La Rose Cafe - Sydney

I was a little upset at having to wait 15 minutes for a ready made sandwich, but when it was the wrong one I decided that I was more than a bit upset. Anyway the food was okay, the coffee was fine, but don't expect china cups ( everything is in take way products). So for a quick eat or a take away this might be okay however there are many more better options in the CBD and even better options in the basement food court. Definitely not returning.

Been going here for 7 years and always consistently good. Open all day for food - a real plus if going to an early concert. Try the Funghi white pizza with home made chili oil plus any of the excellent salads. Wines a bit expensive but all good and some lovely Italian ones not normally found.

Great atmosphere at the strand Sydney ,friendly welcome.Food menu is good lots of choice.I had pizza with was good.The wine list is very expensive ,i would say the average price was in the $100.00 range.Service was a little haphazard,up to 3 waiters tried to serve us.Seems like the was no co ordination .The head waiter needs to be in the dinning room a bit more and do his job.

Nice restaurant on the third level of an indoor mall. Although there were many fine offerings on the menu, my wife and I weren't that hungry so we split a pizza and salad. Both were excellent. The decor and seating were very nice. We had a window seat and a great view of nighttime Sydney.

Having dined at Pendolino's earlier this year and enjoyed a superb dining experience, I took my family, visiting from Queensland, up to the sister cafe La Rosa, on the 3rd floor of the Strand Arcade. All I can say is...Try it! Great service, excellent food and very fairly priced. It's away from the hustle and bustle of the noise dowstairs. A calm haven before diving back into all that Sydney has to offer.
