Le Lapin Sauté est largement reconnu comme une destination charmante et chaleureuse, incontournable dans le Vieux-Québec, particulièrement appréciée pour ses spécialités authentiques de lapin et de canard. De nombreux visiteurs louent l'accueil attentionné du personnel, le service impeccable et la terrasse pittoresque idéale pour observer les passants dans le quartier Petit-Champlain. Bien que la majorité des convives soulignent la grande qualité de plats comme la poutine au lapin, le cassoulet et la tarte au miel salé, certains clients ont noté des incohérences dans la préparation, des délais de service occasionnels ou des portions jugées parfois trop petites. Malgré une forte demande rendant la réservation essentielle, la plupart des visiteurs considèrent l'établissement comme une adresse à ne pas manquer, offrant une atmosphère unique et intime parfaitement adaptée aux familles comme aux sorties romantiques.
A very cute, cozy restaurant in the heart of Quartier Petit Champlain. Since we have never tried rabbit meat earlier, we decided to try out the Rabbit Rillettes at first. It was absolutely delicious! We actually went back the next day to try another dish & this time we tried the Rabbit poutine & the maple crème brûlée. Both were very very yummy! A must visit if you are in Quebec city. The ambience is lovely & the service is great too! We're so glad we chose this place.
Small but cozy atmosphere, service was absolutely fantastic, & the food was great. The salted honey pie was recommended by 2 employees for dessert & it was incredible!

Located on the popular Rue du Petit Champlain, this quaint French bistro felt very on theme with the charming traditional Quebec City architecture so synonymous with this location. The authentic tastes of their food left an equally memorable impression on us. We were lucky to grab a table for two early in the evening for dinner. The restaurant was full of guests but there remained a pleasant, cozy ambience with its gentle lighting as well as a clear view through the windows to the street out front. The staff helping us was friendly & patient when we gave our orders in English. To start, we had the French Onion Soup & Cheese Fondue & those came with plenty of fresh bread & butter. The cheese in the soup was stringy & different from the cheese in the fondue. The rich onion flavours in the soup also made it a great dip for the bread. Together with our delightful cocktails, anticipation for the mains was building. The rabbit themed signage at the door & on the menu made an obvious dish suggestion. We ordered the Rabbit Leg Cassoulet & the Duck Cured Meats Platter as our mains. The cassoulet was cooked well & the rabbit leg was juicy & tender. There were plenty of vegetables which added heft to the hearty stock. The Cured Meats Platter was beautifully arranged & tasted as good as it looked. It was a lot of fun mixing & matching the different meats & crackers as we worked our way around the platter. Overall, we really felt having dinner here made our short stay in Quebec City a memorable experience. We would recommend it to anyone, but especially to anyone who is not the most au fait with French cuisine.
Definitely recommend making a reservation. Visited for brunch Saturday morning. Very intimate & cozy spot. Ordered the French onion soup. It had zero flavor. Majority of items on the menu are rabbit. Possibly the worst soup I've ever had. Unfortunately, the service was a bit off as well. I don't even believe we had a waitress towards the end of our brunch. Their cocktails are phenomenal though. Very beautiful outdoor seating as well. Even during the rain.
The food was fantastic, ambiance was cozy, & the service was personable & engaging, which is a big part of the dining experience for me. The cocktails were tasty, & you absolutely must save room for the Salted Honey Pie. It undoubtedly ranks in the top 1% of the best desserts I've ever had-I could have easily eaten two! :) This is the kind of place we'll return to every time we visit Quebec.
Came here for lunch on a Saturday with a reservation - the place is quite small & got pretty busy when we were there, so a reservation is highly recommended. We ordered the tout lapin tout canard (rabbit & duck platter) to share, & the portion was just right for the three of us. Found the rabbit leg to be a bit dry, but it was very good with the sauces. The duck was great (especially the smoked duck breast) & overall there were a lot of interesting textures & flavours which we enjoyed. Ambiance is rustic & cozy, & service is friendly & quick.
I last visited Lapin almost 10 years ago & was glad to return to compare experiences. Portions have become smaller, prices have predictably increased. But I was pleased that the quality of the cuisine has not dropped much, & the atmosphere of the restaurant is still just as cozy. Some confusion was caused by the waiter, who hovered over one table, conducting a casual conversation about his passion for dancing, not paying attention to the other two tables that were trying to attract his attention. But we sincerely wish this guy success in his dance career!
