Le Lapin Sauté concentre son approche culinaire sur des préparations régionales françaises mettant en vedette le lapin comme élément signature. La carte privilégie des ingrédients issus de sources locales transformés par des techniques de cuisine de marché classiques. Les convives découvrent des plats tels que le lapin confit et les morceaux braisés qui démontrent une profondeur de goût et des méthodes de préparation traditionnelles. L architecture du lieu utilise des murs de pierre apparente et des poutres en bois pour définir l atmosphère intérieure. Les tables occupent un environnement rustique qui reflète un style de bâtiment régional historique. La sélection de volailles et de gibiers propose un récit cohérent centré sur les produits saisonniers. Chaque assiette maintient une adhésion stricte aux standards régionaux authentiques en soulignant la polyvalence du gibier dans les applications culinaires actuelles.
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 Sweet, Quaint, Romantic escape into the past. You'll ask yourself if you're in Quebec or France.... not for picky kids like mine unfortunately .. but we took them anyway.. thankfully little one still enjoyed the Crepe. On the other hand, We enjoyed some delicious French dishes. Rabbit poutine, duck foie gras, duck confit & of course to finish it off we HAD to have the creme brulee. The service was excellent & accommodating. Very friendly. You have to make reservations as this place seems to always be fully booked..its a very cozy small restaurant so you can't expect to get a spot on the whim. Plan ahead & make this stop a must!
It's a very cozy & busy place. Definitely make a reservation. Lots of people were turned away due to no reservation.
The host was friendly & seated us quickly even though we were quite warmly for our reservation
The waitresses were helpful & friendly.
I give 4 stars rather than 5 because we had the sampler for two people. While most of it was tasty, it was too small a serving for two people & the price.
The French onion soup was really nice.
It's got a great atmosphere.
I'll definitely return when I'm back in Quebec
We enjoyed an excellent lunch. The meal was excellent, the atmosphere cozy & inviting, & the service gracious. We will happily return on our next visit to Quebec. Merci!

I was eagerly anticipating dining at this restaurant, drawn to its local, specialized, & cozy ambiance—the kind I prefer most. Despite the bustling Christmas season in Quebec City, I was fortunate to secure a table. To my delight, every aspect of our experience surpassed expectations.
The friendly staff warmly welcomed us & treated us to their incredible mulled wine. The French onion soup was truly delectable, setting the tone for our meal. Acting on our waitress's suggestion, we opted for the rabbit & duck platter, which offered an assortment of both cold & hot dishes—an excellent choice. The waitress remained attentive & helpful throughout, enhancing our overall experience.
Remarkably, the bill was surprisingly reasonable, considering the quality & enjoyment we received.
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
My brother & I were in Québec City for a wedding, & loved the ambience of this restaurant from the streets in Le Petit Champlain, so we decided to Google it & see what the menu was like.
We loved the cozy rustic vibe of this place. We tried the Rabbit & Duck Cassoulet for 2. With no exaggeration, we felt like it was one of the best meals we had during our stay. We are so happy we made a reservation in advance, because we watched them turn many parties away due to how busy & full they were with reservations!
Staff was very friendly & made sure to check on us often.
Would love to come back here any time I'm in Québec City!
a quaint & cozy restaurant. would recommend making reservations ahead of time. i was lucky to get a table walking in on a monday evening. food wise, everyone says french onion soup was good but maybe it’s just not my thing. it was lukewarm, which is a bit weird. & it was too salty. for the warm salad with rabbit kidneys & livers, i liked everyone in this dish except for the rabbit livers & kidneys. but it’s probably just me, not on the restaurant. however i cannot imagine better purée / dressing & potatoes for this salad, very tasty, light in flavor profile but good portion for the stomach! the salad itself is worth a 5/5.
