Visiting Quebec City. We found Le Lapin on Yelp! We ordered the to-share plate. Wow! The plate was filled with delicious goodness including duck, rabbit, hummus, vegetables etc... I also had a great Seatea Kombucha made from Nordic sea buckhorn. Great lunch experience. Service was fast, friendly and efficient. read more

Make reservations. It's quite intimate inside and fills up quick. Staff speak both French and English and knew to give us menus in English. Absolutely adorable restaurant outside and inside. You feel like you're in a rabbit burrow. The decor is carefully thought out and charming. The pulled rabbit poutine was great with a mustard sauce instead of the brown gravy you usually get with poutine. The small appetizer poutine was already the perfect size to share along with our smoked duck winter salad and onion soup. Onion soup was made with ale and was covered in cheese. The only thing was that I wished the soup had more broth than cheese. But the onions were tender and cooked down thoroughly. The cheese pull you get is foot long! The broth had a depth of flavor that is not replicated elsewhere. I had the honey pie years ago and remembered that it was sweet, but very good. We didn't have room for dessert, but the maple amaretto creme brulee sounded amazing. All in all, a great meal everytime. read more

This is great quality restaurant in a great location. Their rabbit saddle was amazing. Service was great as well. The waitress came and checked several times, quickly filling the water. It is small inside, so reservation may be needed for high season. I just walked in on a Wednesday evening and got seated quickly. Overall I had great experience. read more

The bread was really good especially with the salty, soft butter that was super easy to spread. I tried rabbit for the first time. It wasn't bad at all! Kind of like beef, but it was cold, which threw me off a bit. We got the fondue, which was smaller than I expected. It was good, just not super memorable. There was another rabbit dish too that was more like chicken it was a little dry, but I think that's just how rabbit is. Luckily, the sauce it came with helped balance it out. The roasted potatoes on the side were nice, though they could've used a bit more salt (but I found one that was salted just right and redeemed the whole batch). For dessert, we shared a poached pear and a caramel cake. The caramel cake was a bit on the sweet side but still pretty good. Overall, dinner felt a little random, but I'm glad I tried everything! The glasses also had the initials LS which are my initials and we told them and they gladly gave me a cup for memory. read more

This was the best meal of the year for us so far! I still think about that Pulled Rabbit Poutine. We could not get a dinner reservation here due to nothing be available for weeks so we stopped in for lunch on a Sunday and were sat 15 minutes later, we got so lucky! The service was fantastic and the food was just incredible, and a very special shout out to our cocktails as well. We were so impressed by everything. The finest French cuisine I've ever had! We cannot wait to go back! read more

Such a cozy restaurant! I joined on a weekday and was able to get seated without a reservation, even though the space was almost full. We did need to sit outside, but it wasn't too cold and there were heaters. We tried the pot pie and the poutine. The pot pie was amazing! Steaming hot with a flaky crust, it really hit the spot. We also tried the poutine. The gravy wasn't my favorite but the meat was good and fries were crispy. Overall a very cool spot to check out. read more

Was a super recommended spot online for food in Quebec so we had to try. Located in the heart of old Quebec, there is plenty to do before/after or waiting for your table. We lucked out with the fall weather and was seated outside. It is overall a small place that is kinda crowded for large groups but glad we were able to get a table for 6. The server was super friendly and enthusiastic about the menu. Food didn't really stand out too much but was glad to try out their rabbit dishes. read more

Wanted to explore French Canadian cuisine while on our trip to Quebec City & found this to be a good place for it! We had Foie Gras, rabbit pot pie & poutine- all very good! To finish, we enjoyed a salted honey pie which was so unique & delicious! If you are not that adventurous, there are some safer dishes to try too- French onion soup& cheese fondue. Service was a bit slow but we were not in a hurry so it wasn't a problem. Cute & cozy restaurant in the Le Petit Champlain shopping district! read more

A rabbit focused cafe in the heart of old Quebec City. It's in the middle of everything, yet didn't feel very touristy. The meat was tender and perfectly cooked. The pot pie was delicious, with a good wine to go along. Priced pretty well especially for the combo. Due to the snow, the tables near the entrance seemed a bit flooded as guests walked in and out. Having some way to keep the place dry should significantly improve the experience. read more

Just wow. What a quaint, homey, cozy place to eat some incredible rabbit on a cold, snowy day!! Get a reservation, as this place had no openings all weekend. We scored a lunch reservation, and it was one of the last ones. The food: The small rabbit poutine was outstanding. The rabbit was unbelievably tender. And the gravy had such a rich, deep flavor. Perfect for one. My wife raved about her onion soup. My rabbit leg and duck sausage cassoulet was out of this world! The rabbit was again tender and tasty. The duck sausage - a little sweet, a little salty, unctuous, a true delight! The beans and bacon complimented everything perfectly. I'm a fan of rabbit! Just plain delicious. Come to this place and let your taste buds enjoy. read more

