We only sampled drinks on this occasion but will definitely return for the delectable sounding middle eastern inspired menu. According to Rosebud's website the new chef has cooked in Sean's Kitchen, Berowra Waters Inn and the old Level 41.
Breakfast items include French toast pan fried raisin brioche w sour cherries, mascarpone, toasted almonds and maple syrup, and slow cooked beans w marinated feta, speck toast, avocado salsa and; rocket. Lunch welcomes in seared lamb tenderloin w radicchio, pumpkin, couscous and sheep’s milk yoghurt and grilled spatchcock w sweet potato two ways, rose and; pomegranate dressing.
The drinks menu was interesting which is always a good sign. I had some Egyptian mint tea but was tempted by the Turkish Delight smoothie, a blend of fresh strawberries, rose syrup, milk and ice cream.
The specials are chalked up on a blackboard wall and the staff are all smiles and help.
The website mentions kids meals and they happily provided Stella with a kids size milkshake in a paper cup with straw. There were several family groups with bubs in prams and at least four high chairs. There is also a change table in the loo.
Another drawcard is Belle Fleur chocolates a few doors away. Pop in for a grapefruit and vodka or strawberry and balsamic vinegar macaroon. The chocolates are sublime with combinations such as dark chocolate and lemon myrtle/mandarin/raspberry or white chocolate and tahini/lime and cointreau.
If you can stand the queue, Adriano Zumbo's new Chocolat patisserie is down the road on Terry Street. We weren't up for it - this time.
