Tell the Lettuce Apart while their dining compatriots struggle to settle on their choice amongst 50 different items. Rather, they ve been happy to have take their fill from the selection of hot and cold dishes, salads, dips, dressings, quiches and breads.
Vegetarian dishes are also abundant on the a la carte menu.
Norbert Kettner, owner and chef in the kitchen, explains that it s no mere quirk of the restaurant or an over-zealousness for vegetables that has prompted them to serve so many vegetarian dishes. Norbert and his wife, Juanita, have run La Cucina for six years, and were first in cramped but nonetheless cosy premises at the Oudehuis Centre in Somerset West before they relocated to the Checkers Centre earlier this year. Booking is recommended for lunch and essential for dinner. It is also available as a venue for functions catering to up to 100 people.
