If you want to avoid the hustle and bustle of the new tambayan of yuppies and teens in Iloilo which is Smallville. I recommend you go visit a quaint little place near Atrium that will remind you of a childhood classic.
Let’s get lost together down the Rabbit Hole with the White Rabbit and your friends to attend the tea party.
Me and my friends are always on the lookout for new places to eat here in Iloilo. We heard a bit of a place called Rabbit Hole near St. Paul University but did not really know exactly where it was until I stumbled upon it by accident when I took the wrong turn when walking to Tibiao Bakeshop.
There was the small sign that said Rabbit Hole.
So me and the friends decided to try it out one Friday night.
On the door, it said Café + Bar. We hesitated for a bit before entering because none of us is much of a drinker, but decided to try the menu, if nothing else.
The café is small and one of the company said that it used to be an internet shop when he was in college. So that might explain the setup.
It has a high rise table (portion of the wall) that looks like it holds something and the cashier desk is somewhat further in with displays on shelves which now shows the menu but once upon a time displays available food.
Anyway, the place was small, about 10-11 small tables with 2 chairs per table. But it was comfy and dim lighting really creates a relaxing mood plus the music playing are the usual un-irritating top hits.
The neon lights and the art works displayed on the side does not cause loss of appetite at least.
When we were handed the menu, I resisted a giggle because at the top it read Eat Me! for the Food Menu and Drink Me! for the Cocktails and other drink selections.
At the side, the menu is also displayed.
(That's the door to the kitchen)
So for the Food we ordered their Rice Meals: Honey Chicken, Mongolian Beef and Pork Schinitzel.
We also have 3 orders of Hot Box Burger, 1 Buffalo Wings and 1 Mozzarella Sticks.
For the Drinks, we only tried their Blue Turnate that turns the drink from Blue to Purple when Calamansi or Lemon Juice was added.
The food though was mouth-watering. Its presentation will really whet your appetite. And the taste, the taste of the food is heavenly. The honey chicken tasted sweet but you can really feel the tenderness of the chicken.

The Mongolian beef was easy to chew and the sauce in the Pork was creamy but not bland.

The mozzarella was melted just right and crunchy even though it was chewy.

I even nibbled on the Buffalo Wings even if I have a no-no rule for spicy foods. I think they added cheese in the Buffalo Wings and that added to the taste.

I only had problems with the Hot Box Burger because the patty was too salty for my taste but the other 3 people who ate the burger does not agree with me, they are highly recommending that you try the burger.

Don’t ask us about the drinks because we did not order any except for the Blue Turnate.
But I am recommending you try the place out and discover for yourself the wonders of their available cocktails.
You will get your money’s worth in terms of food quantity and quality.
That goes for drinks too, because even if we are no longer actively drinking socially, I am still aware of the price range.
So visit the Rabbit Hole, at Gen. Luna St., in an alley in-between Tibiao Bakeshop and St. Paul University, in front of Atrium.
Bring your own Alice or invite the Mad Hatter.
Daghang salamat sa pagbasa!!!
