University of Richmond Opens New Retail Dining Location Featuring Latin and Mediterranean-Inspired Menu

UNIVERSITY OF RICHMOND — The University of Richmond has opened a new retail dining location. FlavUR (pronounced flavor) is located in the Well-Being Center and offers a Latin and Mediterranean-inspired menu of signature and made-to-order bowls, wraps, smoothies, and breakfast all day. 

“We looked at restaurant trends and what was popular on campus,” said Tyler Betzhold, executive chef for University of Richmond’s Dining Services. “The flavors found in both cuisines offer endless customization, which our students love, while also being the basis of well-balanced meals.”

Like all other retail dining locations on campus, the University of Richmond owns and operates the café. A team of culinarians and dining staff researched menu options and developed test dishes. Campus community members were invited to sample the menu and provide feedback twice during the summer before the location opened in time for the fall semester.  

“FlavUR is the right concept at the right time for our campus,” said Upen Malani, executive director of Dining Services. “The team successfully paired popular items and flavors while focusing on nutrition and satisfaction. It’s already become a popular dining spot on campus.”
