John's Birthday Lunch

We sat in the lounge at home trying to decide where to go for our late lunch when John remembered this place that he'd been to years ago. So we headed down the road to Glen Eden, and ended up at this beautiful little restaurant (the cafe that he had remembered was long gone, but we decided to do lunch there anyway because it looked really nice). I'm not going to lie, I was a little skeptical at first, but it was amazing.

My bacon wrapped scallops were amazing, but I did get a massive case of food envy over John's chowder, if had mussels, and prawns, and fish, and garlic, oh damn it looked good.

Go there: La Rosa, 1/16 Captain Scott Road, Glen Eden.
If you plan to go for dinner, they do recommend that you book in advance as they are a popular place, but for lunch it seemed reasonably quiet (it was 1pm on a Tuesday after all). Their website, go have a look, we were very impressed.
