About this place
One memorable lunch dish at Lapis Lazuli is a vivid red chilled beetroot soup topped with red pepper mousse. One diner who enjoyed lunch had expected the beetroot to taste tart, but found the soup refreshing and sweet alongside the mousse. The topping gives the dish a different character, making it an appealing choice whether it appears as the soup course or is listed on its own.
One account of lunch also mentions marinated scallops with tomato salad, followed by a main of beef offal—gizzard tripe, known as giara—simmered with beans and tomato. The diner described the giara as tender enough to fall apart, offering a sense of the meal’s progression from seafood starter to meat. The menu also lists roasted venison leg with cassis sauce, Japanese Black wagyu steak and a pork shoulder cutlet, giving diners several options for an evening focused on meat.
Pasta options include carbonara and a bolognese made with Japanese Black wagyu, beef tendon and beetroot; half portions are listed too. That makes it easier to share several dishes or add a little pasta alongside a main. Dogs are welcome, and the menu includes dishes for them, such as chicken breast and root vegetables simmered together, or beef tendon with root vegetables. For a meal that includes a plate for a canine companion as well, these options add a distinctive touch.
