“What a little hidden oasis that makes you feel like you’ve left Victoria and gone somewhere much more upscale and sophisticated! Wine was fab and fairly priced per bottle. Every thing we ate was so delicious and flavourful. The olives, the chips (i could drink the ketchup) the charred romaine, agedashi tofu & pear dessert were all outstanding. Service was incredible and attentive (thank you Idi) i can’t wait to return and try more of the menu!”
“We loved most courses we ordered. The scallop aquachile with kimchi pear was a definite highlight. So is the five-spice confit duck leg. The scallion milk buns, burned romaine and the sake kasu poached haddock are good, but not stunning. The pork belly with Takana tagliatelle was too salty IMO; the shaved French bean salad was too grassy in taste. The sweets are also awesome -- the yuzu lemon cloud was airy, silky with a nice balance between sweetness and tartness. The chocolate and coffee entremet was very well made and every component was delicate and flavoursome. Highly recommended.”
“After a long period getting ourselves organized and friends in the town, available at the same time we made our reservations for Rabbit Rabbit. The 4 of us ordered a bunch of items of the menu to share which we all throughly enjoy. Each dish was well received and enjoyed everyone. The waiter attentive knowledgeable and engaged. Cocktails had unique twists which also showed the bar also kept up with the food offerings. My only negative and why I gave the atmosphere a 4/5 is the room is very dark which made reading the menu offering challenging without using the phone to light things up. Maybe some pendant light focused over the table directly would help while keeping the intimacy and ambiance the room. All said and done we will be back again.”
“My fiancé and I made a reservation at Rabbit Rabbit a couple of weeks in advance after hearing it was the new restaurant in town to visit. Upon entering the establishment, the décor and ambiance were definitely noteworthy. The lights, greenery, paintings, and pictures throughout the space were whimsical and played beautifully into the theme. After being seated, we were promptly greeted with water and informed of the evening’s specials. For dinner, we ordered the English chips, tuna tartare, karashi miso salmon, and one of the evening specials (which I unfortunately can’t recall). The English chips were super tasty and definitely stood out to us. I thought the karashi miso salmon was wonderful, although it was a tad on the saltier side. The tuna tartare was also a bit salty, but it didn’t detract too much from the overall dish. Our main dish was delicious, with great flavors, and the protein was cooked perfectly. We finished the evening with the miso caramel chocolate tart. The miso complemented the chocolate tart so well and we finished the tart in little to no time. Overall, we had a wonderful evening. The service was great—no complaints at all.”
“I’m impressed. The room was cozy and the service was fantastic. We loved the olives, the scallops, the charred romaine, and the unbirthday cake. The dumplings and the sablefish were mid. Mocktails were great. Only downfalls - some of the tables are quite tiny, and they don’t have dealcoholized wine. But overall, amazing place!”
