RASA on Postcard

"Weekly visits to this gastropub might not be enough. Truly, few restaurants feel this relaxed and cook with so much gusto. Are you curious about those chickpea fritters with lemon mascarpone and wasabi or the truffle gnudi with pesto? You should be. Sea bream ceviche with chili oil is as bold as lamb vindaloo dumplings. In the end, no one cuisine can claim this endlessly tempting menu that delivers hearty, unfussy flavors in abundance. And yes, the burger is as good as it looks, the tender patty made with beef cheek, grilled, and served on house made brioche smeared in gochujang mayo. In total, the portions are generous so bring friends; the flavors are big so bring an appetite; and the satisfaction is high so count on a return visit." - Michelin Inspector

"Rasa has an always-changing menu that doesn’t stick to one cuisine, and you’ll regularly find things like lamb bacon and truffle gnudi with foie gras listed next to brussels sprouts with cauliflower cheese and scotch bonnet vinegar. The interior can be described as sort of ‘industrial-chic,’ but you should sit on the airy patio when you can, especially for Sunday brunch." - Katie Diamond

Their burger is as good as it looks. Super beefy taste and great texture from the beef cheek, while not managing to be greasy at all. Just great flavour. Chopped salad is also done really well here, with a combination of textures and flavours. Sea bream was also quite good; the fish is very hearty feeling and has a satisfying chew that feels substantial. We thought the fritters were actually the least impressive, as they turned out to be pretty salty.

Went for company Christmas dinner recently and this place was fun as heck. The appetizers were all tasty, was a big fan of the steak. Staff were all super friendly as well. To top it off their dessert was top tier, sticky bun and s'more sandwich, neither were super sweet but still decadent. Last to mentioned, I unfortunately don't drink, but their mocktails are pretty good and a good option to go for if you don't drink.

Restaurant boasts a lot of cultural elements and influences! I liked how the plates had different languages on them. Some dishes felt overly fusion but overall a good vibe and generous amount of food for the tasting menu!

They nailed the fusion concept as their food is creative and contains many interesting ingredients. I love the spicy ceviche. Chicken dish is a little bit irrelevant together; ribs are cooked well but seasoning can be improved slightly. Service and ambiance are great. Definitely worth a try.

Rasa isn’t just amazing, it’s epic! … and it’s all thanks to an incredible team that every day executes a perfect choreography. The result? Mouth-watering food and a relaxed, warm, and friendly atmosphere. You won’t even notice the staff but they’re constantly yet discreetly watching everything that goes on and they know exactly when to show up and take your dining experience to the next phase. The teamwork is as impressive as the flavors! There’s a reason they have been recognized by Michelin and I could have told you they were destined for greatness when I first dined here two years ago. If you’re a foodie, you KNOW when you’ve struck gold and Rasa is a rare gold mine. Every dish is unique and nothing you’ll ever have elsewhere. You better come here often because the menu changes seasonally and a dish you really loved just might be replaced (albeit by another dish you’ll really love!). The perfection is not limited to food and service. Their unique cocktail drinks are outstanding as well.

The restaurant is super cute and the staff are very friendly and attentive. The cheese breads were delicious and unique. The spicy ceviche was super flavourful and the peanut sauce was tasty. I had the rasa burger for my main which was also really tasty. We shared the sticky bun for desert and we quite liked it. The sweetness wasn’t too much. From 5-6 pm they have happy hours and the cocktails are 12$. My only quick note is that they don’t have the tasting menu until the patio season is over so sometime in October. Overall, we had an amazing experience and we liked all of our dishes. We will definitely go back to try the tasting menu.

The burger was unbelievably good, we ordered one extra even though we were full! It deserves a sixth star for all the creativity in the menu; small tweaks that make a big unique difference. Loved it!

Rasa is undoubtedly one of our favorite restaurants in the city. The food is unique and incredibly flavorful, with each dish showcasing a blend of vibrant ingredients. The portion sizes are generous and reflect the price, making it a great value for the quality offered. If there’s one dish I could eat every day, it would have to be their chopped salad—it's simply irresistible. Overall, Rasa is a must-visit for anyone looking to enjoy a memorable dining experience.
