Wow. Just wow. Went for the Sunday roast menu- absolutely delish. The food came out out quickly and since we were sitting right next to the staging area, we saw the care that was out into making each plate. The food is wonderful, the philosophy ( sustainable food and giving to others)is appreciated!

A mix of high end and familiar comfort. The space is very intimate with limited seating. I went a few months ago for a solo dinner while in London. It wasn't too difficult to get a last minute reservation. I started with some bread, then had the chorizo and pork. It was definitely too much food for just one person but a nice journey of flavors. A great location situated near many Chelsea shops.

The worst dining experience! Avoid this restaurant! It took us one hour and 45 minutes to be reserved our Sunday Roast. When the Lyon Hill's Farm Beef Sirloin finally arrived it was so tough that it was impossible to cut, let alone eat! Avoid, avoid, avoid! So incredibly rare when you visit a well regarded (according to the other reviews) restaurant like this to experience bad service and bad food.

First off, it shouldn't be a shock that a Michelin restaurant on the Kings Road is serving fantastic food, so read this review as mere assurance that you're in for a wonderful experience.
We spent nearly 3 hours over lunch on Friday with the British Wild Food tasting menu...7 courses of the best farm to table British dishes in small plate form that you can find, anywhere. The mix of the expected and 'that shouldn't work, but wow, it sure does' will keep your taste buds impressed.
Be prepared for things like marmite eclairs, raw trout in a ceivche like preparation, scallops served on top of chorizo oil, succulent venison and a simply outstanding set of puddings. Everything on the menu is locally sourced, including the ales, gins and whiskey, so be ready to try something outside of your normal.
The staff is quite friendly, which makes up for the odd (and, at times, uncomfortable seating). You'll look past any deficiencies, though, when you realize the bill is far smaller than you expect, and the food is far better than your day.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Mar 30, 2022
Had a lovely dinner here to celebrate our last night in London last weekend. Made online reservations fairly easily and were quickly seated and brought beverages upon entry.
The menu is limited and features several roasts on Sundays with some small, inventive appetizers to taste as well. They have meat, fish, and veggie options to satisfy all tastes. Menu features locally available British meals and ingredients and fresh-made items. All my kind'a thing!
We chose a cheese plate and carrot hummus to start which were both delicious. Really enjoyed the fresh pear chutney with our three selection of cheeses and crackers. The carrot hummus was light and sweet served with some thin crackers for dipping.
We chose to split the fish roast of the night, halibut, with fresh veggies and bread pudding. Very good.
We chose to go elsewhere for dessert and coffee after our meal.
Service was very polite and the pace of the meal was good. We asked for one of the amuse bouche dishes available for the night and found they were sold out, to make amends, our server provided us with another suggestion to try, free of charge. How nice!
Our meal was light and fresh and delicious and the atmosphere inside is air-y and earthy with interesting wood/earth decorations.Helpful 4Thanks 0Love this 3Oh no 1 - 44312141653Mar 9, 2022
Stumbled upon here while in the area and was so glad we did because the food here is absolutely amazing. In London, you really cannot guarantee the quality of a randomly chosen restaurant, even at fine dining places like this one, but Rabbit is really something else. Was seated promptly without a reservation, what a treat!
- Whipped Cod Roe, Seaweed Tapioca, English Caviar - Think smoked salmon whipped with seaweed crackers. It was honestly so delicious, as small as it was, and it was so interesting because the smokiness of the salmon was not overbearing and contrasted well with the seaweed.
- Monkfish Cheek Goujons, Tartar Sauce, Tarragon Oil - The monkfish here is delicious, the breading almost gives me elevated McDonalds chicken nugget breading vibes. The quality of the fish was amazing, I really appreciated its flakiness, and went well with the chunky tartare sauce which had these delightful "fruits" in it which I couldn't quite name or pinpoint.
- Tranche of Halibut, King January Cabbage, Tarragon Butter Sauce - The ingredients here in general are incredibly fresh and all are of very good quality. The sauce here is incredible and definitely elevated the dish, pairs extremely well with the cabbage. The halibut was very tender but there were still bones in it, so be mindful of that.
- Salted Caramel Chocolate Torte, Whipped Mascarpone - The chocolate torte itself was okay but with the mascarpone, the dish elevated with its perfect balance of sweet and salinity/cheesiness. I feel like you could skip this dessert though. I wasn't the biggest fan of the decomposed marmalade which was just orange chunks.
Overall, fantastic meal at Rabbit. Honestly, cannot wait to come back again to try their lunch special/other a la carte options. Also, the fact that it was on the Michelin Guide just makes it even better although I do feel like they deserve at least a star for this meal.Helpful 2Thanks 0Love this 2Oh no 0 - Brian M.London, United Kingdom5133515Aug 14, 2021
British ingredients. Seasonal, high quality cooking. Family run. And all at very reasonable pricing, especially by Chelsea/Kings Road standards.
I don't recommend places much these days but it's clear Rabbit deserves more attention. King's Road is in danger of becoming a sea of restaurants more focused on pretentiousness, facilitating good Instagram pictures than the actual food. Rabbit makes food that is both beautiful and packed with real cooking talent.
As for specifics what I enjoyed may be off menu by the time you read this as they do cook seasonally but the mushroom marmite eclair, an aubergine entree and wild boar tagliolini were highlights. The only slight miss for me was a "Sussex chorizo" but not to say it was bad. I've been spoilt by great chorizo in the US.
As for drinks don't scoff the West Sussex Nutbourne sparkling wine, or any on the list. Ours was a light 10% ABV rose with cloudy bubbles perfect across the menu.

We had a lovely dinner here for my wife's 62nd bday and enjoyed ourselves immensely. Very small space, but they make the most of it. Very creative menu, which constantly changes. Did not see any other tourists in here, but it was jam packed by 7 pm. Sarah was our initial waitress and she explained everything quite well. Throughout the evening, we were visited by different wait staff, but we never lacked for anything. At the end of the evening, the staff sang HBD to my wife and it was quite nice. We would like to visit the other restaurants run by this same ownership group!

Really welcoming staff, good recommendations for wine. Had the catch of the day, which was a bristle. The Sussex reserve from Nutbourne Vineyards. The cheesecake with blueberries and a macchiato for dessert. Bread a little dry, but good butter.
