Rabbit in Kensington and Chelsea

What a disappointment! Had read all the great reviews about this place but our experience was abysmal. It took 30 mins before we were even offered some water let alone anything else. The front of house constantly kept apologising for the bad service but nothing improved from start to finish. When the food finally arrived over an hour later we found only some of the food was ok, some undercooked, some cold. After our main course was cleared away - when one of our party was still eating - we received no further service. No offer of deserts or coffee or anything else. Front of house came to apologies once again when we refused to pay the service charge with excuses about new staff who hadn’t had the opportunity to be trained properly and staff illness. We booked this two weeks in advance and yet they were taking walk ins knowing they were inadequately staffed. I liked the ethos of the home based sourcing of the ingredients but I think this is just a scam! What’s worse is that we’d booked this for a friend who’d come from Paris to celebrate her birthday. The front of house said that if we came back we would be given free champagne and our experience would be much better. Not putting that to the test! Can spend my hard earned money in places where they know how to run a restaurant and cook properly

My friends and I walked into this restaurant during a busy lunch period and were pleasantly surprised by how quickly we were seated. The tapas-style menu was perfect for sharing, and every dish we tried was absolutely delicious! The flavors were vibrant, and the portions were just right for sampling a variety of dishes. The wine menu was extensive and we especially appreciated the local produce focus of the menu.

This was our third visit to Rabbit, though the most recent earlier one was before Covid. In the interval, they have added some kind of roaster which achieves brilliant results. We had as fine a meal as we have had in recent memory. Our starters were a version of a salmon crudo (which the menu called trout tartare). I have no idea what kind of trout it was, and know that some are indeed red-fleshed, but whatever it was, this tasted like salmon with herbs and something a little crunchy and was delicious. Our other starter was beets with goat cheese and fennel, less distinctive but totally pleasant. We shared both starters as we did all the courses. Our entrees were roast venison with what looked like trumpet mushrooms, and roast duck with blackberry sauce what looked liked a grilled red leaf endive. Both were amazingly good; the venison was the best I have ever had (this was moist and flavorful, when this meat is too often dry). A "set pudding" (like panna cotta) finished our meal and was both pleasant and not overly sweet. We also fully enjoyed a carafe of an excellent Rhone red. I can't say enough good things about this dining experience. It was utterly perfect, and I can't remember when I last said that about a restaurant, if ever.

Booked a table for 7.30 and got thrown out at 9. They had sent a. Email saying 9.30. Objectionable tall waitress from the beginning. No one took our order until we called them. Had to call every time we wanted anything no salt and pepper on the table incredibly noisy. Food was ok though just not a very enjoyable experience

Great staff . Good atmosphere and the food amazing . One of the best culinary experiences that I have to recommend to others

We have gone to this restaurant for years and the food has always been good, until recently. The first time we noticed a difference was during their Sunday roast. As this wasn’t the usual menu we thought that it was an exception. But today we tried went there again and the bread had changed for the worse, before it was darker and a lot more flavourful now it is a standard white loaf, the starter was good, we had the venison croquettes and marrow tempura and as a main the pork loin, it was dry, we had trouble getting through the meat with a stake knife. It was such a disappointment as it sounded delicious on the menu. It is such a nice restaurant so I hope that this is temporary, apart from that the service was really good. But the bill for the lunch set menu came to a total of approx £85 (for three people ) which it wasn’t worth.

The food was fine, nothing spectacular. We shared the sea bass and the cauliflower - both were decent but didn't blow our socks off. Same with the ravioli starter. The vanilla cream dessert on the other hand was delicious. Service was also fine - attentive and polite.

Second time at rabbit Fantastic service and food Great value for this standard of food Thankyou

Charismatic waiter was enthusiastic and you could tell loved the product. Great help with the process and recommendations. We were not drinking, but the white wine selection from their own vineyard looked great. Food was perfectly cooked and seasoned. Love sharing plates. You get to taste so much more

Food was excellent and Orlita was amazing!

Orlita was great!! Food was tasty and the atmosphere was welcoming.

This restaurant was absolutely incredible. From the second we walked in the door, Orlita was amazing. Fabulous service, recommendations, and food. Highly recommend to anyone in the area. Ask for Orlita, you will not be disappointed.

Amazing food! Orlita was amazing. Can’t wait to be back. ❤️

Delicious Sunday roast in a charming little spot. Wonderful service from Orlita.

