This place is great . Took the family there for a birthday party , Wanted something nice and a…read morelittle different . This is it ! It is located on the cute little main st. so a great place to walk around afterwards . They do 2 types of cheese dinners: 1st in the Swiss Fondue , half the party ordered that it it was fantastic . They give you meats and vegetables to dip . Excellent. 2nd is the Raclette .This is with the semi hard cheese they heat and scrape off onto your plate . Again you are given an assortment of meats and vegetables ,EVERYONE loved this . We have had it in multiple restaurants before and this was as good as any . Service is very good owner is very nice and accommodating ( youngest daughter doesn't eat much so owner said no problem for her to share with my wife ) Something to note . The prices on the menu Include taxes and tip so it is much cheaper than it originally appeared . And you can bring your own wine which makes it even better.

A fabulous dinner in a charming spot. This is one of the few "apporter votre vin" (bring your own…read morewine) restaurants on the main street in Baie St Paul. Also open for lunch, it serves dishes that creatively feature local Charlevoix dairy products. We required a reservation for our Saturday dinner - the place was "complet" - sold out. Nicholas and his wife not only cook and serve, they greet customers and passersby on the street from the outdoor patio. Finally we had a truly great meal in Baie St Paul. Not to be missed by anyone who truly respects the palate!

Our first meal in QC. And it was memorable in all the best ways…read more Located in the lower part of the city in the midst of all of the tourist shops, you could easily miss this gem. Great atmosphere (we opted for indoor seating since it was rather warm out), excellent service, and food that was easily some of the best we had during our weeklong stay in the city. Definitely try the rabbit. There are a few variations available. We had the Tourte Lapin and the Rable de Lapin along with a fondue to share. Also, some great local beers and a rose cidre to quench our thirst.

A Delicious Lunch in the Heart of Old Québec…read more We stopped into Lapin Sauté for lunch following a wonderful walking tour of Old Québec, and it proved to be the perfect place to relax and enjoy a memorable meal. Both of us opted for the table d'hôte menu, which included an appetizer, main course, dessert, and tea or coffee. We happily paid the small supplement to begin with the Duck Foie Gras served with strawberry-rhubarb jam and brioche--a decision we did not regret for a second. The foie gras was rich and silky, while the sweet-tart jam provided a beautiful contrast. For our entrées, I chose the Pulled Rabbit Poutine with devil's sauce. Comfort food elevated to another level, it was hearty, flavorful, and utterly satisfying. My dining partner selected the Cassoulet with duck sausage and duck leg confit. While the duck was excellent, it was the beans that stole the show--perfectly cooked, deeply flavored, and exactly what a great cassoulet should be. We finished with desserts: a traditional Far Breton for me and a beautifully executed Crème Brûlée for my dining partner. Both were wonderful endings to an already excellent meal. The service was warm and attentive, the ambiance charming and inviting, and the food delicious from beginning to end. Located in the heart of Old Québec, Lapin Sauté is exactly the kind of restaurant travelers hope to discover--authentic, welcoming, and serving food that leaves a lasting impression. Highly recommended, and we would gladly return on our next visit to Québec City.

Super-helpful to a party of three arriving with two mobility devices. (A party that arrived 20…read moreminutes early.) Great service. Lovely, delicious, comfort-ish food with just enough "I have never tasted anything quite like that!" quality. Also: Despite the restaurant being full of very conversational patrons, our party could all clearly hear one another. So rare in modern restaurants. Top marks, would totally go back.

Definitely a spot for tourists, not foodies. I consider myself both but knew coming in which side…read morewas going to be the target audience. And hey, if you are reading this in English on Yelp, odds are you too are probably a tourist to some degree. I do not see much reason for a local to come here other than if they are hosting a tourist visitor. For the food, the crust on the grandma's pie was flaky and buttery, and the maple pie was a clear highlight. But everything else was just passable considering the price. Reviews mentioning temperature and lack of seasoning are accurate. Presumably it is "authentic", and perhaps true to a local standard of home-cooking, but as a tourist, I would not know! However, you come here for the history and the ambiance, and those are indeed appealing. Service was good as well. My recommendation would be to follow the advice of one of those other reviews and just come here for the dessert: that way, you get all the best aspects of a visit without any of the more lacklustre components.
