Have you ever woken up and believed you were a different person who is more lively, energetic and flirtatious? Maybe you fell asleep simple, shy and restrained? Do you switch from person to person at least once a week? There is more than one color to our personality that we often manifest at different points in our lives. Even while writing this article, I feel very excited and passionate about everything around me, unlike last night, when I was dreading Monday morning. If you are an observant person, you will be able to keep an eye on people’s moods and personalities as well as your own mood. But have you ever been to a restaurant that changes its personality according to the time of day? If not, meet Rosie and Tilly!

Dining at Rosie and Tilly
The all-day dining cafe looks ‘rosy’, featuring breakfast favorites from around the world, craft coffee and sumptuous mains – ham-shuka, peas and basil cappelliti. Desserts are quite interesting, such as Imitation Tiramisu Bailey’s Soaked Almond Jaconde, White Chocolate Namalaka and Coffee Almond Tuile with a boozy take on the side. As the clock ticks past 7 PM, ‘Tilly’ serves up a perfect blend of science and whimsy through its cocktail bar menu. Discover exemplary taste in cocktails inspired by global traditions. With every sophisticated plate and texture in play, the food menu takes you on a culinary journey – Eggplant Courage with Sticky Pineapple Teriyaki, Thai Spicy Chicken Schnitzel, Pork Me.
‘Aran-Chi’ and ‘Ridically Delicious Garlic Focaccia’
Our Recommendations:
‘Aran-Chi’ – This is a kimchi arancini served with sweet pepper aioli. A great way to start your meal – it not only ignites your appetite but will also give you an indication of what’s coming next. Yes, I am talking about focaccia bread. Try their ‘ridiculously delicious garlic focaccia,’ as the name suggests, the focaccia bread with garlic three ways with olive tapenade and mixed herb butter. For chicken lovers, they have the ‘Chicken Pop’ – a far and tastier version of KFC Chicken Popcorn. Spicy Fried Chicken Popcorn with Green Chillies, Coriander and Garlic Served with Spicy Coconut Mayo. Those who like bold flavors must try this.
‘Chicken Pop’ and ‘Green Chipotle Chicken Taco’
‘Couli and Waffles’
Next, I recommend their ‘Green Chipotle Chicken Taco’ – a nice amalgamation of chicken, corn, and vegetables. Vegetarians should try their ‘couli and waffles’ – Korean fried cauliflower, purple cabbage kimchi and Sriracha aioli. One of the last main dishes that I would definitely recommend is the ‘Gnocchi and Citrus Salad’. You should end your meal with ‘inverted bananas’ or ‘fake tiramisu’.
