Flavours to be savoured: The Rabbit

… or devoured? Authentic and undeniably fun, add this to your taste-test list.

Hailed for its fresh food, beautiful desserts, decadent cocktails and glamorous atmosphere, The Rabbit brings a new vibe to Canterbury’s restaurant scene. Located in Ashburton, guests come to enjoy luxe food and flavour and stay for the delectable desserts and unique cocktails.

Since opening one year ago, the restaurant has become a favourite amongst locals, while ample car parking makes it an ideal pitstop for travellers passing through town.

It is the perfect destination for a casual after-work drink or a long dinner celebrating life’s milestones in the restaurant’s private dining room.

Co-owner Amber Huang wanted the menu to reflect the region’s unique seasonality. “In New Zealand, we have four defined seasons, and we can bring that into the menu. We alter the menu to reflect the season, which means the menu is everchanging,” Amber says.

A recent customer left a glowing review about the grandeur of the restaurant’s interior and said her breath was taken away by the high calibre of the food and range of flavours. “The cocktails and desserts are like no other,” praised the reviewer.

A perfectly curated premise that oozes vibrant beauty, The Rabbit is the perfect place to catch up over lunch, unwind after a busy day, or step into the night with the glow of neon lights creating an energetic ambience.
