White Rabbit is a warm friendly place to catch up with family & friends over a long lunch or relaxed breakfast or tasty dinner. The menu is interesting and offers plenty of choice. The food is lovely especially the breakfast burrito. You can snack on great pizzas or enjoy pasta or steak. Great anytime. Good coffee too.
There's a reason all the Brighton locals come here for coffee and breakfast every morning - the coffee is up there as the best in Melbourne, the staff are always so welcoming and friendly, and you are spoiled with nothing but good food on the menu...

amazing place to eat in Brighton. i have had beef cheek raggu with pasta for my lunch and it was absolutely to die for. And for the icing on the cake, the staff is really welcoming and adorable.
Love this place!
Staff are fun, friendly & extremely charismatic. Fantastic coffee, fast service & a great vibe. A lot of regulars being warmly welcomed & many laughs with the staff.
Looking forward to going back for a meal as the menu sounds delicious.
Well done White Rabbit, a new & very happy customer! ���
Very kind and caring staff members. I went to get a takeaway coffee and Chai this morning. I didn't get 20m out of the cafe when I dropped my chai on the ground. I went back and feeling rather foolish, I explained what happened and ordered another. The beautiful staff members were so lovely, they made me another for free! #feelingthelove #thankyou #sograteful #greatbrandslookaftercustomers #alittlegoesalongway
Whenever we are in Brighton our favorite place is the White Rabbit love the food the service the atmosphere its well worth going there ����
Visiting Brighton, I happened across a cafe called White Rabbit... so down the rabbit hole I went ...& I'm pleased I did. Breakfast was great & the service was stellar. I got the really nice warm feeling when you find a gem! Thank you. Cheers Steve

As always we had a fantastic meal and service. Love the new outdoor furniture.
Went there to celebrate my nanas 100th birthday. Very special day and was made more special, by staff and customer service. Above and beyond. Thank you guys for making our day even more special.

We love love love this place. Awesome service & food!
Staff have great sense of humour and the meals were superb! We come over from New Zealand and would definitely come back when we are over again.
Très sympa. J'ai adore l'accueil, le service et une cuisine simple et savoureuse. Je recommande d'y faire un tour.
Lovely team hosted the going away of one of my athletes leaving for London. Despite the challenges of dealing with a group of starving pole vaulters the team were fantastic! Great food, great service and good beer too!
Loved White Rabbit. George and the family really take care of their customers and the food is fantastic.
Excellent food and great cheerie service :)
I always enjoy my time at the White Rabbit. Visited from Perth to see my mum
We had the soup and seafood pasta from the special board. Great feed very friendly staff
Superb. Fantastic atmosphere, food is fresh and just delicious. Staff fantastic with the kids. Cheers to all staff at "White Rabbit"
Amazing customer service and fantastic food loved it
Love , love this place. Just moved to the local area and White Rabbit has it all - great food, fabulous service, atmosphere and people. Highly recommended:-)
Great food every time, coffee is amongst the best in Melbourne and the service is always friendly and prompt. Do yourselves a favour Peeps and check out White Rabbit.
Five star food and service. Thanks for a great night George.
I reaĺly like this place. Great food, coffee and lovely people.
What we ordered:
Steak with chips and salad
Mushroom pizza
Calamari
Bottle of red wine
We decided to celebrate a work thing with steak and always wanted to go to the White Rabbit. How happy I was that we went there! I ordered my steak medium-rare leaning more towards rare. When it arrived the steak was medium-done and I was nervous about requesting to send it back. The waiting staff was so friendly about and didn’t make me feel bad about it at all. Then another managing staff came over to our table to explain when my new steak would arrive. The new steak was perfectly cooked, which accompanied the mushroom pizza and calamari. Great food and excellent customer service!
Have dined here three times when in Brighton. It has a relaxed atmosphere, lovely food, reasonably priced and friendly staff. Especially Paul, he's a character and an excellent host. Made a birthday meal special.

The ambience: Warm , rustic and inviting .
You feel right at home in this luxe rustic interior style café especially cozying up near the fireplace with friends or your date .
