About this restaurant

Romantic
Neighborhood gem
Innovative

We are a Modern European restaurant offering a range of locally sourced, freshly prepared, and seasonal dishes with a heavy Mediterranean influence.

Our signature dishes include: duck confit with red wine jus, chicken wrapped in smokey bacon served with Brandy-infused onion gravy, and 6-hour lamb shank.

Our Lemon & Vanilla cheesecake is everyone's favourite, and is served with a tangy berry compote.

Lavanda is one of the first restaurants in Dublin to offer Croatian wines on the menu. You can order these by the glass, if you want to try more than one type!

Don't be put off from the outside. I guess this place is the perfect quintessential hidden gem. Four of us went there on a Tuesday night, so we had the restaurant to ourselves. Two fussy eaters, and two who enjoy a challenge. We were all very pleased! The duck confit was the best he had, so the girls also ordered it to share, and devoured every scrap. That was after lovely starters. I had the chicken in tomato-based sauce and boiled potatoes, which I found disappointing. Thin slices of chicken which lacked flavour, and the tomato sauce needed to cook for another hour or so: bland. But that won't deter me: I saw lots of other dishes I want to try. The menu changes regularly, and so we will be back ... soon. We really appreciated the staff meeting our requests, when we only arrived at about 9.15. We had a lovely evening, enjoyed by all. Give it a go, it's reasonably priced, of a high standard, and the atmosphere is what you make of it. Thanks Lavanda.

I had the pleasure of dining here last Saturday evening, Whilst we thought the restaurant was slighty on the small side and had a large party of tourists in our misgivings were soon put to rest when we met our convivial host. The Croatian wine to my simple taste was beautiful and that set the tone for what was to come. The food was superb, every course a winner, the lamb shank was the best I've ever eaten and my fellow diners agreed. Do your mouth a favour and pay a visit, if you dont agree your tastebuds are broken. Cannot wait to return.

No way this place is a 5. Food was good but not great and wine was bad. Sent back the first glass. And the bathrooms are not very nice. Good value, but they need to update their menu on Open table.

We had a wonderful experience at Lavanda. Half of our large party (10) were running late due to a pre-booked taxi (Lynk...) being 40 minutes late. This was unfortunate, as we were trying to make a scheduled concert after dinner. The proprietor, Robert Velic, was very understanding and welcoming, kind, and had a good sense of humour. He attended to us immediately and our drinks and food were served both quickly and gracefully, without a sense of rush. The food was really excellent, too. We look forward to returning to Lavanda again for a relaxed meal that we can savour, as well as another encounter with Mr. Velic, a real gentleman.

It was a quiet small venue and we were not sure at first if it was opened, however once inside the owner was very hospitable and the food excellent! Great presentation and portions sizes.
