The Old Rosebud

The Old Rosebud is a spacious Turkish-Mediterranean cafe at 654 Darling Street, Rozelle, worth the trip for its generous all-day breakfast plates and genuinely warm welcome for dogs.

The dog setup. Dogs are welcome in the outdoor seating area, which is directly accessible from the pavement without needing to enter the venue first. Some reviews indicate they may also be permitted in the spacious indoor area. Staff are notably friendly to dogs, and water is generally on hand. Dogs must stay on-leash and well-behaved.

Good to know. The kitchen is known for Turkish-Mediterranean staples including manti and cabbage rolls, alongside corn fritters, spinach and feta omelette, and a vegan burger. Campos coffee and large portions make it a popular pick for long, casual lunches. It opens at 7:00 AM on weekdays and 8:00 AM on weekends, closing around 2:30 PM.

Getting there. Street parking is available on Darling Street and nearby side streets but can be tight. Hamilton Street Carpark offers free 2-hour parking from 8 AM to 6 PM, a short walk away. Several bus routes run along Darling Street.

Nearby. Continue the outing at The Balmain Hotel or little Ethel's, both a short drive into Balmain.

When to go. Weekdays are relaxed. Weekends get busy, so arrive early if you want the outdoor table with room to settle in.