Always greeted by the warm and upbeat staff – the coffee is excellent and prepared quickly great for those takeaway brews.
The service is professional and prompt , with flavorful dishes on the menu – each done with a twist and to the best quality.
Pepperoni pizza lovers MUST try the sopressa pizza , moreish and true Italian base style. The burgers are tasty and generous in serving made with fresh ingredients that wont leave you feeling gluggy.
For salad opters , the Lemon Pepper Calamari salad is highly recommended for its crisp batter and flavor packed seasoning (lemon pepper but so much more than the regular style) .
This café is an absolute delight, on a cold rainy day OR dine alfresco on the busy church street on a hot summer’s day – either way the food will not disappoint and you shall leave your dining experience with a happy glow
Situated right near middle Brighton station, this place is always buzzing with people and I love dining here.
I’ve eaten here on many seperate occasions and they offer a very yummy and likeable menu to appease all appetites!
This image was captured in summer just enjoying a delightful warm day outside. Next time I’ll try and capture some food for you!
Ordered a pizza from Uber eats. Was pretty nice but the cheese was really hard, I don’t know if it was over cooked or just cold. I would order it again if I was in the restaurant and not through Uber eats!
Tasty sandwiches for lunch. Came here at around 12 on Monday(Labour Day), was very glad to have booked a table as it was absolutely packed. Service were very attentive and were very kind about changing over one of dishes which had some ingredients we asked to be taken out which weren’t. The breakfast slider was a clear standout for me. I do have to say the blue heaven milkshake was not particularly strong. Overall a very nice meal.
This place is great. We had a really nice seat at a table outside enjoying the summer warmth. We ordered the zucchini and corn fritters and haloumi and shrimp plate. Unfortunately I didn’t get a photo because we started eating too quickly...it was too delicious to wait.
The customer service was really good as well. We had water and where we’ll attended to well and food came in a timely manner. The inside is really charming and welcoming. I highly recommend this place.
Went here with a friend last weekend after spending the afternoon at the beach. We shared a caesar salad and the calamari, and both were so good! Service was friendly, and it's a great place to sit outside and people-watch. We could tell that many customers come regularly, which is a nice atmosphere to be around! Would definitely come again!
Came here for the Irish breakfast because I love most forms of blood sausage, including black pudding. Wasn't disappointed.
My fiancee ordered the beef hash, and that itself was tasty, though we thought the highlight was the mayo they used in that dish. Can't think of a tastier mayo!
The coffee was wonderful, service was quick and friendly. Can't find anything to complain about.
Great dinner here with friends!
The saganaki and garlic and cheese pizza were delicious starters. Two of us had the mushroom risotto which is the best risotto I’ve ever eaten at a restaurant. The two others had a pizza and a lamb salad- everyone was happy with their food. Service was attentive and we were not without a drink throughout the night.
Went here for a friends birthday. Big meals that will fill you up. Very delicious food. And staff are very polite and attentive. It’s a restaurant you would go to if you only want one meal.
Originally a bank, White Rabbit has a great atmosphere. They describe themselves as a Mediterranean inspired restaurant and are open seven days a week for breakfast, lunch and dinner. We enjoyed our choice of both dishes also the wine and we found the service friendly.
Came here for a staff lunch on a Friday and enjoyed some nice entrees and the seafood linguini for my main. I really liked how the seafood was fresh, especially the mussels which held good flavour. Also a good amount of seafood was used in the dish and the price did reflect this at $32 a serving. The french martini was gently sweet and pleasant to drink.
The food is delicious. Milkshakes are very liquid, I prefer them thicker. The staff is very kind and friendly. Gluten free options available
Scrumptious dinner for us after visited Brighton beach. Risotto, pizza and seafood linguini were delicious and definitely will go back again. Prominent location as same row with woolies supermarket.
really good food, generous portion, good ambience, variety of food in the menu with lots of choices.
I have not tried the breakfast yet, but should be good.
Find a new spot to grab my first coffee of the day with no fuss. $4 for a large cappuccino, how does that sound? This cosy place is called “White rabbit”, located next to the Middle Brighton train track and only 2 minutes walk from the station. Anyway, this is not the only reason why I have positive comments on this place, and you all know I am normally quite a critic when it comes to my moments on the lips.
