Black Rabbit Kitchen

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ An unforgettable dining experience! We absolutely loved the family-style dining experience — it’s so much better being able to order exactly what you want without worrying about what sides come with your meal. The staff were incredibly knowledgeable. I always trust the servers’ recommendations to help shape the dining experience, and they absolutely knocked it out of the park this time. Our favorite dish was the chopped salad — an outstanding complement to the carrots and parsnips. The bright, balanced acidity of the salad paired perfectly with the roasted vegetables (we’re still talking about it!). The mushrooms, fried in a light gluten-free breading, were perfectly crisp and absolutely delicious. We also highly recommend the Agnolotti Doppio — a melt-in-your-mouth pasta that’s perfect for sharing. For dessert, we had the brownie, which featured seaweed mixed into dark chocolate chunks — such a creative and surprisingly tasty twist! Everything was phenomenal. We can’t recommend this place enough! The staff mentioned the menu changes seasonally — this was our fall 2025 visit — so if you want to try any of these dishes, go soon!

Loved the gluten free menu, all the options and the tapas atmosphere

I have nothing but praise for black rabbit especially as someone with coeliac! I cannot stress enough how safe I felt eating at this restaurant and the food was nothing short of phenomenal and worth every penny. Big shoutout to the hardworking staff that ensured an amazing dining experience! I can’t wait to return next time I am in Nanaimo.
