Le Lapin Sauté
A cozy, rustic bistro on Rue du Petit-Champlain opened in 1988, famous for its rabbit poutine and rabbit pie.
Opened in 1988 on the bustling Rue du Petit-Champlain, this restaurant specializes in rabbit and duck dishes. Popular items include rabbit poutine, rabbit pie, and a cassoulet featuring duck sausage and rabbit leg, alongside cheese fondue and apple-maple pie. Some diners recommend asking to substitute the poutine gravy with mustard sauce, while other reviews note the rabbit leg can be average and the menu offers limited choices for those who do not eat rabbit or duck. In summer, it features a 52-seat terrace right next to Parc Félix-Leclerc. Easily accessible on foot in the Petit-Champlain district, or via the funicular from the Upper Town.
