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!

?We had to make a reservation before arriving at dinner time. I absolutely loved the atmosphere; it was both cozy & vibrant.
?For starters, we had the French onion soup, followed by the Mushroom Ravioli & the Game Burger for our mains. The onion soup & ravioli were quite good. However, the burger had a very strong, gamey aroma; it honestly felt a bit like live stock with every bite. While the quality of the meat was clearly good, I've definitely had better burgers. If you prefer your meat to taste more neutral & dislike the strong smell of lamb fat or heavy beef, this might not be the burger for you.
?Service was also a bit on the slower side, with a pretty long wait between our starter & the main courses.

The star of the show was the waiter!

He was delightful & made all the right suggestions!

& he was right - the French Onion 🧅 Soup was ridiculously delicious!

Spent ample time digging into all of the websites looking for the best French Onion Soup in Quebec City & ... I think I found it. This place est exceptionnel! Overall cool dinner atmosphere nooked away on Rue du Petit Champlain. Bonus if you try their maple dessert wine - something I didn't even know I needed! Nothing but good things to say & would highly recommend.

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.

Great Appetizers, the Rest Falls Short

We went for lunch on a weekday. The restaurant has a cozy, homey atmosphere in the best sense, & the presentation of every dish was beautiful. Service was attentive throughout the meal.

The real highlight here is the duck foie gras. It was outstanding, served with a ¿beet? jam that was absolutely delicious & paired perfectly. The onion soup was also good.

For mains we ordered two rabbit dishes: the rabbit leg & the stuffed rabbit. Both were fine, but considering the restaurant's reputation & focus on rabbit, we were expecting something a bit more memorable.

Desserts were less successful. The honey tart had a very good base, but there was too much salt. The chocolate cake simply wasn't great

Unfortunately, the coffee was the weakest part of the meal. The filtered coffee tasted burnt, & the cappuccino was essentially the same coffee covered with a very large layer of milk foam, beautiful to look at, but it didn't hide the burnt taste.

Overall, the starters were the highlight, but the mains, desserts, & coffee didn't reach the same level, which made the overall experience feel average rather than memorable.
