I’m so happy this place opened in Brickell! The food was super tasty — everything we tried was delicious. The service was amazing, everyone was really nice and friendly. Plus, the food came out really fast, which we loved — no long waiting at all! Honestly, there’s nothing I can even complain about. We ordered a few different dishes, and every single one was great. I’m just really glad to have such a nice spot so close to home. We’ll definitely be coming back a lot!

SoulEdge: Once in a Lifetime.. Since I was in the area, I decided to dine there. Inside is a good atmosphere, attention to detail service. I ordered Chicken Kyiv, a dish consisting of crispy, herb-stuffed chicken cutlet with garlicky green butter, served over mashed potatoes, demi-glace & broccolini. It was my first time trying it. I'm impressed, with its texture & well cooked broccolini. And for dessert, Apple Strudel with spiced apple chunks, served with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

First of all the atmosphere is quaint and has an Italian feel. We were in Miami 24 hrs and ate here twice because it was amazing. The owner is seen greeting and chatting with the customers and we learned in talking to him that the sauce is a family recipe that’s been in family for many years. It was actually the best red sauce I’ve ever had. The Caesar salad is the best ever! The servers are so friendly especially Silbana!! I highly recommend this place if in the Miami area. Very close to Port of Miami so you can easily come by if going on a cruise! Atmosphere at night was so amazing. We also had a beautiful lunch on our second day!

Lavka Gourmet Cafe satisfied the taste of the most fastidious guest, me! Rich borscht as they cook at my place with traditional serving of onion, mustard, fried bread and lard Juicy chicken cutlet Kyiv style stuffed with spicy herbs fried in batter And of course I couldn't pass by desserts, I especially like the pistachio dessert and chocolate potatoes And all this with the caring serving of waiters And by the way, if suddenly you want to buy traditional Russian European products, wines and desserts for your home, you have such an opportunity here Thank you "Lavka Gourmet Cafe" I am full and happy

Lavka Miami was such a pleasant surprise. I tried the cherry varenyky—perfectly balanced between tart and sweet—and the borscht, which came with rye bread and homemade “salo” ( pork belly) that literally melts in your mouth. The Olivie salad brought back memories of Eastern Europe, incredibly close to the traditional taste I grew up with. I also had the syrniki, which were soft, slightly sweet, and just right. Our waitress was a kind and friendly young woman who made the experience even better. Next time I’m in Miami, I’m definitely coming back.

I absolutely love this place! All the Russian dishes taste just like my grandma used to make — truly heartwarming. My American husband found his favorite traditional meals too, and our daughter plays happily while we get to relax. Such a warm atmosphere and delicious food. Highly recommend from the bottom of my heart!

A very charming cafe with great food. The owners are personally involved in the work and genuinely care about guests’ feedback, which is very impressive. We really enjoyed everything. They opened just two weeks ago and haven’t even had their official opening yet. They’re doing a fantastic job!

Lavka is an absolute gem! Their borscht is rich, flavorful, and tastes just like home. The chicken dumplings were tender and juicy — truly comforting and delicious. Highly recommend this spot for authentic Eastern European flavors!
