Rosie, in my opinion, is hands down one of the best brunch spots in AKL, with not only consistently top-notch quality but also very interesting flavours that are definitely not your typical basic cafe foods. Idk why it took me so long but I finally tried dinner here the other day & was 💯 mind blown 🤯💘.
• 𝘼𝙢𝙗𝙞𝙚𝙣𝙘𝙚: The place has glass walls = heaps of sunshine ☀️ = amazing lighting for photos 📸during the day time! At night the hanging halo garland chandelier above the centre of the dining floor is lit up, giving off serious romantic vibes.
• 𝙏𝙖𝙨𝙩𝙚: Tbh Rosie’s menu can be a bit confusing - as if they just put random fancy ingredients names tgt & call it a day 😒- BUT don’t be put off & just trusttt that the dishes taste way more impressive than they sound 🤪
𝕊𝕒𝕧𝕠𝕦𝕣𝕪: The star of the night has to be the 𝙎𝙝𝙤𝙧𝙩𝙝𝙤𝙧𝙣 𝘽𝙚𝙚𝙛, 𝙬𝙤𝙤𝙙 𝙢𝙪𝙨𝙝𝙧𝙤𝙤𝙢𝙨, 𝙨𝙠𝙤𝙧𝙙𝙖𝙡𝙞𝙖, 𝙩𝙧𝙪𝙛𝙛𝙡𝙚 - the beef 🥩 literally melts in your mouth & the umami truffle butter really gives it extra oomph! (𝚙𝚕𝚜 𝚐𝚎𝚝 𝚘𝚞𝚝𝚝𝚊 𝚑𝚎𝚛𝚎 𝚒𝚏 𝚢𝚘𝚞’𝚛𝚎 𝚝𝚑𝚒𝚗𝚔𝚒𝚗𝚐 𝚘𝚏 𝚝𝚛𝚞𝚏𝚏𝚕𝚎 𝚋𝚞𝚝𝚝𝚎𝚛 𝚒𝚗 𝚊𝚗𝚢 𝚠𝚊𝚢 𝚝𝚑𝚊𝚝’𝚜 𝚗𝚘𝚝 𝚏𝚘𝚘𝚍-𝚛𝚎𝚕𝚊𝚝𝚎𝚍 𝚋𝚌 𝚝𝚑𝚊𝚝’𝚜 𝚏𝚞𝚌𝚔𝚒𝚗𝚐 𝚍𝚒𝚜𝚐𝚞𝚜𝚝𝚒𝚗𝚐) The 𝙃𝙖𝙬𝙠𝙚𝙨 𝘽𝙖𝙮 𝙗𝙚𝙚𝙛 𝙘𝙝𝙚𝙚𝙠 𝙠𝙞𝙗𝙗𝙚𝙝, 𝙯𝙝𝙪𝙜, 𝙮𝙤𝙜𝙝𝙪𝙧𝙩 is one giant meatball that’s crispy on the outside & packed with succulent beefy yummy goodness on the inside. The 𝘼𝙪𝙘𝙠𝙡𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙄𝙨𝙡𝙖𝙣𝙙𝙨 𝙨𝙘𝙖𝙢𝙥𝙞, 𝙜𝙣𝙤𝙘𝙘𝙝𝙞, 𝙨𝙥𝙞𝙘𝙚𝙙 𝙗𝙪𝙩𝙩𝙚𝙧, 𝙥𝙖𝙣𝙜𝙧𝙞𝙩𝙖𝙩𝙖 is both sumptuous & loaded with flavor. We also ordered some 𝘽𝙤𝙣𝙚 𝙢𝙖𝙧𝙧𝙤𝙬 𝙧𝙤𝙖𝙨𝙩𝙚𝙙 𝙥𝙤𝙩𝙖𝙩𝙤𝙚𝙨 🥔, 𝙜𝙖𝙧𝙡𝙞𝙘 🧄- veggies, but naughty 🥰.
𝔻𝕖𝕤𝕤𝕖𝕣𝕥:
This is where the naming really gets me. The 𝙍𝙝𝙪𝙗𝙖𝙧𝙗, 𝙘𝙪𝙨𝙩𝙖𝙧𝙙, 𝙫𝙖𝙣𝙞𝙡𝙡𝙖 is a dazzling deconstructed version of the rhubarb custard pie 🥧 though my dumb ass really be expecting a stalk of rhubarb, a spoonful of custard & a vanilla bean on the side - which really does this dish a disservice bc it truly is a work of art. The 𝙁𝙧𝙞𝙚𝙙 𝙗𝙧𝙞𝙤𝙘𝙝𝙚, 𝙘𝙝𝙤𝙘𝙤𝙡𝙖𝙩𝙚 𝙢𝙤𝙪𝙨𝙨𝙚 is luckily quite literal, featuring the 2 said delicious duos with a little bit of golden honey 🍯 drizzled on top. The Vanilla 𝙂𝙚𝙡𝙖𝙩𝙤 𝙨𝙪𝙣𝙙𝙖𝙚 𝙤𝙛 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙙𝙖𝙮 🍨, served with delicately spiced poached pears 🍐 with a drizzle of rich chocolate sauce 🍫 over top, is so elegant & classy it puts all the sundaes out there to shame.
𝔻𝕣𝕚𝕟𝕜𝕤: Whether it be 𝙃𝙤𝙪𝙨𝙚 𝙤𝙧 𝙎𝙖𝙡𝙩𝙚𝙙 𝙘𝙖𝙧𝙖𝙢𝙚𝙡, 𝙝𝙤𝙩 𝙘𝙝𝙤𝙘𝙤 is a must-try here. It always comes with a glass of frothy milk 🥛 & a jug of rich chocolate ganache 🍫 for you to pour through your drink. (They used to have homemade marshmallows which were such a hit but have now been replaced with boring store-bought marshmallows *cringe* - totally not judging if you’re into that tho, 𝘛𝘖𝘛𝘈𝘓𝘓𝘠). The 𝙅𝙖𝙥𝙖𝙣𝙚𝙨𝙚 𝙡𝙞𝙢𝙚 𝙜𝙧𝙚𝙚𝙣 𝙞𝙘𝙚𝙙 𝙩𝙚𝙖 🍹is also a great drink that’s refreshing & sweet but not cloying.
• 𝙎𝙚𝙧𝙫𝙞𝙘𝙚: Service is excellent & staff are super accommodating. My sparkling water always gets topped up as soon as it reaches halfway (you can always opt for tap water if sparkling is not ur thing 🤪).

🌟 5/5!!!
The service and ambiance it’s good for a cafeteria. The food came fast and hot. The place was crowded with people but not annoyingly which is nice to see. The only thing I disliked was the flavour of my omelette. Was to watery. Also I added pancetta as an extra and I got 1 very thin overcooked stripe.
Sunday brunch at Rosie’s is always my fav. I love the cosy spot, cheerful service and above all clean flavours. Today i explored the vege menu:
1) Tomatoes, puffed rice, avocado and pecorino- a very balanced dish with freshness from the tomatoes, nuttiness from the puffed rice and creaminess from the avo and pecorino cheese.
2) Asparagus, macadamia, ras el hanout- the asparagus was surprisingly sweet and had a good bite to it. Would have loved a bit more macadamia flavour coming through.
3) Cauliflower, Chickpea fritters, malt chèvre- my favourite of the three. Fritters were fluffy and full of flavour,
