What a wonderful meal! My friend and I picked Lavande on a whim off of Yelp after seeing the Opera…read morethat evening based on the great reviews. We were pleasantly surprised at how great this place was. From the service, to the ambiance and excellent music choices of Lana Del Rey playing in the background, to the delicious meal we enjoyed everything was top notch!
We ordered a bottle of the Sancerre which was delicious. I highly recommend this light and refreshing French wine. Then we enjoyed the three item starter where you can pick three menu items off the starter list. We chose the smoked salmon, roast beef, and vegetable stuffed with cheese. All three were excellent and this was accompanied by a selection of different breads. For our mains, we ordered the puff pastry stuffed with courgette, carrot and goat cheese, tomato purée and chickpea gnocchi and the ravioli stuffed with ricotta, wild nettles, and sundried tomatoes with lemon confit sauce. Each bite was better than the last! Pretty great vegetarian options here, making you forget that they're even vegetarian. These dishes were so unique and flavorful.
We also were able to catch an excellent showing of fireworks that went off over the water in front of the restaurant! They let us leave our table for a brief moment to walk outside to view the fireworks. Dinner and a show, oh my! This was the perfect way to end our classy evening at the Opera. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone traveling to Prague. My only complaint is that we didn't get the opportunity to enjoy what looked like a delicious dessert menu. The kitchen was closed by the time we were ready to order. I guess I will have to return on my next trip to Prague to give it my fullest effort!