It had been eight years since I last busted this cozy and delicious restaurant and my sweet memories of it held true. I cannot rave about this place enough. From the stunning exterior decor to the rabbit focussed menu to the welcoming vibe for kiddos despite the elevated menu... I love all of it. It feels as if you're dining in the kitchen of the most inviting home. They were very welcoming to our family of four that included a baby and toddler. We shared the rabbit poutine, rabbit pot pie and sampled local Québécois cheeses. We also thoroughly enjoyed their non-alcoholic menu featuring local and seasonal ingredients. I highly recommend making a reservation in advance. In summary- you won't regret making this restaurant a priority during your visit to Quebec City read more

What an incredible restaurant. It is small and quaint. It feels as if you're dining in a small village in France. The staff is wonderful and the food even better. The French onion soup was fantastic and loaded with cheese. It's perfect for cheese lovers. The Carrot and Pea soup was awesome as well. It was a great way to start. The entrees, Rabbit Saddle was fantastic and the sauce made the dish. The Walleye was great as well. This is a must when in town. read more

I walk into Le Lapin Sauté in Quebec, on a very busy Saturday night. The owner greets me: "Hello Monsieur Boss! Please follow me, we prepared a table just for you." Right smack with the nice view, kept just for the Rebel Chef. The best table! That's my French restaurant. But they call only one guy - ME - "Boss". They assigned two bussers to my table, while other tables had nobody. They know a review is coming! Got some beer. Kicked back and drank.. I also order a very hearty Québécois type soup and - quixotically - a burger with a fish patty, that was too good to not order, since this is a fisheries province after all. The soup was phenomenal. Drinks extra smooth with enough alcohol % to put down an elephant. Main course was served to me - to me alone - by both the waiter and buss-gal; to make sure all was as it should be. Restaurants know the "Boss" has arrived, when the Rebel Chef is in town making reviews and posing for photos! Salmon patty burger was fat, not fatty at all and nicely seared. Hot but not overcooked. Its ingredients were fresh. Pitch perfect old town setting with small kitchen that cooks up Quebec-Americain! The desserts are delicious. I noticed some out of towners, they order the same thing they get at home: spaghetti, salad. Not me! I'm legit and order the unknown, weird, dishes. Need taste? So, follow me on Yelp! My reviews are the reason, the restaurant industry calls the Rebel Chef: "Boss!" when I arrive for an evening dinner - son. "Hello Monsieur Boss!" Review: 5 read more

Le Lapin Sauté was my choice for a belated birthday dinner while we were touring through Québec City and it was delicious! I think service knocked them down just a little bit though. On the night of our reservation, it started raining maybe 10 minutes before our reservation. While the staff acknowledged our arrival, they also let us know we couldn't stand inside due to space. However, they also don't offer much of an awning outside so...luckily some of the buildings just across the street had doorways that were slightly recessed. Looking over the menu, it's clear Le Lapin Sauté specializes in rabbit and duck, it's one of the reasons I chose it after all. We tried the French onion soup, the appetizer sampler, the rabbit saddle, and the braised rabbit with duck sausage. For dessert we added their famed salted honey pie. Everything we had was tasty but it did take a long time to come out. We had even asked for the appetizers to come first since we had walked around the city all day and were pretty hungry. Nope, still at least a 35-45 min wait. Alas, it was still worth it in the end! The French onion soup was chocked full of onions in a rich broth topped with an ample amount of cheese! The sampler plate had many little things to enjoy but the rabbit rillettes was definitely my favorite! The crostinis don't do the plate much justice so do yourself a favor and request their house made rolls - they are warm and fluffy, you're welcome. Between the two entrees, I liked the roasted saddle more. The duxelle really helped to elevate the dish and I liked the roasted potatoes on the side. The braised rabbit seemed a little overdone? It was borderline tough but the duck sausage was pretty good and I really enjoyed the beans on this dish, especially with the bread! Dessert was a slice of salted honey pie and I appreciated the sparkling candle they stuck on top for my birthday - it certainly caught the attention of the dining room for better or worse haha. The pie was so good! It wasn't too sweet and the custard a nice, rich caramel flavor throughout. read more

We had dinner at this restaurant, because it was selling rabbit meat and duck meat here. We would like to try. We had a Quebec Discoveries ($32) that included duck breast, salmon, rabbit meat mix, country pate (pork and chicken livers), and Quebec Cheese; also we ordered the rabbit leg ($32) that included a rabbit leg and some beans. Food tastes not too bad, but not having surprises. The rabbit leg tasted not marinated, but it did have sauce on the top. Salmon was raw that I had mentioned I don't eat raw stuff, but waitress didn't remember it. Rabbit meat mix and duck meat were like tearing meat and put them together. 2 pieces for each one. The Quebec Discoveries was a bit over the price, the leg was ok. I like patio seats, but not at night, too many bugs around, especially by the garden. So try to get there early if you want to try. Also they have text system that it could send you a message and inform you. That's cool ah! You can still explore when you waiting for the seat. read more

