Le Lapin Sauté

I don't even know where to begin. At first I was worried this would be a tourist trap, as its location is in the heart of Old Quebec City. I am so happy I was wrong. This restaurant definitely tops as one of the best restaurants I've eaten at. We started with the French onion soup & salad. For dinner we ordered the steak frites & salmon dish. For dessert we ordered the honey pie & another.
The best French onion soup we've ever had. I would go back time & time again just to order it! The starter salad was simple but perfect. I often am disappointed with salmon dishes ordered at restaurants, however, their salmon dish is so dimensional in flavors & textures - exactly what I look for in a dish. The steak frites were also dimensional in flavor, however, it did unfortunately come out chewy.
The honey pie took my husband & I by surprise & we will continue to rave about how tremendous it was. We both went home on a high from how great our dinner was that night.
The staff was also great - attentive at just the right amount. They were also very accommodating about allowing us to bring our baby stroller to our table when our baby got tired & fussy.
Cannot wait to return back the next time we're in town!

We ordered the French onion soup & rabbit poutine after seeing so much hype about them on social media. Unfortunately, neither really lived up to our expectations. The French onion soup at Old Spaghetti Factory is much better, & honestly, we enjoyed Costco's poutine more than the rabbit poutine here.
That said, it's a cute little restaurant, & we really enjoyed being seated outside-it made for a nice atmosphere. One downside was that there was an unpleasant smell inside that reminded us of urine.

Overall, it was a nice place with a lovely outdoor setting, but the food didn't quite live up to the social media hype for us.

Le Lapin Sauté was such a fun & memorable dining experience in the heart of Old Québec. The restaurant has a warm, lively atmosphere, with excellent food & wine that everyone in our group thoroughly enjoyed.

Our server was fantastic-friendly, funny, & incredibly engaging-which made the evening even more entertaining. The team also helped us celebrate a birthday, making the dinner feel especially festive & personal. The rabbit saddle & French onion soup were both absolutely delicious.

A charming boutique restaurant with wonderful hospitality, great energy, & memorable cuisine. We would happily return!

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.

Rabbit Poutine! YES! Our favourite restaurant in Old Quebec City. Had a couple of icy cold Kronenbourg 1664 Blanc & shared a Rabbit Poutine & French Onion Soup on the cool, shady patio. Don't miss this great spot if you are in Vieux-Québec. Always busy, but easy to make a reservation online.

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!

Le Lapin Sauté absolutely lived up to its reputation. Everything we ordered was excellent, from the rich French onion soup & foie gras to the rabbit poutine, rabbit pot pie, & rabbit roulade. Each dish was flavorful, perfectly prepared, & showcased rabbit in a different way.

The atmosphere was warm, inviting, & very intimate-it's a small space that probably can't accommodate more than 20 people. The service was friendly & attentive, & the whole experience felt quintessentially Québécois.

Highly recommended!
