Coming Soon: Acclaimed Chef Rosheen Kaul is Set to Bring a French-Asian Bistro to Fitzroy Next Month, and Bookings Go Live Today
While the menu is still tightly under wraps, word on the street is that Kaul will reimagine French bistro classics through a playful Asian-leaning lens.
News just in that beloved Melbourne chef Rosheen Kaul, with bartender Joe Jones (no, not Joe Jonas), will open Little Rose in Fitzroy in May. However, the French-Asian Bistro, which is set to take over the former Alta Trattoria site, will be around for a good time, not a long time.
While the menu is still tightly under wraps, word on the street is that Kaul will reimagine French bistro classics through a looser, more playful Asian-leaning lens. Where her last project, Bistro Marigold, was more structured, Little Rose is intended to feel more relaxed. Kaul says, "It's a bit more undone. Still thoughtful, but easier, something you can settle into."
With Jones in charge of the drinks, expect a focus on the classics with subtle changes. There will be a tight cocktail list, designed to encourage patrons to find an easy favourite they can order on repeat.
The residency will run for a limited time only, but in that period, expect long leisurely lunches, lively late dinners, and quick drinks that turn into many more than you intended. Bookings are now live.
