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.
The food was excellent from the start to the end. We had an appetizer that a variety of tasty morsels, 2 main plates & a dessert. All very satisfying & filling. The rabbit pot pie was very good, mild tasting between a chicken or duck flavor. I would go again to try the other rabbit dishes.
This little gem in the old quarter has maximum ambience. We were seated on the patio which I loved for people watching. The service was slow but this was not the servers fault - but rather the kitchen having a large number
Of orders. We shared a share platter & then shared desserts. It was a heat wave so we didn't feel like a heavy meal. My children got the $14 kids menu & it is elite. Amazing value & the food was so so tasty. No chicken nuggets at this amazing venue. One child had the poutine & the other the salmon & both were beautifully presented & seasoned.
I'd go back again the servers were helpful , kind & informative. You have to dine in the old town - & this was a perfect choice. The crème brulee was absolutely amazing. As were the truffles. Rabbit & duck aren't really my thing but I didn't dislike it & I'm glad I had some of the local cuisine

Lovely little restaurant. Charming ambience & delicious food. We had the cassoulet with the rabbit leg, french onion soup & the summer salad. Everything was so good. My favorite was the dessert...salted honey pie. One of the best desserts I have ever had!
The food was nice, except they forgot to wash their greens. I can still feel the sand between my teeth when I think about the evening. The server was quick to understand & empathize. She quickly offered 1 complimentary dessert for the sandy chard in 3 of our dishes.
My husband ordered a stuffed Lapin which he really liked. I ordered a grilled salmon which was good too.
We also ordered their mocktails & drinks which were good too.
The ambiance was very cozy. We sat outdoors. The old Quebec city streets are beautiful in the evening. We could see them from our seat 💜
During our visit to Quebec City, we had lunch at Le Lapin Sauté, & it was easily one of the highlights of our trip. From the moment we arrived, we felt genuinely welcomed.
I ordered the rabbit poutine with mustard sauce, & it was absolutely out of this world. The rabbit was perfectly prepared, tender & flavorful, & the mustard sauce brought everything together beautifully. I also had the cassoulet with duck & sausage, & it was nothing short of spectacular-rich, hearty, & packed with deep, comforting flavors. It was one of those dishes that reminds you why classic French-Canadian cuisine is so beloved.
We also shared a salad that was fresh, beautifully prepared, & absolutely exquisite. For dessert, I tried the far Breton, which was the perfect ending to an outstanding meal-delicious, authentic, & wonderfully satisfying.
What made the experience even more memorable was the service. Our waiter was incredibly friendly, welcoming, & generous with his time. I speak French, & my partner is currently learning French, so it was especially meaningful to be able to converse with him & learn more about life in Quebec City. He made us feel comfortable, encouraged the conversation, & added a personal touch that made our visit truly special.
The food was genuinely high quality, & every dish reflected great care, skill, & attention to detail. Combined with the warm atmosphere & exceptional hospitality, Le Lapin Sauté delivered one of the best dining experiences of our trip.
Thank you to the entire team for such a wonderful afternoon. I wish you continued success & look forward to returning the next time we visit Quebec City.
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 👍
We asked if we could come in for dessert & coffee later in the evening. The host seated us as there was an open table. After we sat down ready to look at the menu, the host returned & asked us to leave as the server refused to serve us unless we were having dinne
Not worthed the hype. First of all, the service was so slow - took 15 minutes to order, 45 minutes to be served & about 2 hours to leave since they wouldn't bring the check. Waiters are nice but service is poor. Second, the food was so bland & lightly uncooked - they insisted the food should be like that but have tried more cooked in other spots. We all had stomach issues after eating it. The only good thing was the dessert. Finally, the food was pricey but lacking good service & quality. Looked promising but bad experience overall.
Spent ample time digging into all of the websites looking for the best French Onion Soup in Quebec City & ... I think I found it. This place est exceptionnel! Overall cool dinner atmosphere nooked away on Rue du Petit Champlain. Bonus if you try their maple dessert wine - something I didn't even know I needed! Nothing but good things to say & would highly recommend.