A good place to eat
Food is delicious
Generous portions with yummy flavours
Staff are welcoming, friendly and nothing is a problem
I ate the Royale.....
Just delicious
Good coffee
Pancakes were massive and the brownie with butterscotch sauce and berries was to die for
Will definitely be back again
My new favourite bayside cafe
❤️❤️
Walked into white rabbit by chance...they were able to cater for 20 people within 10 mins .food was great!!! Service was fantastic .woll definitely come back here thank you for everything
Went there for brunch but I got recommended to try the pizza as well which amazing . Delicious food and very nice service .highly recommended
Service is very friendly and warm. Family run feel to the place. Pizzas were delicious and priced just right! We will DEFINITELY be coming back!
We had the calamari and prawn pizza, and eggs benedict. Both were delicious. They serve breakfast all the way to 4pm! Coffee is not listed on the menu so we had to order a mocha without knowing how much it cost. It was good though.. chocolatey.
The White Rabbit, come on in, sit by the log fire and enjoy a little pizza or pasta and some lovely, friendly service. The menu is a pleasant mix of comforting food on a Winters night, rich ragu pasta, hearty risottos and perfect thin crust pizzas. Our margerita to share to start with was met with happy grins from the pizza addicts. Great base, holding it’s own even though it seems impossible when so thin. Not too much, not too little tomato sauce and gooey melted mozzarella and fresh basil LOVE LOVE LOVE!!!
Great place that has a wide menu selection and does those dishes well. I personally just go there for the pizzas but they have something for everyone
have been here twice and had both a pizza and the gnocchi. The gnocchi was absolutely divine, probably one of the best pasta dishes I've had! the staff are super friendly too and it's a great location.
Have been coming here for years & the service is always consistently great. The Pizzas are delicious with the added bonus of watching the Pizza Chef cooking the Pizzas in the wood fired oven. This particular night the Lamb Ribs & Falafel were divine. Looking forward to my next dinner there!
Nice looking place with a good street side seats to soak up the atmosphere on Church St on a nice morning. Coffee was solid. Would head back again for sure
Very decent had a number of meals here, I've had the garlic pizza, both types of their chips fat and thin, both wraps they offer, a meat ball and falafel and today I had the chicken pide. I was extremely impressed with the service always nice waiters there. I shared this with my girlfriend and instead of giving just an extra plate they brought it already cut in half and on separate plates each with salad!
The coffee is always nice, I've never sat inside always outside on the big tables!
Bit annoying with the train noise from the boom gates yet kind of cool at the same time!
Our local hangout has outdone themselves with this delicious veggie burger. From presentation to flavour it's hard for this number to not stand out. Friendly staff and prompt service. It's a yes from me ✔️
Great atmosphere with excellent, friendly service. Prices are a tad high however food is excellent. Menu is broad and diverse with a great selection. Coffee is also excellent. Highly recommended.
Pleasantly surprised by this bistro/bar/or is it a gastro pub?! Super efficient staff who were all blokes of a certain age and all very welcoming.
The lamb shoulder I had was melt in the mouth and the party we were with were thrilled with their meals as well. The wine list was extensive enough to incorporate a decent Italian Pinot Grigio so that kept me happy indeed.
They even had a children's menu etc for the kiddies so we were all winning.
Definitely one not to miss next time you in Briiiiiggggghhhhton!
Good restaurant, we order pizza and It was really tasty and big! Good Service and beatiful place to share with friends or family. It is near to the Beach!
Great service AAA+. Will be back. Friendly awesome staff. Yummy food. Yay. Need more characters so the staff are awesome and it was yummy and the drinks were good and there was a great selection of vegetarian options unlike a restraint next door. Thanks!
Situated in very close proximity to watch the trains pass you by at Middle Brighton station, White Rabbit is a nice venue for an easy meal after wandering the beach during summer. The service is attentive and friendly, and there is a nice outdoor section out the front to be near your dog. A very nice, homely Hot chocolate ($4.0) and with marshmallows to sweeten the deal!
