La Strada is a cafe that serves a variety of European dishes as well as a selection of sandwiches, snacks and beverages. A takeaway menu is also available. This branch provides seating on the pavement area, weather permitting.
For 2 years I worked in Berkeley Square and would come to la Strada on a near daily basis. Was it for the friendliness of the staff, was it for the proximity to my work? Definitely yes to all of these questions. But over the first few months of going there and ordering my favourite, chicken escallop with roasted vegetables and cheese on a ciabata or focacia bread, they adapted an already great sandwich into a perfect one. What makes a great chicken escallop sandwich? Well first of all you need a good quality real chunky sized chicken breast that has been flattened into an escallop. Add to that fried peppers, aubergines, and courgettes. Then add some mozzarella cheese, put it all together in a ciabata or focacia bread and there you've got a picture of that sandwich above. Just writing this review makes me hungry. What are you waiting for, go to Landsowne Row and ask for the best chicken escallop sandwich in Mayfair.
