Café · Roastery · Supper Club — Fitzroy, Melbourne
"Started at a kitchen table. Still feels like one."
Rosa Caruso opened this place in 2017 with a Bialetti, a lease she couldn't quite afford, and a very specific idea of what a neighbourhood café should feel like. That idea hasn't changed. The coffee got better.
Every Thursday · 7pm · 12 seats only
Twelve seats around one table. A set menu that changes weekly, built around whatever Rosa found at the market that morning. Bring someone worth talking to.

I've lived in Fitzroy for eleven years. Bar Rosa is the reason I'm still here.

The Thursday supper is the best meal I've had in this city since Vue de Monde in 2019. I mean that.
