Rosie restaurant review: Metro Top 50 2019

May 2, 2019 Restaurants

Rosie is a finalist in the Metro Peugeot Restaurant of the Year 2019 awards for Best All-Day Restaurant and executive chef Jo Pearson is runner up for Best Chef. To see a full rundown of all our winners, click here.

A glittering siren on an otherwise quiet-by-night street, neighbourhood bistro Rosie firmly holds its own among Hip Group’s other eateries. A wait for your table can be sweetened by a stroll at the nearby Parnell Rose Gardens, or a chat with locals stopping by while walking their dogs. Sectioned into neat seafood, vegetables and meat categories, the focus here is on good ingredients and generous portions – think line-caught fish of the day, unpretentious pasta and proteins paired with produce from the season – and buoyed perfectly by seamless service. Parnell locals are lucky to have it on their corner.
