    As always, the entire visit to Lavendou was excellent! The food is lovely, and the wine list provides many choices. The service was outstanding and very helpful with suggestions. The service at Lavendou is a primary factor for us, and it has always been excellent. We went for lunch, the first time for a lunch visit without it being a special occasion. I would recommend it to anyone wanting to experience an intimate and unpretentious lunch with their spouse or significant other.

    We have been dining at Lavendou for years and we love it. It's a charming cozy informal French restaurant featuring deliciously prepared fresh food and a wait staff that is second to none. The owner is warm and friendly, the menu features everything from seafood to steak to more exotic French offerings, and the wine selection is a Wine Spectator award winner. Hanging out at the bar is also lots of fun..

    Just south of the Bush Turnpike on Preston you’ll find this bit of Provence in a strip center. Great Provencal ambience, excellent menu and distinctive personal French service. The ladies’ trout amondine was excellent. My somewhat dry and a little tough pork medallions were more than rescued by a wonderful sauce and tasty vegetable medley. Excellent wine list and very fairly-priced entrees. Very much worth the trip and we’ll be back.

    Great food always. The foie gras was amazing. The charcuterie board was awesome too. Lamb chops and pork were very tasty and cooked to perfection. Fries are exactly the same I get in French bistros. So so good! Dessert of apricot tart was delicious. Love this restaurant. I return routinely a couple of times a months. Highly recommended!

Truly one of our top choice for our date night or for entertaining friends. A special shout out to our favorite waiter, Raphael. Incredibly attentive to our needs and the details of service. Plus he is a great guy!!!

    Our go-to French restaurant. Could have ordered anything but this time settled on the fixed price menu during Dallas Restaurant Week to support North Texas Food Bank. Didn’t stop us from selecting a nice wine - Bandol was recommended and was perfect. My choices from the fixed price menu were exceptional. Restaurant was humming. Reservations always make sense here.
