If you live near Lavender Street, you might have seen a restaurant, Viva Lavender, while out and about. Taking a peek into the restaurant will reveal a cosy space that serves European cuisine with a unique Asian twist.
Built around 4 key pillars – Modern Tapas, Wood-Fired Grill, Steak, and Wine – the restaurant has recently also expanded its menu while keeping its signature dishes at the core of its dining experience.
New Selection of Tapas
To give diners more ways to start their meal at Viva Lavender, the restaurant has introduced new appetisers (Modern Tapas) made for sharing. These starters, some cold and some hot, are influenced by Spanish flavours and Asian ingredients.
A popular cold choice would be Salmorejo (S$12), a traditional chilled tomato soup finished with jamón serrano and hard-boiled egg. Prefer something hot for starters? Consider tapas like Smoked Japanese Mackerel (S$14) and Cod Fritters (S$18).
Signature Wood-Fired Grill
While dining at Viva Lavender, you can look forward to steaks prepared in a wood-fired Josper Grill. Used by some of the world’s most famous steakhouses, this type of grill is fuelled by wood, allowing chefs to control sear, smokiness, texture, and doneness according to the cut of meat.
For steak lovers, there are 8 different cuts of beef you can choose from – whether you’re enjoying your meat solo or with a group of friends. Individual options include Grass-Fed Spanish Bone-In Striploin (S$65), 450-Day Grain-Fed Shimo Wagyu Flap (S$48) and the Australian “Signature” Black Angus Ribeye (S$80).
Sharing cuts include Australian Black Angus Porterhouse (S$140), Butter-Aged “Sanchoku” Wagyu OP Rib (S$32 per 100g), and 1.6kg Dry-Aged Black Angus Tomahawk (S$28 per 100g). With the restaurant’s special wood-fired grill technique, you can expect just the right balance of tenderness and temperature.
Other Mains
If you prefer something less ‘meaty’, Viva Lavender’s menu also offers pasta, mains, and grains such as Miso Nori Spaghetti (S$30), Hokkaido Scallop Risotto (S$38), and Miso Black Cod (S$52). These dishes provide smoky, savoury flavours while allowing the natural quality of the ingredients to remain front and centre.
Much of what accompanies these dishes is prepared in-house, a testament to Viva Lavender’s handcrafted cooking style that complements wood-fired flavours. This includes sauces such as Red Wine Jus, Aji Verde, Chimichurri, and house-made chilli oils. You can expect every bite to be filled with natural flavours, enhanced with these accompaniments.
Wine and Lunch Promos
Talking about wine, the restaurant is currently offering 50% off your second glass of house pour wine and 20% off cocktails. Dubbed ‘Viva Hour’, this promotion is available from Monday to Thursday before 8pm, alongside your food order.
A 3-Course Set Lunch is also available on weekdays from S$29.00++, featuring a soup of the day, a choice of tapas, and a choice of main. If you’re in the area at lunchtime, that could be the best opportunity to check out Viva Lavender.
