Hazel Grove’s La Roberto is an establishment clearly proud of its Romanian heritage, and what better way to celebrate one’s history and culture than with a culinary offering replete with dishes bound to make natives nostalgic and newbies awestruck. The a la carte menu at what has to be one of Stockport’s most interesting restaurants is monument to Romanian kitchen traditions – well annotated to boot and helped along by La Roberto’s knowledgeable staff (also always ready with a regional wine pairing suggestion). Anyone with any interest in global cuisine will be rewarded when they book a table at this London Road restaurant.
Various ciorba, soups, begin La Roberto’s menu. The ciorba de burta takes chopped tripe simmered in a beef and vegetable broth with cream, garlic, lime, and herbs. Already, this Stockport surprise demonstrates unique Romanian culinary style – what appears to be a hearty, wintry soup leavened with lime, of all things. Clearly an indication of Romanian cuisine’s complicated dialogue with western Europe and the Near East. A brilliant option when you dine with a group at La Roberto’s London Road premises are the sharing platters for two – seafood, mixed grills, and rolled minced meats. Finally, hop-heads, whatever you do, don’t leave Hazel Grove’s best kept secret without trying a traditional Romanian beer.