Excellent service and even better food! Highly recommend the White Rabbit Breakfast Burrito! All the staff are friendly and make you feel more than welcome
Lovely. Had breakfast here this morning. Coffee good. Service excellent. Food delicious.
I have nothing but excellent good job white rabbit !!! I took my family here fir dinner and they catered to every request. Food was sensational snd service by the coolest r staff I've come across. Our waitress never stopped smiling and never said no ! Our food we had exotic mushroom gnocchi garlic prawns and carbonara to name but s few.
Sad we couldn't get a table for Mother's Day as they're booked out. Well done guys... We'll be back
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)’.
White Rabbit has the potential to outlast each of these, and I hope that it does, because its menu is something quite special.
Consistently excellent. Fantastic. On our most recent visit we had the mussels, lightly fried calamari (outstanding) and meatballs in a tomato sauce and all were delectable. The owner also went out of his way to make sure our experience was as good as can be which was greatly appreciated.
We'll be back!
Good times. Well, we've done the trifecta many times at White Rabbit...breakfast, lunch and dinner from time to time and somehow we always find something nice to eat. Pizzas are pretty quality, loving the wood fired oven, comes out fantastic every time (I will note however that the bases seem to be getting thinner than a salada biscuit though... I will suggest the chef adds a little more thickness and less crispiness).
Smart folk running it, keep the menu relatively fresh and circle through new items periodically.
A good coffee as well (look out for the fresh muffins in the morning), not overly expensive given the area on the whole, certainly a safe bet that doesn't disappoint. Well done.
Nice family restaurant with great pizzas and expansive menu. White Rabbit has become our favorite dinner spot in Brighton. Always warm and inviting, the pizzas are solid (calamari and prawns pizza is excellent, and the dough is great) and the rest of the menu is pretty strong (LFC tacos are tasty and have a good kick; bad boy fries are meaty; moussaka is hearty). Service is attentive and the wine list is broad. We always enjoy coming here for a casual bite or even a late-evening nightcap. And it's conveniently by the train line for a quick getaway!
Great birthday experience!. I booked a birthday lunch for 19 guests and arrived to find a long dining table reserved for my family. The service was friendly and professional every step of the way. The food was served quickly, tasted beautiful and we weren't rushed. The staff were happy to bring out the birthday cake at the end and were so upbeat and warm. I really appreciated them making our family welcome! We'll definitely return.

Quality Food - Works of ART!. I chose Valentine's day to visit White Rabbit and the lovely owners Sam & Violet Daou - what an absolute delight both food and company....
White Rabbit is a family owned and operated business and as such you are immediately made feel most welcome and a part of the family.
Even though this was a VERY busy evening for White Rabbit, the food was not compromised. The flavours were out of this world!
Chef Dan, clearly an artist - creating works or art with food visually whilst also enhancing the flavours to tantalise your tastebuds.
We started the evening with a quail dish seated in a rice noodle bird nest with pine nuts - this dish was shared around the table.
We also enjoyed the Seared Jumbo Scallops, parsnip purée, polish sausage with pickled fennel. Another favourite.
For Main, I chose the Lamb Ribs with Rustic Fries and salad. The meat was literally falling off the bone. I was raised on a beef farm and I have never enjoyed meat quite this tender.
We shared a trio dessert complimented by coffee to complete a perfect evening.
Each of the dishes were presented perfectly. I will be back and encourage you to dine at White Rabbit.
Thank you Sam, Violet, Dan and the staff for a wonderful dining experience.
Pizza Suggestion: Pumpkin gorgonzola puree, with pancetta, pine nuts
& fresh thyme
Bello PIZZA. All I can say is the Italian sausage with shaved fennel, capers, chilli & olive tapenade blew my taste buds. The home made sausage balanced with the portportioned toppings, prefect.
Our preferred on Church. Quality, space, looks, friendliness and value, how can you beat White Rabbit? We love it for breakie or lunch, the poached eggs with avocado and black pudding are brilliant: eggs are on the very small side, but the servings of avocado and black pudding are very generous and delicious (very little salt). The creamed (??, not really) rice pudding is also way above expectations: barely sweetened, with berries and fresh lychees, a refreshing pleasure. Good coffees.
