Great value and very tasty French food. It was very quiet when we went, I don’t understand why it was so empty, as the food is great and the fixed menu was amazing. $35 included a choice of starter, main course and a dessert! I had French onion soup and the beef with mashed potatoes with the crème brûlée. Highly recommend!

Went for the prix-fixe menu, a tip from an acquaintance. Delicious meal, prepared and plated with care. My husband and I both had the braised beef, which was tender and flavourful and served with a generous portion of roasted veg. Apple crumble dessert was homey and not overly sweet, topped with a massive orb of vanilla ice cream. Delighted to find such a place in my neighbourhood, sorry it took me so long to discover you, Lavidas! Thank you for a lovely evening. We will be back!
