Brantford’s Whole-Food Kitchen
Built with Real Ingredients.

Healthy Rabbit began with a simple dream
to serve real food, made with intention, in a world increasingly filled with shortcuts. While food trends come and go, we’ve stayed focused on what lasts — fresh ingredients, thoughtful preparation, and meals that genuinely fuel your day and delight the senses.
As a family-run business, we’re rooted in community, quality, and a deep respect for the process behind good food. Our team prepares nearly everything in-house, sources locally whenever possible, and chooses practices that value people, producers, and the work itself. Our mission is simple: real food, made right, at real value.
Community Cafe
More Than a Café — A Community Hub
Healthy Rabbit is built on connection — to food, to people, and to the place we call home. We’re proud to be a gathering space in Brantford where thoughtfully prepared food brings people together and meaningful conversations naturally follow.
From everyday coffee stops to community events and workshops, we aim to create a place where good food and good company go hand in hand. Every visit supports local farmers, artisans, and small businesses, and helps strengthen the community we’re proud to be part of.
Plant-Powered? Thoughtfully Made
Made From Scratch.
We’re often asked whether Healthy Rabbit is vegan, vegetarian, or meat-based. The honest answer is: we’re none of those — and intentionally so.
Our menu is built around whole, vibrant foods prepared from scratch, with plants at the center and thoughtfully sourced proteins available by choice. Nearly everything is made in-house using fresh ingredients, traditional techniques, and high standards in the kitchen — not trends or labels.
For those who eat plant-forward, our menu stands confidently on its own. For those who include animal proteins, we offer carefully selected options — pasture-raised eggs, antibiotic-free chicken, wild-caught salmon, and grass-fed beef — prepared with the same care and intention as everything else we serve.
Led by a Red Seal–certified chef, our kitchen is focused on flavor, digestibility, and balance. Whether you’re here for a nourishing lunch, a satisfying dinner, or a great cup of coffee, Healthy Rabbit is about giving you real choice — and doing it properly.
This isn’t about fitting into a category.
It’s about food made with standards, and people who care how it’s done.
What Most People Don’t Know
Good | Better | Down the Rabbit Hole we GO
Is the lemon worth the squeeze? We think so — and we’ve built our kitchen around that answer.
Here’s a real example of what sets us apart. Every one of our dressings is made with 100% extra-virgin olive oil — dated, traceable, and sourced directly to the farm. Not refined. Not chemically washed. Not blended to pass a label. Real olive oil, full stop.
Take our Creamy Garlic dressing. It sounds ordinary — until you look closer. It’s made from fermented cashews and sunflower seeds, organic spices, and freshly squeezed lemon juice (never from concentrate). No shortcuts. No industrial fillers. Just careful preparation designed to taste better and digest better.
And this isn’t a new experiment. These standards — and these recipes — have been served on thousands of bowls over the life of Healthy Rabbit, refined over 10 years and still running.
But surely, Mr. Rabbit, you’ve shaved off a few cents here and there — squeezing lemon juice from a factory bottle that says “real” and “natural” on the label… right? Nope. We take that little yellow sphere — the real thing — cut it in half, and squeeze it directly into our dressings. And you know what? We won’t stop.
Good luck finding that level of sourcing and preparation at your average café or even fine dinning resturant — anywhere in Ontario, let alone on the planet? We’ve looked. We know why we’re different. Do you?