A fantastic restaurant we had the Mezze Plate, carbonara and the kebab (I love authentic Lebanese cuisine and it was amazing) atmosphere great, friendly staff will be back for sure. Great location too!
Coffe supreme. Great coffee .... kick-starts my day each Mon-Fri. And especially happy that they will pour a coffee before 7 for the occasional very early start
On the meal side, very good food, friendly quick service, and always a pleasure to visit.
Consistently sensational breakfasts. From the Persian (sadly no longer) to the amazing Walnut Eggs, or their homemade sausage and rosti... I've been super happy every time!
White Rabbit - the place to be. Staff are friendly, welcoming and helpful - George, Jason, Sammy, Bec, Andrew. Bec who comes from England, served us this morning. Like all the staff, she is very professional. Nothing is too much trouble. She remembers our names, she is lovely with children, she is hard-working and smiling.
And the coffee! It is classy - hot, creamy, flavoursome. It's very hard to find a good coffee these days - we have just returned from a week in the ACT and didn't find a coffee anywhere near as good as Jason's coffees. It is good to be back at the White Rabbit with our friends. Breakfast, lunch and dinner are also first-class.
The food and coffee here is amazing especially the big breakfast best in Melbourne
Amazing place , best desserts ive ever had , great food , great staff!! well worth checking out
Food yummmmm, and staff and service are second to none - fantastic!
White restarant. This, my first visit to this restaurant, was a pleasant experience. We were a party of 6 and each of us enjoyed our meals. The menu is varied with some excellent and unusual choices. We found the staff to be friendly and attentive and the ambience great. I will certainly be back.
Outstanding. White Rabbit is my current favourite restaurant in Brighton. We have been here many times; the food and service is always outstanding.
The tapas is great - they keep the menu fresh by rotating different items through the it. The variety and style of dish is broad. We typically have 6 tapas dishes between two of us, and are slowly working our way through the entire tapas menu.
We have not had a dish we would not order again. They are all great (my favourite - the scallops)
Very nice wine selection too!
Highly recommended.
Been coming for awhile... As a brighton local I was concerned when I heard it was changing hands, I believe they had a few teething problem in the first week or so but me and the girls just had brunch yesterday....oh my godness. What an amazing meal and great service (our waitress was adorable.)
Better than ever, coming back with with my family tonight.
Needs improvement. Went here with a group of friends on a perfect sunny day so we sat outdoors. the fish was good, though slightly overpriced and had to wait awhile for food. we had children with us who were hungry and their food came out last, then the order was incorrect and children had to wait longer which was unfortunate as I wanted to give this place a good review as I had enjoyed my order. not sure if i would go back.
We had wonderful lunch. The chips were crispy. The smoked salmon pizza was tasty. The crispy pressed pulled pork was special but little bit dry. It would be nice if with sauce. The mocha was good too.
One of the great local dining places. We were greeted and seated inside. What a lovely and cozy dining ambience. We stopped by for a quickie brekky. The staff were friendly and attentive. We really enjoyed the Lemon blueberry bread, Mocha and hot chocolate. Very tasty. Parking can be tricky but there are lots of parking lots around the area. Close to Middle Brighton station. Definitely we'll be back again.
Favourite dining outside in summer 🌺 great menu very easy going and loads of options on the menu. Did I mention the staff were super friendly. Pizza is great and so is the pasta.
Always good local food.
Friendly service.
Cold beer.
Pizzas are simple but great.
Thanks
Attentive, friendly staff and great food. A wonderful experience from start to finish.
Yum Benedict poached eggs with crispy pork- something typical become new. People are super friendly no matter where you are from. They service you nicely, they say to customers, "Thank you love!", very friendly.
Food is really good just a bit pricey but it’s really good! Staffs are friendly and accomodating too!
Fantastic welcoming restaurant. Very friendly staff. Food was well presented and full flavoured. We ordered lobster spaghetti and to our surprise it came out with half a lobster. Terrific value! I was expecting a few pieces cut into the spaghetti.