Amazing warm atmosphere, and a fantastic Sunday roast.

My new favourite restaurant. Loved the food, the concept ( seasonal,local, delicious produce) and the attentive service with a relaxed , rustic vibe. Fabulous, a real gem.

My dinner last night at Rabbit was extraordinary especially the service by Orlita. Orlita managed a large number of orders with efficiency, accuracy, graciousness, and helpfulness. Highly recommended.

We had a large group of 9 for a birthday dinner. The service was fabulous , the food divine- had the Sunday Roast! Excellent! Orlita and staff could not have been more attentive. Would definitely come back!! Maren

Very special place with super helpful welcoming staff - especially Mirobelle who made our evening special- with the last special touch where she gave us little bit of your garlic butter spread to take home ( that was very emotional as I mentioned to her it reminds me my childhood and my home )

Wonderful service and very delicious! Thank you!

We had a lovely lunch at Rabbit this week. We order the sea bass, cauliflower and Hispi cabbage all cooked on the rabata grill and using seasonal ingredients which was a great touch. I should add that the restaurant has been recently renovated and has a great ambience. Service was fantastic as always and a huge thank you to Guste and Joao for the hospitality.

I’ll start by saying I leave a lot of reviews and not many bad one (look at my record). I think going viral and getting traffic from a YouTube video has gotten to this business. We had a 12pm booking for 3 with a baby. We arrived at 11.58 while it was raining and asked if we could come in. No eye contact was made the door was closed and we were told they open at 12. No problem we’ll go walk in the rain when we could have just come in and waited for you to open. The rude person at the door has absolutely no customer service skills. We came back and he was on his laptop at 12.10(didn’t want to come too early). I told my wife let’s go spend our money elsewhere. Really disappointed because we actually were over from Australia.

Came by the Rabbit for Sunday lunch for my birthday with my partner and had an absolutely amazing time. Staff were friendly and the food was fantastic! Would highly recommend!

Good vibe and service, but bad food, making the price unreasonable. I ordered the Sunday roast, the beef looks soft but not chewing friendly, the chicken got cooked as hard as wood. £40 pp.

Best service ever. Special thanks to Joao

Amazing service, great food and overall a lovely spot for dinner!

Eaten here twice recently, both the food and service are excellent. Highly recommended

Had a wonderful meal - our party loved the restaurant…from the decor to the menu choices. Ola took great care to be sure we knew the best menu experience. The dishes were unique, fresh and it was wonderful to be able to enjoy the meal and hear conversation without straining over loud music. Cheers to Ola and Jordan for their care and kindness. 😊

Rabbit was a great place to celebrate our engagement! The service was very friendly, and Orlita helped make our evening even more special. Everything was locally sourced, and the chef made great use of the ingredients. We would particularly recommend the Pork Skewers, Baked Potatoes, the Bass, the Locco salad, and the Chocolate Mouse!!!

Each dish was seasonal, perfectly cooked and very tasty. The restaurant - cosy, light and service excellent.

Everything I ordered was delicious, and the server was very friendly. The other staff were also very friendly. It was my last meal in London, and it was a really pleasant meal. Don't go anywhere else for a Sunday roast, eat it here.

Very nice place. Friendly and very kind service. Food a little scarce, but refined.

We entered the restaurant at the end of lunch when it was empty. Yet, I felt uncomfortable being shown to a table in the middle of an uncomfortable floor. If you are in a rickety restaurant, ask your guests what they prefer at their table. I didn't feel like eating much and oohed and ahhed over a few dishes, but the taste was average and the price was high. Good, I was right not to order a lot. I didn't feel particularly inclined to come back.

Nice environment for a family and friends dinner. Food and service on point. Would recommend highly.

This was a very cozy little restaurant with an exciting menu that offered classic favourites with a little twist. We ate fairly late in the evening, and they were very accommodating. Every dish was a hit - I don't usually like marmite, but the marmite éclair was surprisingly good! The homemade wild yeast bread and fig leaf butter were melt in mouth delicious. Highly recommend the lamb and the beef flank, which were divinely cooked. Our server was lovely and made very good recommendations!

I would like to thank you for not only the food, but also the atmosphere and customer service, and for being so kind and friendly to children. I would definitely like to visit again when I go to England.

