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!

Just a beautiful experience from beginning to end in one of Vancouver’s hidden gems. An amazing Caesar salad nicely tossed with one of the best dressings I can remember having on a Caesar salad. My wife’s French onion soup and braised beef ribs main course were spot on. The mushroom penne pasta was perfect. Our single server hustled effortlessly even dealing with a large family plus four other tables-kudos to her excellent service!

Second time here and really enjoyed it again. Small, intimate restaurant that offers amazing value. The food here is always excellent and the service friendly and helpful. They offer up a 3 course menu with choices and it is terrific value. My wife and I both had the same meal starting with baked onion soup that had outstanding flavours, followed by a crispy and tender duck confit and finishing with a hot apple crumble accompanied with ice cream. Just fabulous for $35 per person. Our friend had the same 3 course menu except he opted for the braised beef that he raved about. We'll be returning soon.
