Rosa Rosa, Portland

As I sit here and begin writing about Rosa Rosa, all I can think about is their bread pudding french toast. Yes, that's right. BREAD PUDDING FRENCH TOAST. Not one or the other, but best of both worlds! Honestly, I don't even know how to describe it except that it was topped with cherry almond custard, fruit preserves, maple syrup and so so so delicious! Perhaps I should have tried to convince Chef Kenny to give me the recipe when we chatted about food as he kindly showed us around the restaurant. Oh well... guess I'll just have to go back to Portland soon. Besides the bread pudding french toast, we also had the eggs fra diavolo (two eggs baked in a spicy tomato sauce, onions, mozzarella, pizza bianca) and the eggs benedict (poached eggs, proscuitto cotto, hollandaise, english muffin, breakfast potatoes). Both were also very tasty! Rosa Rosa is such a fun (and cute) brunch spot located at the Dossier Hotel in downtown Portland. I love the space oh-so-much that I am embarrassed to tell you how many photos I took there. Enough said, you gotta check out Rosa Rosa yourself.