We had very tasty dishes. The capercaillie was very tender and the pork belly was very tasty. The ambience is nice and the atmosphere is relaxed. We liked it a lot

Cosy restaurant, great for date night or intimate dinner with friends. Modern European menu with great twist and Michelin guide vibes. The dishes are creative while the presentation is great! The quality is super and the service is excellent. Definitely worth the try.

Lovely! Sunday roast was super tasty and hearty. Bloody Mary was freshest I've ever had. Will absolutely be back.

We had really nice experience at the rabbit! We came for sunday roast which was delicious! Service was very attentive and friendly! They really made our lunch special. Hope you get served by Max and Joao. Thanks guys, will be back!

Exceptional food and service. All the staff members were wonderful to us and went above and beyond. Sadly, watched them dealing with some rude customers, but they did so professionally and politely. Can’t wait to return to this place.

Nice environment for a family and friends meal. Reasonably priced. Food was tasty and service was excellent. Our waiter was friendly, charming and very helpful. Definitely recommend it.

Amazing food, great service from Joao! Will definitely return

席はKings Road側に取った方が可愛くて素敵です。奥のスペースは広いですが、アメリカンダイニングのような感じ。食事はまあまあですが、もう少し味にベースがあった方がいいかな？と思いました。サービスはとてもよく、ワインを選ぶのに色々アドバイスしてくれました。

Delicious food in a unique restaurant in Chelsea

Great food and the lovely server Rickia was very helpful.

Decent food but decidedly poor service, nice place if not for the animal heads hanging on the walls. The bill was too expensive even for Chelsea.

A def farm to table gem! Their cheerful spirit and seriousness towards food show throughout

Rickia was the best server we have experienced in London as visitors 🤗 🥳🥳🥳

Such a great experience! Kickia was a fantastic hostess and was very accomodating and attentive. The shared sirloin steak was the highlight with those crispy potatoes. See you next time.

Cozy and good vibe, but the food was a bit small

We went for the Sunday Roast and it was surprising. We love it.

Excellent food and cocktails, and great service!

We had a lovely meal! The food was amazing and the service was perfect! Rickia was excellent!

Lovely service and atmosphere. The Sunday Roast is very good (we missed the parsnips tho), very well cooked, good size portion and of the beast potatoes we've had (incredibly crispy outside). +The Sea Bass is unbelievable good! -White Chocolate Tart is way too sweet

it was good but not great. Eclairs were yummy, potatoes were creative, croquettes were delish, but huge miss on the others- the sardines on toast, was a chewy old piece of bread, and the truffle pasta was tasteless, the gin special drink was pure sugar, and the white chocolate cake was also pure sugar, not complex enough. The steak was also very chewy. Very underwhelmed and mislead by the cute and charming vibe I spotted from the street. Great music and atmosphere though 10/10 ! Glad we went, but would not go back. :,(

Superb food. Brilliant attentive service.

Outstanding to say the least. The daily menu, with both flank beef and truffle & gorgonzola ravioli were one of the best meals I’ve had in a while. Loved this place and would recommend it to anyone who’s up for warm shakeup to their taste buds.

Great food and atmosphere at Rabbit. We tried their tasting menu and it did not disappoint - would highly recommend the restaurant and will be visiting again

Such a wonderful dining experience. All the food was incredible- highlights were the mushroom marmite eclairs, Cornish sardines and duck (which was so tender and flavourful). Service was also excellent as front of house were extremely attentive and friendly. Can’t recommend Rabbit enough- will be back soon!

We had a brilliant evening at Rabbit. Bradley was the perfect host with great knowledge of the menu and a cracking sense of humour. The food was all delicious, the best meal we’ve all had in a long time. The restaurant is lucky to have a talented chef team. A special thank you to the head chef Connor for the birthday surprise. We will definitely be back!

Been here multiple times and it’s always amazing. Food is so flavourful, delicious and fresh! Highly recommend!

They have vegetarian sunday roast but offered non-vegetarian gravy so do not recommend for vegetarians. Other food was good but terrible service. Although half of beef was fat and chicken was tiny. The worst was the service. All the staffs were kind of rude. They were trying to take the away the dishes while we were obviously not done with it. When I asked why the price of the food on the bill is different from the menu, the staff told me to pay £2 less without any apologies. All of our group were very unhappy with the service. It'll be my first and the last visit. I would recommend for those who wants to have expensive grilled carrots.

