| - Hidden gem or not? Restaurants on Harbour St are in such a dilemma location, between Annex & Kensington/Queen W. You just don't come here too often. I am so glad I FINALLY tried Rasa after bookmarking it for so long...
Location/Decor: the address says Roberts St, it's door is actually on Harbor. Easy to find street parking, free after 9pm. Can also park on neighbourhood streets. It is very intimate vibe, exposed brick, exposed concrete, big wood beam, restored wood slab tables, leather high chair (my fav seat), big facing street window, cactus plants by the window. It's love at the first sight.
Food: they change menu every month? Or season? I'm not sure. But few classic items remain on the menu (such as chopped salad, sticky bun, octopus). Because it's tapa style so we (two girls) ordered five dishes (including dessert). We were too full after four dishes. First dish, chopped salad. I am not a salad person AT ALL. I usually skilled all salad dishes when dining out. But this salad is a MUST-TRY. Few chopped veggies, quinoa, grapes, toasted crunchy chickpeas, with jelapño spread. Second dish STICKY BUN, we had them serve dessert as second course because we were just too hungry and figured dessert won't take long to come. It's another must try item. Tastes like warm cinnamon bun with toasted walnut and applewood bacon! We also order duck breast, octopus, and braised lamb. All of them are 9/10 in terms of flavours, presentation, creativity.
I would come back!!!!!!!!
