The establishment offers reasonably-priced, hearty North American and British fare. House favorites include the Shepherd&#8217;s Pie, stuffed Yorkshire Pudding, fish and chips, and chicken pot pie. For health-conscious Vancouverites looking for something a little lighter and &#8220;west coast&#8221;, Rosie&#8217;s also features delicious items such as the Thai Chicken Salad, Veggie or Salmon burger, and the chicken and mushroom penne.<\/p>\n<p>At lunch time, most entrees are in the $10 to $14 range which is quite reasonable considering the restaurant&#8217;s convenient location and proximity to venues such as Rogers Arena, BC Place Stadium, the Queen Elizabeth Theatre and the Centre for Performing Arts. A 10 minute walk up Robson Street will bring you past the local <a href=\"http:\/\/www.vpl.ca\/\">library<\/a> (book lovers unite!) to Vancouver&#8217;s famed upscale <a href=\"http:\/\/www.robsonstreet.ca\/\">shopping district<\/a> with the likes of Tommy Hilfiger, Le Chateau, and lululemon.<\/p>\n<p>I ordered the Salmon Pesto Penne ($15, pictured below) which was served with diced tomatoes, broccoli, and walnuts in a pesto parmesan sauce. It tasted as good as it looked!<\/p>\n<p>Stepping into Rosie&#8217;s and experiencing the comfort food and decor of a British Pub is a refreshing change from the mostly-similar and ultra-modern trendy places which seem to be popping up these days. Don&#8217;t expect to be wowed by super-slick staff sporting the latest in cosmetic enhancements &#8211; instead you&#8217;ll enjoy a down-to-earth dine on delicious and honestly good victuals.<\/p>\n<div style=\"width: 700px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/gpeters\/5457747353\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" title=\"Salmon Pesto Penne from Rosie's on Robson (British Pub-style restaurant in downtown Vancouver BC Canada)\" src=\"http:\/\/www.dineouthere.com\/images\/rosies-robson-02.jpg\" border=\"0\" alt=\"Salmon Pesto Penne from Rosie's on Robson (British Pub-style restaurant in downtown Vancouver BC Canada)\" width=\"690\" height=\"460\" \/><\/a><p class=\"wp-caption-text\">Salmon Pesto Penne from Rosie&#39;s on Robson (British Pub-style restaurant in downtown Vancouver BC Canada)<\/p><\/div>\n<div style=\"width: 700px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/gpeters\/5457747651\/in\/photostream\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" title=\"Salmon pesto penne pasta from Rosie's on Robson, restaurant in downtown Vancouver BC Canada.\" src=\"http:\/\/www.dineouthere.com\/images\/rosies-robson-01.jpg\" border=\"0\" alt=\"Salmon pesto penne pasta from Rosie's on Robson, restaurant in downtown Vancouver BC Canada.\" width=\"690\" height=\"816\" \/><\/a><p class=\"wp-caption-text\">Salmon pesto penne pasta from Rosie&#39;s on Robson, restaurant in downtown Vancouver BC Canada.<\/p><\/div>\n<p><object classid=\"clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000\" width=\"690\" height=\"460\" codebase=\"http:\/\/download.macromedia.com\/pub\/shockwave\/cabs\/flash\/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0\"><param name=\"flashvars\" value=\"offsite=true&amp;lang=en-us&amp;page_show_url=%2Fphotos%2Fgpeters%2Fsets%2F72157626085127196%2Fshow%2Fwith%2F5457849764%2F&amp;page_show_back_url=%2Fphotos%2Fgpeters%2Fsets%2F72157626085127196%2Fwith%2F5457849764%2F&amp;set_id=72157626085127196&amp;jump_to=5457849764\" \/><param name=\"allowFullScreen\" value=\"true\" \/><param name=\"src\" value=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/apps\/slideshow\/show.swf?v=71649\" \/><param name=\"allowfullscreen\" value=\"true\" \/><embed type=\"application\/x-shockwave-flash\" width=\"690\" height=\"460\" src=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/apps\/slideshow\/show.swf?v=71649\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" flashvars=\"offsite=true&amp;lang=en-us&amp;page_show_url=%2Fphotos%2Fgpeters%2Fsets%2F72157626085127196%2Fshow%2Fwith%2F5457849764%2F&amp;page_show_back_url=%2Fphotos%2Fgpeters%2Fsets%2F72157626085127196%2Fwith%2F5457849764%2F&amp;set_id=72157626085127196&amp;jump_to=5457849764\"><\/embed><\/object><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.urbanspoon.com\/r\/14\/740974\/restaurant\/Yaletown\/Rosies-on-Robson-Vancouver\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"border: medium none; width: 200px; height: 146px;\" src=\"http:\/\/www.urbanspoon.com\/b\/link\/740974\/biglink.gif\" alt=\"Rosie's on Robson on Urbanspoon\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Rosie&#8217;s on Robson (website, menu, map, 298 Robson Street, Vancouver, BC, Canada, phone: 604-689-4499) is a casual British pub -style restaurant located in the heart of downtown Vancouver&#8217;s entertainment district.