The best lunch in London. It is a healthy restaurant where you can enjoy the taste of nature without being expensive. It is best to eat a course meal for weekday lunch. I recommend visiting and seeing the Saatchi Gallery in the morning. The wine collection is also great. The butter is really delicious. It's not a bad review, but it's so delicious, so I'll just go.

Great lunch. Particularly enjoyed the sardines on charcoal bread. Their Nutbourne Sussex Reserve white wine is excellent. Friendly service.

Was excited to try this place for Sunday lunch given all the good reviews and the interior aesthetic. However, we were very disappointed by terrible service (staff looked like they were actively trying to ignore customers that were attempting to get their attention) and very average food. There was a lack of seasoning on the Sunday roast, so pretty much every table was asking for more gravy just to give it some flavour. Watch out for the whopping 13.5% service charge. Totally undeserved here.

Only stars are here for the cooks, the atmosphere, and for the maybe one person who knew what he was doing on the floor. This place is terribly let down by the wait staff. It took over 20 minutes to even get water that we had to ask for more than once. Many things were not available on the menu, but we were not told until we ordered them. Then 15 minutes later told there was only one of an ordered item and someone would have to change their order. I was told a cocktail on the small cocktail list was not available but then, after 20 minutes waiting for wine we ordered, was told they could make the cocktail. (Gimlet, which is quite standard for any bar.) Then I had my order 15 minutes later than the others. Orders were forgotten, reminded by us, forgotten again. We were given different information about nearly everything we ordered on the menu, the table was only half cleared, glasses, plates and cutlery were constantly dropped and knocked over. Not one part of this process was smooth. Before it was even late, and before we even started our mains (which was all delayed of course due to the malarkey mentioned above, the lights went bright, then less bright then bright then less. We had our mains in a brightly-lit room for reasons unknown, other than perhaps they wanted us to eat quickly? The food and the roast is lovely. It’s too bad, I cannot bring myself to return.

Chelsea flower show weekend and what a great choice of places to eat. Local fantastic food and drink. Really well thought out menu and great service too

Overall a very poor experience. Had to pay for booking, not really sure why because it was very quiet. Had to pay 13.5% for service, again not sure why because there was literally no service at all. Staff were constantly swearing nearby, staff were unenthusiastic and unmotivated. Sunday roast was average at best. Portions were small considering the price. The only real selling point was the sustainability and local aspect. Wouldn’t visit again. The area was nice though.

Thoroughly enjoyed dinner here with friends and family. Inventive dishes, good value wine, friendly service, allergies catered for.

We saw the Michelin sign so reserved for our anniversary with my husband. I don’t know if it was because we expected too much, but we left there with a lot of disappointment. The price was okay considering its location, but the food quality was nothing more than big food chain to be honest. Every dish we had was with uncomfortable mixture of cold and warm temperature, and not enough seasoning / salt. We could bot even figure out how these dishes are supposed to be. We didn’t even feel like trying dessert and when I paid the bill the staff was quite rude which made us even worse.

delicious food and great atmosphere! highly recommend.

Came here for a special dinner for my mother in laws birthday, we had a nice table in the window service was decent although having to get up and find my own salt and pepper but the food was just ok for the price. Very expensive for such small portions, we paid £25 for two sides of asparagus and in total there were only 8 spears, 4 on each plate they were tiny... TWENTY FIVE POUNDS for 8 spears of asparagus is totally insane. I had the stonebass fish which was rather bland and luke warm, again, also a small portion. Slightly disappointed, had the portions been bigger it might of made up for the lack of flavour, at least would of had a full stomach.

Rickia was serving us and she was so lovely and friendly

Food was delicious, Rickia was absolutely lovely, looked after us all night and made us feel very comfortable!

A very relaxed an enjoyable lunch. The food was delicious, the use of seasonal, local produce and the available selection of dishes was great. I'm gluten intolerant and this was easily accommodated within the menu.

We had wonderful evening. Great atmosphere, great staff, highly attentive knowledgeable and friendly. The food was excellent. The restaurant full filled our highest expectations.

I love the Rabbit vibe! The food is beautifully prepared, service has a personal touch and it’s small and cosy on the busy King’s Road. Already booked my next dinner in August!

