Our first time at the Greyhound. We both had the tasting menu which was absolutely lovely. The service is excellent, and we were looked after superbly. It was much more than a meal and more like ‘an experience’. My partner and I were amazed when we left, that we had been there for almost 4 hours. Finally, you know you’re in a place that thinks of everything when they 1. Have a presentation box with different strength reading glasses for those of us that always forget our glasses. 2. At the end of the meal, you are given a bag with 2 gift boxes with breakfast for the next day. Superb all round and we will definitely be back.

We booked a lunchtime slot for a belated Christmas celebration with six family members who we didn’t get to see on the actual day. The restaurant was very tastefully decorated and we were shown to our table which was set in an alcove and felt quite special. The food and service were excellent and we will definitely be going again when we are in the area. Thank you Radhuni Lounge and restaurant for a great experience.

Marlow

About the restaurant

BRVTVS is a contemporary space where you can come for breakfast, a drink, a meal, or to enjoy the more energetic and friendly atmosphere later in the evening weekends where the vibe changes very quickly with the DJs spinning their perfect vinyl playlist to set the mood.

Music is at the heart of BRVTVS and it's the ideal place to share it through a soul, rare groove, modern funk and disco vinyl selection.

BRVTVS takes quality food, drinks & music seriously, giving the idea of welcoming customers in a warm environment with attention to every detail. The idea is to recreate, in a modern variety, the dishes of Italian traditional cuisine, that until a few decades ago were everyday’s food and drink in Italy. A great way to experience the Italian style of eating with simple and genuine recipes.

We often go to BRVTVS for a meal. The food is exceptional, and the service is always superb. And while you can get cheaper Italian food elsewhere - it is well worth the money to visit BRVTVS! I’ve never had a bad meal or experience here.
