended!

We recently visited Montreal & booked a meal at Le Lapin Saute following reviews on travel review sites - we were not disappointed. We chose the three course option & the food was delicious especially the saddle of rabbit & the pot pie. The local rhubarb cake was also very good. We would recommend this restaurant but make sure to book as it is very popular.
