What an exceptional meal at Le Lapin Sauté!

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.

The service is good. The main entree is just ok- duck meat is juicy but the rabbit meat is very dry. dessert is great. Overall, we enjoy the dinner but food is justbok for us.

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 👍

This is an amazing restaurant with incredible rabbit & duck dishes & should not be missed if you are in Quebec City! The building has a rustic cozy charm to it, the service is wonderful & the food is exceptional. Make sure to get reservations as they are always busy.

Truely a delicious little restaurant! Atmosphere was lovely & rustic, food was both unique & beautifully presented. Nearly every dish involves some form of rabbit meat, & (from what we had) was prepared simply yet tastefully.

Ordered the Tout Lapin Tout Canard which proved to be half charcuterie type meats & half duck & rabbit legs over puréed carrots & a rhubarb greens base. Was fantastic for sharing between two or three. Also pictured is the Summer salad, beautifully presented with corn sprouts & small flowers but nothing exceptional. Also ordered the fondue but would not recommend (strangely not cheesy).

Overall certainly worth stopping by for a lunch or dinner, restaurant was almost empty on Saturday afternoon. A bit pricey, but also flawlessly located. Very well presented/marketed, met expectations but didn't exceed them.

Make reservations. It's quite intimate inside & fills up quick.
Absolutely adorable. You feel like you're in a rabbit burrow. The decor is so cute. The pulled rabbit poutine was great. The small appetizer poutine was already the perfect size to share along with our smoked duck winter salad & onion soup. The only thing was that I wished the soup had more broth than cheese.
All in all, a great meal everytime.

Excellent dinner at Le Lapin Sauté. We ordered the roast duck magerit (generous portion size of tender & juice roasted duck with roasted potatoes in gravy, stuffed rabbit saddle, & tout lapin & canard - a sharing tasting plate for two). Finished with salted honey pie, maple creme brûlé & the molten chocolate cake.
Service was friendly & environment was cosy & comfortable.
I would recommend.

Amazing food, atmosphere & service! & very kid friendly with a great kid's menu. We ordered the Tout lapin tout canard & it gave us a yummy sample of lots of variety of duck & rabbit, out of which, our favourite is the duck leg confit & duck foie gras. Their bread is also fresh & delicious!
