Rabbit Room<\/strong>,<\/strong> tucked away in the charming and peaceful San Antonio Village<\/strong>, stands as a hole-in-the-wall restaurant where you can find Chefs John Ty and Raphael Cristobal<\/strong> work their magic in creating culinary masterpieces that capture the essence of both Italian and Filipino cuisines.<\/p>\n

Unlike most restaurants in the Metro, Rabbit Room explores the Filipino cuisine that traverses the entire archipelago from Luzon to Mindanao. Dishes like the Pendatun Chicken with Adlai Fry<\/strong> give a nod to the Mindanao dish, Piyanggang, cooked in coconut milk, turmeric, coconut ash, and lemon grass.<\/p>\n

Their Talong Kulawo<\/strong>, a vegetarian dish made of roasted eggplant and burnt coconut cream, is also something you would not usually find in restaurants in Makati, making Rabbit Room a go-to for many who are craving for something deliciously Filipino. Partner this dish with rice for a more filling treat!<\/p>\n

For the Italian side of their menu, Rabbit Room also uses Filipino ingredients to recreate Italian classics like carbonara<\/strong>. At Rabbit Room, they use etag<\/strong> <\/em>or smoked pork, famous in the Cordillera, to add a richer flavor to your all-time favorite Italian pasta dish!<\/p>\n

The adventure does not stop there as Rabbit Room introduces the unexpected star of the show: rabbit! But it is not exactly the kind you see often with its fluffy ears and tail. Rabbit Room uses hare, a mammal that resembles rabbits but usually bigger and often used for cooking.<\/p>\n

Their menu boasts audacious rabbit delights such as Rabbit Ragout with Brioche Rolls<\/strong> made of rabbit loin and braised in their in-house Passato. According to Chef Raphael, this appetizer is recommended for those who are curious to try rabbit for the first time.<\/p>\n

From time to time, Rabbit Room also adds various dishes to their Filipino menu such as Kilawin<\/strong> which resembles ceviche, featuring tanigue or Spanish mackerel. Another must-try is their Binaki<\/strong> or the sweet corn “tamales” of Bukidnon.<\/p>\n
