| - I love this place for the location, and most importantly the health-concious menu. Rarely (and I use that word loosely - more like never) will you find a menu in Toronto that includes calorie count per serving, but also TASTES GOOD and FILLS YOU UP.
Rose's menu of healthy-portioned, calorie-wise choices are a great option for someone who wants to eat out, but also doesn't want to jepordize their waistline. My favourite is the sun-dried tomato burger (no bun!) w/ smashed potatoes, delish! And the Spanish Paella is a dream, chock-full of chicken, shrimp and sausuage (I choose not to order it with mussels) amazingly flavourful but not overly spicy. It's hard to believe something that hearty is that low-cal. Being able to eat well and feel full, and know that you didn't just consume the calories of a small family's entire dinner makes me a fan.
That said, on my non-calorie counting nights, the menu is fairly large and diverse. The restuarant (chain) is also one of the few in the city that serves Hoegarrden. I only recommend ordering beer, no cocktails! Their cocktails are horrendously oversized, yet still only come with 1- 1.5oz of booze. Meaning if you're craving a margarita, what comes to the table is a big 'ol bowl of syrup and ice.
