About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Innovative
  • Neighbourhood gem
Reservations are open for dinner only, lunch is walk ins only.

What’s in the name you ask? We don’t really know, other than the fact that it has a good ring to it.

Nothing really about this place makes much sense. Are we a butcher shop or a restaurant? Are we a butcher shop inside of a restaurant? Or a restaurant inside of a butcher shop?

In our spare time we like to build fires and cook food over wood, you can hire us to do that. We make all of our own charcuterie in house, and we’re determined to get better at that everyday.

How do two concepts operate together in harmony? We don’t really know yet, but we will work at it ‘til it’s seamless. One thing we do know, all of the meat served and sold between these four walls is strictly derived from whole animals butchered in-house, sourced from happy places.

    The entire dining experience was great from start to finish! Our waiter was very very knowledgeable and helped us order exactly what we wanted. The wine was great as was the dirty martini. We got a bunch of things to split and then ended with the sticky pudding which is a must! 10/10 would recommend. One of the best meals I’ve had!

    Food was amazing, and the experience was great. Would recommend to anyone who wants to have a nice date night. Be prepared to spend a couple hundred dollars.

    Very disappointed right from arrival. Found the service lacking, and meal very disappointing. Steak was tough and definitely not the top grade as we expected. Food arrived cold to the table. The veggie portions were extremely small but had good flavour. However when considered in light of the price once again disappointing. Won’t consider going back. Have no idea how it received a Michelin rating.

    Although the food was very tasty the sides were not shareable for four people and very expensive. We chose the Asparagus for $24 and there may have been about 8 spears on the plate. We also chose the Tempura mushrooms, of which there were four on the plate, some bigger than others, one each $23. We chose the sirloin and the Denver cut steaks, both very good but I left there hungry. For four people you probably need four vegetable plates and 3 steaks. If you are adding cocktails for four people you are looking at over $300. I can go to my local butcher and get a prime steak for $50.

    My experience at Fat Rabbit far exceeded my expectations. I loved absolutely everything about the unassuming location, unpretentious vibe of the restaurant and staff, delicious cocktails, appetizers, casual yet well executed meal, the preparation behind the scenes (I was fortunate enough to be seated at the chef’s counter - my favourite spot in any restaurant). I can’t wait to return to Fat Rabbit.

    We shared a variety of the 'small plates' from snow crab and calamari to tartare and vegetables. The only dish that disappointed was the 'tartare': the taste of raw beef was completely absent, smothered by a tangy tomato-based sauce. That's not what I order tartare for! Otherwise, the service was excellent, the noise level a little high, and the seating not very comfortable (but that's not going to change). With no wine or cocktails, only water, the meal came to over $100.00 per person with a 20% tip. Not exactly a bargain, but not unreasonable given the quality of the ingredients.
