"Food and fun is one of our favourite combinations. Partly because we’re really into alliteration, but mostly because places like Roka prove that it’s perfectly possible to have a right laugh over dinner. This modern Japanese restaurant on Charlotte Street serves a whole lot of sushi, tempura, and robata skewers, but it’s the atmosphere that really sells it. Most of their tables are at wheelchair height, but there is some bar seating, so it’s worth calling ahead to make your booking rather than using their website." - heidi lauth beasley
