What to Order: Try the baba ghanouj, kabob at La Roche

The little house on Cooper Street has reincarnated yet again, this time as La Roche, a Lebanese-Armenian restaurant.
We can get into the lineage of 916 Cooper St. in a moment. But first, the new spot. As reported by The Daily Memphian’s Sophia Surrett, La Roche’s owner Mounir El-Mourabi owned Cedars Restaurant but sold his interest in the Cordova location this year.
He opened La Roche in September with a remodeled interior and multilevel patio. At this time, they offer a short-and-sweet menu with cold and hot appetizers and entrees.
