Open from breakfast until late at night, La Roche offers a typical café menu with a couple of surprises. Wrought iron and timber tables and chairs spill out onto the sidewalk. Lamb on a spit provides a visual and olfactory focus point. You will also find an array of pastas, hamburgers, wedges and pizzas. The marinara is worth a mention for the quality of its seafood. But the highlight is the lamb, available on a platter or as a souvlaki. It is served a little crunchy without being dry—perfect! The accessories include good pita bread and salads.