To say I had a biblical experience would be an understatement. The food, ambience, waiters, music were all incredible!! I have not found such fresh and delicious food anywhere else but here, with such incredible quality. The ability to make marmite eclair taste so insanely good is Oscar worthy. Yes the prices may be slightly high but all is worth it! I’d like to thanks the lovely waiters for the incredible service which only helped boost the memorable experience me and my mother had here today. I will be recommending to everyone I know.

Their Sunday Roast is a must-have while in London. The beef and chicken were phenomenal. The potatoes, carrots, and pudding were amazing accompaniments to the roasts. The only downside to the entire experience was a group that decided the entire restaurant needed to be disrupted by their party. Loud obnoxious British that wanted to talk about their summer manors and other rubbish.

Really overpriced horrible food. Took prawns, and few other starters, pasta and beef and everything tasted pretty bad. Bread was old, pasta overcooked, beef chewy and overall very poor meal unfortunately. Waiter was very lovely though that’s the only thing.

Very disappointing. From reading people’s reviews I thought if nothing else, we would have great service… we had the most basic, impersonal service imaginable, the serving staff barely looked us in the eye or bothered engaging in conversation. The food was not awful but not worth the money at all. The courgette flower tempura was really delicious but our other starter of roasted tomatoes lacked seasoning, and our main course of steak was not rested properly and therefore very chewy and bled all over the plate. Not sure if we just went on an off day, but wouldn’t recommend!

I have walked past Rabbit a hundred times and always wanted to go. Finally went yesterday and had the tasting menu, which was excellent. The place was completely full, great atmosphere, and the open kitchen was great.

Been twice, 8 years apart, and the food is always so tasty!

Restaurant has a very rustic and homely atmosphere. Focused on sustainability (farm to table) in its ingredients. Taste was good. The only downside was the table given is at a cramp corner.

Everything was delicious. The beef, potato, and asparagus were perfectly harmonious and flavorful. We had the ravioli as a starter, but it’s also great on its own. The tomato and burrata weren’t particularly special, so I wouldn’t recommend them. However, the goat cheese tartine was excellent on its own.

Best Sunday roast we’ve had in a long time. Would have loved to try one of the desserts, but there was no room! Compliments to the chef and the friendly staff. Definitely to be repeated.

Dry bread, greens not fresh, everything just below average. Neighbors didn't finish their food either. Asked for bill 3 times. Close to tourists trap.

High quality food, well planned menu with diversity but not overwhelming. Attentive and polite staff. Lovely , relaxed atmosphere for my solo lunch. Thanks!

Great meal, interesting and fun decor, excellent service, in a wonderful location. Will def be back.

We had an amazing Sunday today lunch here after having an equally great time at The Shed (sister restaurant) the night before. The food and the service were amazing!

I am not sure what went wrong yesterday, as I've been before and it was nice. But yesterday was simply embarrassing. There was no service. It took forever to get our drinks, then I had to go and find a waitress to take our order. We waited for 30 minutes to get 3 tiny plates, one of them was presented as a 'main'. I am familiar with the concept of this place, but charging 18 pounds for a thin slice of celeriac with 3 mushrooms?? That's just rude. There was a 13.5% charge for service for the non existing service we got. I was literally embarrassed in front of my colleague for choosing this place. Never coming back

Such lovely lovely people! Have been walking past here for work for quite a while and today I finally managed a visit. I sat at their single outdoor table on the King's Road and had the BEST couple of hours of relaxation and WONDERFUL food and drink. I knew it would be amazing but my already high expectations were exceeded. I just love this place.

Our first time at the Rabbit and it was amazing. We had friends and family in town and chose a new place. All 6 of us loved the food, the atmosphere and the staff. It has a lot of light and we loved the decor! We will be going back again soon!

Great restaurant. Fresh take on farm to table. Thoughtful menu. A piece of roasted chicken that has all the spices of pho. Genius. Never had potatoes prepped like that. Hummus was excellent. A fresh and rewarding gimlet.

What a gem of a place! Loved it and will be back

Amazing quality of food, not over complicated dishes in the best way letting the quality shine. Almost feels like the restaurant is attached to their farm even though it’s in the heart of London

Outstanding in every way. A fabulous lunch, a great ethos and a fantastic team. Without doubt, one of the best places to eat in London. I cannot recommend it highly enough.

Sunday lunch. The food was excellent, and the staff were pleasant and friendly. The starters were somewhat small, though that was fine given we were following with a Sunday Roast. Excellent selection of wines.

Excellent food especially steaks! The gazpacho was a little disappointing though
