REVIEW: The Better Breads Menu at Bunnychow, Soho

Last week I was absolutely delighted to revisit the fabulous Bunnychow and test out their new Better Breads menu. After listening to feedback from six months of customer feedback, the team at Bunnychow have worked to create lighter dishes that are perfect for everyday eating. Not only that but they were keen to tap into London's obsession with health foods, including matcha green tea and protein rich ingredients. These are not normally things one associates with bread based dishes, and certainly not ones as big as Bunnychow's. Luckily the new breads at Bunnychow really are a revelation and light enough for every lunches. 

What we ate

• Matcha tea bunny with a veggie and quinoa filling, topped with fennel salad and crunchy slaw
• Gym bunny with chicken filling, fresh salsa and crunchy slaw 
• Dessert: Chocolate and walnut filled Bunny

Review

The new breads are really exciting and definitely lighter than my last experience. The green tea flavour of my veggie Bunny was subtle and I really enjoyed the green colour! 

I loved my veggie filling; the quinoa brought essential protein and added texture when mixed with the squash, aubergine and herbs. The flavour was lovely and fresh which was highlighted by the pea and courgette sauce. 

Adding the crunchy pink slaw and fennel topping brought lots of added crunch and freshness.

My guests protein packed gym Bunny tasted like 'normal' bread. Her filling of Chakalaka Chicken (that name though!), was marinated in Peri Peri sauce, garlic, ginger, chilli and lemon giving it a real pack of flavour. The salsa topping brought added freshness with tomatoes, coriander and spring onion. 

Although I sadly couldn't eat the dessert Bunny, on account of it containing chocolate and walnuts in a brioche bun, my guest thoroughly enjoyed it. The filling was gently warmed and the mix of crunchy walnuts, soft chocolate and buttery brioche worked really well. We've all heard of bread and butter pudding but this is a fun, modern update on the classic. 

Thank you to the lovely team at Bunnychow for hosting us for dinner and for our fabulous gin laced cucumber juice that you've seen throughout the post!! We definitely enjoyed ourselves and can't wait to visit again. Plus on a side note, Bunnychow also serve breakfast Bunnies, both meat and vegetarian based, so make sure to check those out on the weekend.
