Le Lapin Sauté concentre son approche culinaire sur des préparations régionales françaises mettant en vedette le lapin comme élément signature. 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.
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
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!
During our recent visit to Québec City, we had a reservation at Le Lapin Sauté to try their signature Tout Lapin Tout Canard platter. While the ambiance & service were highlights of our evening, the execution of the main dish left something to be desired.
The restaurant itself is charming & exceptionally well-decorated. The entrance is so picturesque that it practically demands a photo. The staff were incredibly friendly & welcoming throughout our meal. When the platter arrived, it was visually stunning & beautifully plated, setting a high expectation for the food.
The duck confit was prepared well, & the duck foie gras was a highlight, pairing perfectly with the extra bread we ordered. As a restaurant specializing in rabbit, our expectations were high, particularly for the braised rabbit leg. Unfortunately, the rabbit was bland & it was quite dry, with a texture reminiscent of a Thanksgiving turkey breast that had been left in the oven far too long. The bread included with the platter arrived stale, which was disappointing. Thankfully, we decided to order the'bread on demand' separately, which was fresh & helped salvage the foie gras course.
While we truly enjoyed the beautiful setting & the warm hospitality, the inconsistency of the main course was a letdown. Québec City has a fantastic culinary scene with many high-quality dining options, & while the experience at Le Lapin Sauté was lovely in terms of atmosphere, the food did not quite reach the level we had hoped for.

- rabbit pot pie: it kinda tasted like chicken bt at the same time not really. hearty, delicious. the fruit chutney was great though so sweet & sour. i luv the chutney.
- rabbit leg:
overall, didnt blew my expectations out of the water bt i had a great time, food was good, just not exceptional. but the Amaretto & maple crème brûlée though- i didnt know creme brulee can have that flavour. i like that.
An incredible find in Quebec City! Le Lapin Sauté is the perfect place to try rabbit for the first time; it was prepared perfectly. The service was excellent, & the restaurant itself is so charming & aesthetically pleasing. I loved every bit of it!
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.
Rabbit was delicious, service was great, & a nice location in old Quebec City.Food had great flavours & seasoning & not over salted. Try the rabbit pot pie!
