About Deadly Rabbits Concepts

Founded in 2019, Deadly Rabbits Concepts, an innovative dining group renowned for its creativity in the Hong Kong dining scene, is known for offering top-notch yet wallet-friendly modern European cuisines.

The group's name draws its inspiration from the whimsical world of Monty Python, paired with the delightfully absurd sense of humour that permeates Poland, the homeland of Bart, the co-founder of Deadly Rabbits Concepts, who believed that the F&B industry should embody fun and light-heartedness. This belief was creatively expressed through the group’s playful logo and unique name, signalling that they are always passionate about what they do.

Deadly Rabbits Concepts has quickly become known for its resilience. During its initial years, the restaurant faced the city's challenges, including the outbreak of the Coronavirus. Despite the difficulties, the savvy dining group has remained steadfast, adapting to the new norms and thriving in the rapidly changing environment of the Hong Kong dining scene.

This creative group is also the driving force behind several of the city’s beloved neighbourhood dining spots. Among their successful establishments is the modern Italian restaurant Ask for Alonzo, at five bustling locations: Wan Chai, Quarry Bay, Tai Hang, Happy Valley, and Soho. Adding to its impressive portfolio, Deadly Rabbits Concepts is excitedly preparing to introduce two new culinary concepts to its portfolio in 2024: À Poêle French Bistro in Quarry Bay and Qué Pasa Spanish Tapas Y Vino, a vibrant spot that promises to bring the lively flavours of Spanish tapas and wine to Tai Hang.

These latest openings further cement the group’s reputation for creating unique, forward-thinking dining experiences that cater to the tastes of contemporary food enthusiasts without breaking the bank in an expensive city like Hong Kong.
