Hold onto your sombreros because the Northern Beaches of Sydney just got a little bit spicier with the arrival of Rosa, a casual but contemporary Mexican restaurant inspired by the vibrant venues of Tulum.
Brought to you by the fabulous Merci Group, the masterminds behind the much-loved Dunes in Palm Beach have taken over the renowned Barrenjoey Road site in Mona Vale to create this little sister venue that’s sure to be your new go-to for fiesta vibes.
Let’s talk about Rosa’s menu. This is not your abuela’s traditional Mexican fare. Oh no, this is a fusion of classic Mexican flavours and modern twists that will transport you straight to the heart of modern Mexico.
Designed to be shared with friends over a couple of margs (or maybe more, we won’t judge) the menu kicks off with classic Mexican favourites like guacamole and corn chips, and Mexican spiced wood-fired bread before building up to more satiating staples with a twist. Think Whole Snapper with Salsa Verde & Roja and delicious Gambas Mayas (Mayan Prawns) each cooked on Rosa’s traditional charcoal Josper and wood-fired oven to add to the authentic Mexican flare and flavour.
Get ready to be transported straight to the beaches of Mexico with Rosa’s mouth-watering dessert selection including a Mexican Gaytime and Flaming Pineapple Tequila Bombe Alaska – guaranteed to see your taste buds doing a salsa!
When you’re looking for an exotic escape without a long-haul flight, Rosa’s got you covered. It’s the perfect chill-out spot after a dip in the ocean and elevated enough to dress up for dinner, striking the perfect balance between a chic getaway and cosy local. All backdropped to a neutral, coastally-inspired fit-out.
What are you waiting for!? Grab your amigos and head to Rosa for a fiesta you won’t forget. Ole!
