Forming part of an old estate and located on the site of an old gunnery overlooking the Sir Francis Drake Channel, Brandywine Bay Restaurant, with its unassumingly elegant, flagstone dining room, has become a BVI institution.

The variable menu changes depending on fresh daily ingredients and choices range from home-made mozzarella, to Livorno-style stuffed rabbit, to calf's liver in crème de cassis, to Davide's signature roast duck.

A recent addition to Brandywine Bay Restaurant is the Cicchetti Lounge where guests can sample cicchetti (chi-KET-tee) - Venetian style tapas - such as bresaola & goat cheese, snail dumplings, and bacalao fritters.

Brandywine boasts an extensive martini menu complete with house specialties. Brandywine Bay Restaurant is open for dinner Monday through Saturday from 6.00pm. Reservations are recommended. Tel: 1 (284) 495-2301.
