Le Lapin Sauté est largement reconnu pour son atmosphère chaleureuse et intime ainsi que pour sa cuisine franco-québécoise authentique, mettant en vedette des plats de lapin et de canard. Bien que de nombreux convives louent la saveur du menu, la qualité de la présentation et un service attentionné qui en font une destination incontournable du Petit Champlain, certaines expériences ont souligné des irrégularités occasionnelles concernant la rapidité du service, la température des plats ou la taille des portions. L'endroit demeure un choix populaire pour ceux qui recherchent un cadre rustique et charmant, bien que sa petite taille rende les réservations souvent nécessaires pour éviter les attentes.
My boyfriend really wanted to try rabbit while we were in Quebec & this place definitely delivered. Easy to walk to, as it is right in the middle of touristy Quartier Petit Champlain. The rabbit leg was very tender & tasty & the rabbit pot pie was full of flavor. We also got a cheese for an appetizer, which was a fun experience, & the tiramisu for dessert. Service was great, the staff is very capable in both French & English, & the atmosphere is very nice & cozy.
I grew up on wild meat so this was the perfect restaurant for me. So glad I got the chance to visit. I loved every bite. I ordered the duck sausage & rabbit leg which comes on a bed of beans & it just reminded me of eating dinner with my grandfather. Very nostalgic. Great flavours. Had the salted honey pie for dessert which was absolutely delicious. Fresh bread whenever we asked (gotta eat beans with buttered bread, I don't make the rules) we had a very nice lady serve us but there was also a gentleman with glasses that helped with every table as well. They're a team he said. He was very lively & energetic. Definitely a meal I'll have to come back for. Don't miss out when coming to Quebec City. I would recommend a reservation though as they're usually full.
Unique recipes, excellent food & great service. Of course we had to have the rabbit & duck, it is their specialty. Although it was winter time & thought it would not be very busy, we were lucky to book a reservation a couple of days in advance, people without reservations were not able to get a seat. We recommend the Creme Brule for dessert, it is not your usual Jello pudding, it is very light & just right & the flavour is outstanding. Five stairs in all categories.
Service was excellent.Ambience was excellent. Most of the food was very good. French onion soup was excellent. Cassoulet was poor: beans way overcooked & mushy, too much bean liquid, dish needed herbs & was very bland. For desserts, honey pie was very good.
It was difficult getting a reservation at this popular restaurant, & our excitement was high due to its great reviews. However, the food didn't quite match our expectations. Each of us ordered a course with an appetizer, main dish, & dessert, but nothing stood out as impressive. The rabbit dishes we tried, while an interesting experience since we hadn't tasted rabbit before, ended up tasting like drier chicken. Overall it was still a good dining experience, but not as amazing as we'd hoped.
The best rabbit dish I have had in my life! It was also my husband's first time having rabbit & he loved his dish also! Special dessert for my bday as well- wonderful experience
Great location, somewhat small but well organised so get a reservation to get in & get it early! Food: rabbit poutine starter amazing (best part of our meal & some of the best around!), rabbit pies good, chocolate truffle dessert fab, pear dessert was not good (undercooked). Overall, we enjoyed our meal & would suggest this location but would say it's popular so be aware it will be a treat
We were very disappointed in the food. The duck fois gras was diappointing. Small serving size. Low quality toast & jam. Not worth the price. We esch ordered rabbit with different sauce. The meat was great but sauces tasteless, veg over cooked. Pear dessert was very low quality. Very sad, we hzd reservations for weeks. This was very low quality tourist food.😒
