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.
Food was delicious & atmosphere was warm amd welcoming. Would recommend getting reservations as it is a small place. We had the taste platter with duck, rabbit, salmon & cheese.
Such a lovely experience! The wait staff were exceptionally helpful & attentive, offered up suggestions for food & drink, took our coats when we got there, checked in on us & made friendly conversation. The atmosphere was lovely & intimate, the decor was very cute & all garden & rabbit themed, which I loved. The food was SO GOOD. We had the plate of rabbit & duck & it was a fun experience. For dessert we had the maple crème brûle & it was the best I've had. I would absolutely come back here as it was the best dining experience I've had in the city.
Located on the popular Rue du Petit Champlain, this quaint French bistro felt very on theme with the charming traditional Quebec City architecture so synonymous with this location. The authentic tastes of their food left an equally memorable impression on us. We were lucky to grab a table for two early in the evening for dinner. The restaurant was full of guests but there remained a pleasant, cozy ambience with its gentle lighting as well as a clear view through the windows to the street out front. The staff helping us was friendly & patient when we gave our orders in English. To start, we had the French Onion Soup & Cheese Fondue & those came with plenty of fresh bread & butter. The cheese in the soup was stringy & different from the cheese in the fondue. The rich onion flavours in the soup also made it a great dip for the bread. Together with our delightful cocktails, anticipation for the mains was building. The rabbit themed signage at the door & on the menu made an obvious dish suggestion. We ordered the Rabbit Leg Cassoulet & the Duck Cured Meats Platter as our mains. The cassoulet was cooked well & the rabbit leg was juicy & tender. There were plenty of vegetables which added heft to the hearty stock. The Cured Meats Platter was beautifully arranged & tasted as good as it looked. It was a lot of fun mixing & matching the different meats & crackers as we worked our way around the platter. Overall, we really felt having dinner here made our short stay in Quebec City a memorable experience. We would recommend it to anyone, but especially to anyone who is not the most au fait with French cuisine.

Delicious! My partner & I had a great time. I was quite hungry when I got there, but I felt no hunger for 24 hours after eating. Our server was very funny & quick & kept us happy. We came in around noon but no spots were open so we came back at 1:15. A tip: before you send pictures of the rabbit poutine to your friends, make sure none of them have pet rabbits who passed away that morning. My partner says it was a hilarious mistake. Quebec cheese fondue with crispy onions: wonderful fondue. Rabbit poutine main course: delectable, & a huge size. I couldn't finish it all, even with help from my partner. Maple crème brûlée: bland & too burnt for my taste. Smoked duck breast: my partner had it & said it was disappointingly cold, but good other than that. Rabbit pot pie: my partner loved it. On her first bite, she made a face that made me jealous of the pie. Salted honey pie: my partner said it was great but too salted. I had a bite & it was delicious. Total bill: $126.94 after 15% tip & taxes.
If you must eat at this place, do suggest to make a reservation to guarantee a table. We lucked out that there was a table available. Everything looks so good on the menu. Wasn't too hungry, wanted a sample of everything, on the menu there is a "To Share" . We got the "Tout lapin tout canard" - Raised rabbit leg, duck leg confit, rabbit rillettes, duck foie gras terrine, smoked duck breast, roasted garlic, vegetables, roasted potatoes, bread croutons & marinade. The foie gras, your either going to like it or not. The server that brought our dish was excellent in informing us each part of the dish.
This was the perfect place for our last dinner in Quebec City. Definitely requires a reservation because the inside is small but jam packed with tables. We arrived a little early but we enjoyed sitting at the courtyard right next to the restaurant listening to a street music performer. Once we were seated our waitress was SO lovely even as she maneuvered around all the tight corners to all the tables. She suggested sparkling wine to start & we couldn't resist! Everything we had was so good (the fondue especially - I could have ordered this again as a main! Their specialty is rabbit & duck & we should have tried them, but we stuck with the fish & chicken options. Still very good. A little disappointed in the desserts, but we were also quite full at that point. Such cute decor & ambiance even as the night died down closer to closing. Worth it to visit!
