There was a query why we hadn’t visited Rabbits Salad Bar at Norwich Market as part of our quest to eat at every food stall at the market. It has only just opened and so when checking on the status on another stall, we visited this today.
The interior was bright, clean and had a modern feel to it. The queueing system seemed logical and the signage was clear.
The menu board.
The counter. The service here was one of the best that we’ve had at the market, with the team member being engaging, personable and helpful.
This cost £5 as I didn’t add any protein to it, so the price feels reasonable. The salad felt freshly made and the ingredients tasted of a decent quality. I usually load food with black pepper, but there was a generous sprinkling on the salad and that’s visible in the photo. The dressing had a pleasant flavour and the jammy egg had some vibrancy to it.
Not that I should confess these things too often as it’ll destroy my reputation, but two of the things that I eat a lot when given the chance are Greek salad and Caesar salad. This was in line with what I expected, it wasn’t the taste sensation that I’ve had before (there’s more to be done with the sauce and croutons), but it was £5 and it’s not really fair to compare it to restaurants. I possibly should have had chicken to go with it, but the uplift of £5 for chicken thigh was just a little rich for me.
James forgot to take a photo of his kimchi which is sub-optimal, but he was impressed with that, although he’s not really one for the salad leaves that he found at the bottom of his bowl. But, that’s hardly the fault of a salad bar. And James is planning to draw his lunch later for me.
This is a really positive addition to the market, with the service being particularly friendly and engaging. There’s a lack of options like this at the market, so I’m sure that the stall will do well. And if I see that they’ve got a Greek salad available, then I’ll quite likely pop back and try that.
