Breakfast is lovely here. Everything tastes fresh and flavourful. I definitely was satiated. The chicken sausages were okay, seemed store bought so perhaps those could have been better, maybe get a local farm source? The service was excellent and I enjoy this restaurant each time I visit.

Thursday lunch was packed - not an empty table. Very pleasant house white wine. I had a regular mussels with fries. Huge portion of fries (little too salty but delicious) and the mussels were large. Very pleased with my choice. Croque monsieur was the other choice. Generous sandwich also delicious ! Friendly efficient service. Will return

A lovely experience. Melissa, our server, was excellent. Lots of interesting choices on the menu. Our food - lox bagel, avocado toast- and coffees were delicious. All 3 of us will definitely return.

Lavidas is not a new fancy place; but they've done what they can to make it nice for their guests. It appears clean and reasonably kept up. The server is a very pleasant person who remembers my favourite drink and is sincerely happy to have my wife and I back as guests. The menu isn't big, but it doesn't have to be, as everything on it suits me just fine. Beef, duck, seafood pasta, muscles, etc. and plenty of good appetizers, are all exquisitely well prepared and are as good as any top restaurant in flavour. The portions are plenty enough to be able to take some home; but it's difficult to do when one is enjoying one's meal that much. The value is absolutely unbeatable! Never mind the decent prices for everything, they have an appetizer, main, and dessert package for a crazy reasonable price. Enjoy!

Mel was on queue as usual. We arrived and there were wine glasses and a craft waiting for us at our table. It wasn’t a big meal or a big drink evening, but it was just catching up with an old friend. Our orders came promptly, and correct. Anna, Alannah, Morez, came by to say a warm hello. All in all, a very nice evening.
