Tavus Lounge & Grill is a Mediterranean and Turkish restaurant on the Boardwalk at Brighton Marina. Its waterfront setting, spacious dining room and lounge atmosphere create a relaxed place for dinner, drinks and group celebrations beside the harbour.
The grill is central to the menu, with chicken and lamb shish, mixed grills, lamb chops and ribs drawing on Turkish marinades and charcoal cooking. Beyti brings seasoned meat together with flatbread, tomato sauce and yoghurt, while steaks provide another substantial choice from the grill.
Seafood and vegetable dishes broaden the selection beyond meat, supported by salads, mezze and warm breads that lend themselves to sharing. Ordering several starters before a grilled main is a natural way to explore the menu and balance smoky, savoury and fresh flavours.
Cocktails and a broad drinks list reinforce the lounge character and make the restaurant suitable for a longer evening rather than a quick meal. The marina outlook works equally well for couples, family dinners and larger groups looking for generous Mediterranean food in a distinctive Brighton setting.
Address: 3 The Boardwalk, Waterfront, Brighton Marina, Brighton BN2 5WA, England
