Although there was some confusion about if I could reserve a table a nice table in the window had been reserved for me and my nephew. He enjoyed his burger and it was kind of them only to charge for a child's meal as we hadn't realised this was an option. It was very convenient to be right next door to the Colisseum.

I like La Roche its simple but does really good food. Service is a bit flat at the moment but has been better. Ambience is much better now they have opened up the back of the floor, removing the chilled cabinet / counter for cakes. Definitely recommend it.

The service was good, staff were friendly and welcoming. Food was fine, but not part special taste-wise, it was nicely presented.

Rather disappointing. Not a particularly nice welcome. Very indifferent and couldn’t be bothered attitude. Grubby, well thumbed menus. Tried to order fries instead of mash due to dairy intolerance and “ not sure if it can be changed”. Luckily it was. Pork ribs were dreadful. Dry and overcooked. Fish and chips and the beef burger were very nice. Well cooked and presented.

Food is fine but rather overpriced. However atmosphere was very pleasant, staff friendly and efficient. Not too much noise so we could easily converse: There were 5 of us and we'd met for a catch up.

Really painful to report as La Roche has been a theatre land favourite of mine for well over a decade. There's been a change of focus and a new menu that stripped a lot of the mezze favourites and whereas the old place felt like a locals haunt in a Quarter of Paris it now feels, well... like it could be anywhere. Presentation was dry and under salted too.

Very average food with overinflated prices. Service from the two waitresses was friendly but they didn’t seem to know what they were doing and the manager was frankly a bit rude. Won’t be returning.

A simple delicious menu. Loads of fresh veg or salad included in price. Fresh fruit/veg smoothies fabulous. No silly prices, just great value

Sat outside in the evening and the Mixed grill and some drinks followed by dessert , everything very nice except my Lemon tart was quite dull with hard pastry but edible would have been good to get one which was a bit lighter with more zest to it. I'm not going to talk about value but if your eating out in London these days don't expecting anything cheap just enjoy the evening and pay the bill that works for me. Needless to say we have a good evening and will be going back.

We dined on a very busy night, but the food was absolutely delicious and there was plenty of staff around to help with anything we needed. We were very impressed.

Very slow service which was an issue when heading to the theatre. We had to rush and leave our food. Such a shame as food was good and surroundings lovely

Prime location adjacent to Coliseum theatre, we were able to eat pavement side which was a real boon in the heat. Speedy efficient service and very good value for the location. One of our group had some food intolerances but this was no trouble to the chef.

My absolute favourite place for breakfast. It’s peaceful, lots of light. I love to read or journal over an english breakfast with a coffee or cuppa.

The meal was great and so is this restaurant - we have been here in the past and noticed that the menu had changed, but it was just as good and we shall be visiting again soon!

Although we had booked for four in advance, our presence seemed to be a surprise and we didn't get a greeting of even a smile. The service was a bit slow, the food was middling and the ambiance was poor. However, it was reasonably priced.

Service with resentment. Food was cold. Ordered cocktails that were extremely poor class of cocktail. Unfortunately a very unhappy experience.

This place was a great little find. Perfect location for the Duke of York theatre and within easy walking distance from Charing Cross and Covent Garden. Our food was delicious. I can recommend the burger and fish and chips. A great varied selection on the menu. My mum and I will definitely be back.
