When I think of the White Rabbit, I am automatically
thrown back into the world of Alice in Wonderland... I must have been quite
fond of the story as I named my childhood cat Dinah after one of the Liddell’s cats
(Caroll based the main character on Alice Liddell) and more recently named my
cat Villikens after their other cat. Anyway, I’ve been to the White Rabbit in
Brighton a number of times for family get-togethers and have found the food to
be delightful.
Are you ‘curiouser and curiouser’ about the menu? Well,
there is the ‘Brioche French Toast with banana and peanut butter ice-cream, pancetta
crisps, salted caramel peanuts and Canadian maple ($18.90)’ or the ‘Pork and Pistachio
Lyonnaise sausage, spicy beans, fresh herbs, poached eggs and pear relish
($18.90)’ for you to try.

The White Rabbit also has pizzas so we decided to split a
pizza between us. We went with the ‘Mixed mushrooms, ricotta, roast garlic,
rocket, and truffle oil ($19.50)’. I’ve had this before and really loved it but
this time it was nowhere near as pleasing. The pizza still had a lovely thin
base that I have enjoyed in the past but the astringent tomato sauce was very
overbearing. A bianca base would be a better carrier for these delicate
ingredients.

My dining companion ordered a latte ($3.50) and found it
to be alright, but not great.

The service was much better than I have experienced in
the past but I would probably try a different cafe along Church Street next
time I am in Brighton...
