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.
Great experience on a Monday night in late winter at Le Lapin Saute. The atmosphere was cozy without being crowded, & rabbit themed without being too cute. Service was flawless - just the right amount of attention, recommendations, pace. We don't speak Quebecoise but the staff had impeccable English & made us feel welcomed. (This was true everywhere we went in Quebec City even as Canadian & American politicians are at odds.)
Food - we had rabbit poutine as an appetizer & a rabbit-duck sampler (with fondue) as our entree. Delicious, beautiful, unusual in a warm & rich good way.
The first place we chose to have dinner on our three-day visit to Quebec was Le Lapin Saute to sample their rabbit pot pie & the rabbit stew with wine & vegetables. The flavors of both were comforting, reflecting the recipe of a'home-cooked' meal; the rabbit tender, flavorful, the pastry of the pie flaky & buttery, the vegetables tasted'garden-fresh.'
Most fancy restaurants serve small servings & pretentious dishes. This is a fancy place with great portions & very tasty food!
The duck fois gras is exactly the way it should taste, seeved with an amazing ginger bread.
Went with the Rabbit Poutine with mustard & it too was so tasty!
Finally, I consider myself to be a Crème Brûlée. I've had it all over the US, Canada & Europe , including in Paris & this was as good as I've had, done just right!
The service is nice. The restaurant is quite small - I estimate about 30 seats, so make a reservation. It will be worth it!
I was here 10 years ago, & went again with my colleagues. We loved the historic feel of this small but delightful resto-bar. The food was amazing! Various rabbit & duck dishes, traditional Quebec food! Right in the heart of the Old Quebec area.
The staff were so friendly!
We wish we could go again!
My husband & I had two of the best meals, the rabbit stew was absolutely delicious, moist & very flavorful & the rabbit saddle was also great. Adorable cozy spot for a romantic meal!
We had a delightful meal on New Years Eve with our two kids (11 & 13). The food, wine & service were all phenomenal. If you're in Quebec & can get a reservation, it is definitely a must do. The rabbit poutine & fois gras are amazing!!
Such a charming place for a meal in the Lower Town of Old Quebec! The restaurant is small so reservations are highly recommended, we saw a lot of walk-ins get turned away. The food is delicious & the service is fantastic. Try the cheese fondue with crispy onions, it was so yummy! We also got the lamb chop, pasta, & rabbit saddle. Everything was cooked perfectly & served with a smile!
Everything is so good! We ordered soup of the day & the rabbit meat pie (I forgot the name) also the platter with duck leg rabbit leg & smoked duck meat. Portion is good enough for two to three ppl. Remember to make reservation! Would def come back again ❤️
