Rosine’s Restaurant
434 Alvarado St., Monterey 375-1400, rosinesmonterey.com
Nothing feels more natural than suggesting Rosine’s for a meal. Begun as a true family-owned family restaurant located in the heart of Old Monterey, Rosine’s has been making people smile for decades. Portions are generous and vibes are good. Enjoy a “Good Morning” of scrambles, sausages, and pancakes – any time before 3pm (even the hours are generous here). Go for tender calamari strips with friends for lunch. And after dinner, make sure to save room for one of Rosine’s famous sliced cake selections. Or skip dinner and just go for coffee and cake. Any pairing works here for hungry, happy families out to eat. They leave even happier, and a lot less hungry.
