Located in Bristol, R.I., Basil & Bunny offers a plant-based, comfort food experience like no other.

Founder Lyslie Smith, created Basil & Bunny to prove once and for all that plant-based food isn’t “rabbit food.” What started with a two-person trailer in 2020, eventually grew into the go-to choice for plant-based enthusiasts and carnivores alike—earning Basil & Bunny recognition as R.I. Monthly Magazine readers’ choice for “Best Food Truck” two years in a row! Seeing how excited people were about plant-based comfort food they could get at a brewery and out around town, Basil & Bunny eventually saw a need to expand and built their very own brick-and-mortar, located in Bristol’s Unity Park.

About Basil & Bunny

Basil & Bunny's interior—brought to life by Libby Slader Design—creates an aesthetic that delights guests with a warm, inviting atmosphere in a fast-casual setting and unique bunny decor. With cozy vibes that are equally fun and inviting, Libby gathered inspiration from Lyslie’s travels abroad with a bit of Hawaiian Island flare.

The menu consists of center-of-the-plate, mouthwatering dishes that anyone would crave—offering an abundance of mouthwatering burgers, crispy chicky sandwiches, loaded hand-cut fries, and delectable, sweet treats that are simply to die for. Basil & Bunny’s dishes help increase the vitality of people’s lives while reducing the world’s dependence on animals one bite at a time. With convenient, delicious, and sustainable meals, diners are invited to make more conscious food decisions. All recipes are hand-crafted and made from scratch using fresh, local ingredients for a more wholesome and comforting experience.
