Best Canadian Restaurants in University Area

Our server, Beth, was lovely and personable. Food was excellent and great venue. Music could be turned down a bit to increase ambience

If you have a hearing loss and don't wear hearing aids, this isn't the place for you. I use hearing aids with a microphone for the 1 person I'm with, but if there are a few people, it would be difficult. The open ceiling, although a trendy look, it isn't good because the noise - music, conversations, laughter - bounce off the the metal ceiling and ductwork. Food is always good here. And if you're dining at the Bridges location, sitting outside by the water is very nice. My friend had the Lobster Roll, which she said was very good, but "definitely not a 'hand-held item' as listed in the menu. I had the Spicey Ahi Tuna Burger. Very tasty and it stayed together, but very messy. We did have slight problems with our server forgetting things we'd asked for - water, and part of my meal. As someone who uses a walker, I made sure to alert them when making my reservation on Open Table, but if it's a weeknight, and not too busy, they can likely accommodate whatever accessibility needs you have as a walk-in guest. It was busier than i expected for a Tuesday night. Overall a good experience.

One of my favorite restaurants. I have been coming here for years and it has always been delicious and an enjoyable time. Their summer patio set up is really pretty. It gives the vibe of a different ambiance that you could forget you're on West Hastings between towers. I hope they continue with it permanently.

We have returned to Lavidas several times and find that both the cuisine and the service are consistently excellent. A wonderful gem in our neighbourhood!

A wonderful neighbourhood joint. This pub has it all, good food, great service and the view of a lifetime. Thank you for a wonderful holiday get together.
