Roxy Catering   

Roxy has been an anchor establishment in Encinitas' strip of the Coast Highway for decades. The gourmet health food perfectly complements the section of beach town known for its embrace of the avant-garde. There are far more vegetarian choices on the menu than at most meat-serving restaurants, since Roxy was originally entirely vegetarian and many long-time regulars come specifically for the animal-free fare. The meatless dishes are attractive enough for even the most devout anti-veggers. Delicacies such as the sizzling tofu plate, the artichoker (a sandwich with marinated artichoke hearts) or the must-try falafel burger are vegetarian cuisine at its simple best. Fish and chicken have worked their way onto the menu and are presented along with the veggies in delectable preparations of sandwiches, pizzas and even casseroles. The calamari is a perennial favorite. Don't forget when the San Diego County Fair rolls around every year to stop by Roxy's booth for unconventional fair food. Roxy's desserts are also legendary, with boutique ice creams, homemade carrot cake and vegan chocolate chip cookies and raspberry tofu Teasecake.
