Getting Down in the Rabbithole

Last weekend, I met up with Chiara (my fabulous coworker) and a college friend of hers to enjoy some brunch in South Williamsburg.  We were initially going to hit up a restaurant on the North side, since we were going to check out Smorgasburg, which if you didn't already know is a giant food market. I've been collecting photos from this, so I'll write a longer post about it soon.

The L train was down for the weekend (which is nice for those of us who need a little quiet time away from the tourists and youngsters), but it made things difficult for Chiara to get into Brooklyn.  I met her near the Marcy JZ stop and we walked over to the Rabbithole, a place I never had the chance to try.

The Rabbithole is utterly adorable with an old-timey feel to it.  They have a nice garden area to eat in, but we didn't wait the extra 15 minutes to sit here since there were plenty of tables inside near the opened entrance.

Our server was attentive and food and drink came quickly. 



Chiara and I ordered the Eggs Benedict, which came with candied bacon instead of ham.  The eggs were cooked well and the hollandaise was delicious.  Everything about this meal was superb. 


Their potatoes were particularly tasty with a perfect crisp around and spiced to give it a little kick.

The little salad was a nice touch too with a tangy vinaigrette.

I would definitely come back here for this dish.  It was well cooked, perfectly seasoned and incredibly satisfying.

Chiara and I definitely cleaned our plates! 

Chiara's friend (sorry I forgot your name!) ordered the Stuffed French Toast, which sounded amazing.

I believe it was stuffed with a mascarpone, which is apparently an Italian triple-cream cheese made from crème fraîche, so its sweet.

I knew it was something I couldn't even think about touching, but it received rave reviews.  It looks damn good, almost like a dessert!

Needless to say that our table was part of the Clean Plate Club!

I loved the Rabbithole and will definitely be back, except I will wait the extra time to sit outside and enjoy some sunshine!
