About Deadly Rabbits Concepts

Founded in 2019, Deadly Rabbits Concepts is a Hong Kong-based dining group dedicated to crafting high-quality yet affordable European dining experiences. 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, 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 their passion for what they do.

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, which is located at six bustling locations: Wan Chai, Quarry Bay, Tai Hang, Happy Valley, Soho, and Shatin. Adding to its impressive portfolio are À Poêle French Bistro in Quarry Bay and Qué Pasa Spanish Tapas Y Vino, a vibrant spot that brings lively Spanish tapas and wine flavours to Tai Hang.

In September 2025, the group marked a major milestone in its international growth with the opening of its first overseas Ask for Alonzo’s outpost in Poland, located in the iconic Varso Tower—the tallest building in both Poland and the European Union. Building on this momentum, the group also launched The Slavic Social, a modern Polish restaurant and cocktail bar at Hilton Warsaw City, which doubles as the business club The Slavic Lab. Crafted by Polish talent and using ingredients primarily sourced from Poland, The Slavic Social celebrates regional flavours and native botanicals, elevating classic dishes with modern techniques and serving cocktails inspired by the wild beauty of the Slavic landscape. With a growing presence in Hong Kong and an expansion to Poland, Deadly Rabbits Concepts remains committed to sharing culinary joy across borders.
