I am loathed to tell everyone because it will be harder to get a table next time! This is simply a great place for Sunday lunch at the end of a walk.

Delicious food Very attentive friendly staff. I personally dislike supplement payments on a set menu. I prefer the restaurant to offer dishes that are on the set menu without tempting clients with more lavish ones for an extra cost

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.

How lucky to have such a great restaurant in Marlow. It feels like a trip to Italy on a Wednesday night or a visit to Capri with fun music and great food. So lucky to have this little gem in our lovely town. Thank you BRVTVS for giving us an energetic place to hang.

We were resident in the hotel and originally intended to visit Atul Kochar's restaurant Sindhu also located in the hotel. Sindhu was closed for a private party so we diverted to the Riverside. Originally we were dissapointed but that soon changed. The restaurant was excellent on all levels and the set menu at £35 for three courses was amazing value. Some of the older reviews are not encouraging particularly on the service front but they have clearly improved alot. We would highly recommend and we look forward to returning.
