- DDanialToronto / Ontario •1 review5.0Dined on 25 Oct 2026I had a truly amazing experience visiting lavender earlier this week. I had heard a lot of wonderful things about it from friends and family and was curious so I decided to book a reservation for my date. Upon arrival I was greeted and seated very quickly. They had a wide range of options that I'm looking forward to exploring but upon the waiters suggestion we tried the calamari the gnocchi and the ravioli and all of the above were truly spectacular. The service was fast and they took care to Make sure we weren't lacking anything. Additionally I wanted to say if you are in need of planning an event the venue seems perfect they have multiple areas with lavender flowers hanging from the ceiling which create an opportunity to create unforgettable memories.More infoLavender Grill & Lounge$$$$• International• ByWard Market•4.4
