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.

It was the first visit but not the last. The food was outstanding, and the service was first-class. It was a quiet Saturday due to the school holidays, so we were fortunate to have a lovely ambience. The choice of tapas was excellent, and every dish was delectable. Our favourite was the Mushroom Croquette. Beautiful views of the river and tastefully decorated inside with a lovely Christmas atmosphere

It’s not always easy being a vegan and dining at a restaurant that doesn’t specialise but tonight I was blown away by the quality of the food which was so flavourful. There wasn’t a huge amount of choice for me but I had the Asian salad and the plant based curry and they were bursting with flavourful ingredients. It’s just an annoyance that there were so many vegetarian dishes that could have so easily be veganised. All five of us enjoyed our meals, the service was great - as always - and the cocktails were scrumptious. It is such a shame that the side of Brussels sprouts had butter on them meaning I couldn’t have them, and I absolutely love them so had to miss out for the sake of substituting cow butter with plant butter. But all in all it was a lovely night out and The Ivy put on so many speciality Christmas foods and drinks. If you’re a meat eater you will love this place as the food choices are vast.

This restaurant was strongly recommended to us by a friend who had very much enjoyed an evening there. The service was attentive and friendly. The menu was not too big and had a good cross section of dishes. The food was excellent, we will definitely return. The only thing to mention is the toilet is in the Unity building and requires staff to keep an eye out to let you back into the restaurant!
