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.
AMAZING PLACE
AMAZING SERVICE
AMAZING QUALITY OF FOOD !!
We had dinner at Le Lapin Sautè, we ordered tout lapin tout canard, we loved loved loved it !
I don't eat rabbits, so we took 2 duck legs,
Each tiny item in the plate is delicious, tasty & juicy !
I do love our experience there,
Very very very recommended !
Amazingly good...from the French onion soup which was salted just right...the fries were fresh cut....& the cassoulet with duck sausage, rabbit leg & wonderfully buttery beans & pork were savoury & perfect... even the rabbit which is usually dry was done perfectly & with the sauce in the beans was a perfect pairing. All the staff worked together & the setting was very French & pub-like at the same time.
The friendliest server recommended this spectacular duck & rabbit platter for two. The interior is small & cozy but it just adds to the atmosphere. Couldn't recommend it enough.
It's such a lovely restaurant with wonderful staff who make the entire dining experience incredible.
We tried the cassoulet, both the seafood & the duck versions. I must admit that slow-cooked bean dishes usually aren't my thing, but I really liked the beans here.
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
Prime location on Le Petite Champlain; great atmosphere & very friendly staff. We went during lunch with no wait which is the right move, as with dinner you will need a reservation well in advance.
We ordered the mushroom ravioli & the duck saddle - both were amazing & well portioned. We believe the price was worth what we paid.
We got lucky with a corner seat in the patio, & so we enjoyed people watching with a great meal
We had the cassoulet with rabbit & duck sausage as well as the salmon for dinner. Service was excellent. The day had been hot & the servers kept our water glasses topped up while not at all being intrusive. The meal was considerably enjoyable. I would go back to try more dishes if I had more days. We finished with an exquisite creme brûle. We were there on Monday night before Canada day & the place was brimming with people! Music selection was also great with many of our servers happily singing from time to time. Tbh, I think that type of happiness is contagious.
Excellent location, food, & service. We were pleased they have a full GF menu. We had a platter with a nice mix of rabbit, duck, cheeses & gluten free bread. Was not large portions for 3 but high quality
