I visited Lavanderia for dinner 3 weeks ago on a Thursday night with 2 friends. We hit it off with our waiter David, who treated us to excellent service all night.
We were celebrating my friend's bday so we decided to splurge a little... We split a bunch of appetizers, a main and some desserts. And the drinks kept coming ;)
I tried some of the ceviche + the homemade bread option (so delicious!) + the trio of empanadas. Everything tasted great. As a main, we split the short ribs and some yuca fries. The yuca fries were a little too starchy in texture but I enjoyed it with the chimichuri sauce that we asked for. The short ribs were yummy but too fatty for my liking. The flavour was great though. I really liked the South American inspired drinks, with caipirinhas and pisco sours on the menu.
The desserts were beautifully presented and tasted good. At around $80-100 per person (depending on how many drinks you order), it's very pricey and a nice treat on a rare occasion. Will be going back to try sister restaurant Park next, which is a few doors down. Also want to try Cafe Bazin!
