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.

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.
Amazing place with delicious food. The variety of dishes, wine & cocktails is great. The rabbit poutine & veal steak were excellent. They have a great patio where you can relax & enjoy the meal. Reservations recommended. Totally recommend if you are visiting Quebec City!
It was so good I went back the next night. The duck & rabbit casserole was great but the rabbit fillets were even better. I had a le Lapin punch which was very refreshing. The patio is charming as were the staff.

I found this place through Google search for highly rated restaurants in old Quebec City & it did not disappoint. When we got to the restaurant, it was almost 12pm, as we didn't have a reservation, we were told that there would be seats available at 2pm. Very busy during the peak of summer! The inside & the patio seating area aren't very big so it fills up easily.
We ordered a rabbit poutine, French onion soup, rabbit leg & a kid's meal of salmon. The rabbit leg is excellent, I love the sweet potato puree. The beans & peas are soft, flavourful & plentiful. The onion soup was on the saltier side for me but if pairing with the rabbit leg, they go well together. We wanted to try at least one poutine dish while at Quebec so ordered the rabbit poutine as the restaurant is known for rabbit dishes.
The kids' menu is great & reasonably priced. It comes with a soup of the day, main, dessert & drink for $14. The portions are big enough to fill an adult. The soup is watermelon & veggie mixture, nice & cold on a hot day. We ordered a salmon dish & it came with a generous portion of salmon, lots of fries & peas & beans. Very healthy & tasty option for the kids.
The minor complaint is that the table is a bit small, it would have been okay if adults were dining, but with young kids, it feels a bit cramped.
Love the vibe of the street & the patio looks out onto a small park. Will be back when we visit Quebec again!
What an unexpected & lovely little spot. The ambiance & food was very French countryside quintessential. We enjoyed the large'to share' platter, which was plenty for the three of us to get a good sampling of the menu. The duck & roasted vegetables were especially delicious.
We arrived 30mins early & the staff was happy to accommodate. We shared the house salad & the rabbit poutine, both were really tasty. Definitely recommend this restaurant.
Meal was delicious, I have no complaints with the food itself. The restaurant was cute, I enjoyed eating on the patio. The bathroom was gross, for the price of the meal the bathrooms should be cleaned & checked more frequently. Service was shabby, we were not checked on very often. I normally tip 20% but as the service was not fantastic I left 15%, which honestly was still generous. The server walked away without saying thank you or have a good night when she saw the tip. It was the cherry on top for an upsetting visit. I felt insulted & disappointed. If you like pretty good food this restaurant is good, but you have to not care about the service to enjoy the experience. I don't recommend & wont be back.
