Rabbit Rabbit

The name Rabbit Rabbit suggests a playful journey, an invitation to fall down the rabbit hole into a world of whimsy and wonder. This intimate Victoria wine bar delivers on that promise with a thoughtfully designed space where storybook colors and moody lighting create a transportive setting. The approachability of the room offers a dynamic counterpoint to a kitchen that operates with serious precision, turning a visit into an exploration of unexpected flavor combinations and technical skill.

The food is built on a foundation of French technique but draws inspiration from a broad spectrum of Asian ingredients, reflecting a blend of British and Chinese-Vietnamese roots. This culinary identity has been expressed through dishes that re-imagine comfort food with unconventional twists. The kitchen has become known for creations like a lasagna featuring a gochujang bolognese and pork dumplings served in a sake cream sauce with fermented mustard greens. While the offerings change with the seasons, recurring elements like scallion milk buns or charred romaine with miso almond vinaigrette underscore a commitment to bold, layered flavors.

As a wine bar, Rabbit Rabbit places a strong emphasis on what’s in the glass. The selection is driven by curiosity, focusing on small, sustainable producers from around the world. Rather than pretense, the goal is to offer a friendly list that encourages discovery, with staff who guide guests through a variety of terroir-driven bottles. This philosophy extends to the entire mood of the place, which aims to feel less like a formal restaurant and more like a dinner party hosted by a knowledgeable friend. It is a small, considered space where every detail, from the art to the service, contributes to a singular vision.