My husband's favorite restaurant because he loves rabbit meat. We can't find good rabbit restaurants in the Bay Area. While visiting Quebec City's UNESCO site (old Quebec City, oldest city in North America). We came early to get outdoor seating because we have a small dog. They only allow service dogs. Our dog is well behaved. He liked the little garden setting outside. Inside looks small. Food is the best part. We ordered the following: - Quebec discovery with foie gris with a little of everything from appetizers section 4/5 - rabbit saddle 6/5 nice piece of rabbit with tomato flavored meat and lots of vegetables green beans and red cabbage and the second sauce - dory fish with the same vegetables 5/5 - cheese fondue 5/5 small bowl but delicious - French onion soup 5/5 - sangria 4/5 - le juliette drink 5/5 aloe and watermelon juice not super sweet Service was good read more

This is such a cozy little restaurant located in the beautiful Petit-Champlain district. The fireplace added a nice touch and was pleasant considering how freezing cold it was outside. The restaurant is on the smaller side, but it definitely had a warm and welcoming atmosphere that we really appreciated! I would highly recommend making a reservation here if you are looking to dine in! The service was super friendly and quick as we were immediately shown to our table and our order was taken promptly as well! My favorite items on the menu were the Onion Soup with Red Beer and Cantonnier Cheese Gratin and the Duck Foie Gras. For our main courses, we also ordered the Cassoulet with Duck Sausage and Braised Rabbit Leg and the Rabbit Pot Pie with the Fruit Chutney. While the appetizers we ordered were amazing, we felt that the main courses definitely lacked a touch of seasoning. However, I'd definitely come back just for the appetizers and atmosphere and to try some desserts next time! read more

This is a charming rabbit focused Café on the beautiful cobblestone streets of Quebec city. It is small and dainty & has a beautiful outdoor patio if you are lucky enough to be seated there. As you dine, you can also watch the tourist strolling by which is an added bonus. The service is very friendly and assists you in picking out the perfect meal to choose. The menu options while heavily focused on rabbit preparation also do offer some vegetable and non-game options for those interested. This seemed like the most authentic eatery in this very touristy neighborhood and despite the heavy tourism we are glad we chose it and would surely return. read more

Cute little restaurant in the heart of Quebec City. We had made a reservation but arrived about an hour earlier than our reserved time, and they let us in. The place does get busy, though. We chose to sit outside; it's very pretty and overlooks a garden area where sometimes there are musicians playing songs. Although the table and chairs in the outdoor seating area are not too sturdy. We got the Quebec discoveries with foie gras to share. I also got the French onion soup which was yummy. The Quebec discoveries has a little bit of everything and is a nice way to try out different items in their menu.  The staff was friendly and service was good. read more

The service was amazing. The setting was very fun. We thought the best thing we had (out of many) was the grilled cheese, believe it or not.

I loved the quaint, rustic facade of this restaurant. It's located on Rue du Petit-Champlain so it's surrounded by a bunch of shops and eateries. My friend and I did not have reservations so we tried doing a walk in as soon as it opened. I was able to add my name to the waitlist and provided my contact number so we were able to explore the area until our table was ready. We were seated in the patio area. The ground wasn't completely leveled so sitting wasn't entirely comfortable. Plus side was being able to people watch and listen to the musician play songs as we were dining. Our servers were friendly. For a drink, I ordered the peach soda which was refreshing on a hot and humid summer day. For food, my friend and I shared Tout lapin tout Canard which was plenty of food for us. For $74, it included raised rabbit leg, duck leg confit, rabbit rillettes, duck foie gras terrine, smoked duck breast, roasted garlic, vegetables, roasted potatoes, bread croutons and marinade. Their foie gras made me love foie gras again. Everything was delicious except the rabbit was a tad dry for me and the bread tasted quite stale. Smoked duck breast was probably my favorite on the platter. read more

maybe my expectations were too high but really wanted to love the cassoulet as I make it at home. While the duck and rabbit was good the dish as a whole just did not have much flavor at all. Also it was not hot.

Ahh this was in many recommended sites so decided to try it . Rabbit sounds really exotic also :O Hmm so wasn't sure what to expect cause we've never tried rabbit so this is how it went : Pros: intimate gorgeous space , fireplace table sitting ( right behind me), unlimited free bread and butter if you ask , creme brûlée was so yummy Cons: tables were tight , washrooms were a bit weird : it was unisex and the toilet was up on a ledge so I can see this being inaccessible handicap folks Additional notes - For us personally , rabbit was just too exotic . It had this weird taste to it . We ordered both the Rabbit leg/ veggies and Rabbit pot pie with salad . The Rabbit meat in the pot pie was extremely pungent which made it difficult to enjoy . The Rabbit leg had a very odd creme flavor which masked the pungent taste but also was weird on its own :/ The waitress was friendly but also gave off some snobby vibes . Overall definitely worth to try . Rabbit meat was just not for us read more
