About Our Rabbit
Rabbit is one of the leanest, healthiest meats there is - very low in fat and cholesterol, high in protein, with a mild, delicate white flavour somewhere between chicken and something gamier. It has a growing following among health-conscious cooks and anyone who keeps or buys farmed rabbit, and we sell it whole, ready to joint.
Because it is so lean, it wants moisture and gentle heat: braise or stew it in a covered pot and it stays tender, or joint it and fry the pieces. Cooked fast and dry it can toughen, much like kienyeji chicken. A marinade helps, and it takes to mustard, garlic, rosemary and a little cream or coconut particularly well.
How to Cook Rabbit
- Joint into legs and saddle so the pieces cook evenly.
- Brown, then braise covered in stock for 45-60 minutes until tender.
- Do not dry-roast a whole rabbit - it is too lean and will dry out.
- A marinade, and finishing the sauce with a little cream or coconut, suits it well.
- Pressure cooker: about 20-25 minutes.

Rabbit: Questions
Rabbit is KSh 1,000 per kg. Because it is cut to order, we weigh it after cutting and confirm the exact total with you before anything is dispatched. Prices at the counter and online are the same.
Yes, and at no extra charge - it is the whole point of buying from a butcher rather than a chiller cabinet. Tell us the thickness, trim, portion size or preparation you want in the notes when you order, or just describe what you are cooking and let us choose. We butcher whole carcasses at City Market, so the options are real.
Yes, every day. Order before 4:00pm on 0707 700511 for same-day chilled delivery across Nairobi. Delivery is a flat fee by area, from KSh 300 to KSh 1,000 depending on where you are, and it is added to your basket total automatically. See the full fee table.
Three to four days in the coldest part of the fridge, loosely covered so the surface dries rather than sweats. To freeze, portion into meal sizes, press flat, wrap tightly and label. Thaw overnight in the fridge, never on the counter, and do not refreeze thawed raw meat.
At our stall: City Market, Ground Floor, Stall 55 Muindi Mbingu St, Nairobi, beside Jamia Mosque in the Nairobi CBD, open every day 6:30am to 7:00pm Monday to Saturday, and 9:00am to 5:00pm on Sundays. You can also order it online here, on WhatsApp, or by calling 0707 700511. See the rest of the poultry section or the full counter.
