A NEW café restaurant has opened in Thornbury high street.
Tesoro Lounge opened its doors for the first time on Thursday, June 1.
The new eatery is located in the old Prezzo building which unexpectedly closed its doors earlier this year in February.
It has been completely transformed with retro-inspired decor, groovy artwork and trendy furniture.
Its all-day menu includes everything from tapas and salads to burgers and buttermilk fried chicken, as well as vegan and gluten-free options.
A spokesperson said: “Hooray, we’re open! Come along and see what we’ve done to the building – it looks very different to how it did a few weeks ago.
“We think you‘ll be chuffed to bits with the finished result!”
The restaurant's owner is Loungers UK, which has more than 200 sites across the UK.
They previously said its new Thornbury venue would 'represent an investment of £1 million' and create 30 new jobs.
The company describes their restaurants as a “neighbourhood café/bar combining elements of a restaurant, British pub and coffee shop culture.”
It is also the company behind the Cozy Club chain, was originally founded in Bristol 21 years ago in 2002.
Gemma Irwin, community manager at Loungers, previously said: “We are delighted to be bringing Loungers to Thornbury.

“They are actively encouraged to connect with their communities by working with local groups, charities, organisations and businesses that are at the heart of the fabric of local life.
“We are very much looking forward to welcoming local residents to the Tesoro Lounge.”
A spokesperson added: “Loungers has transformed 14 The High Street into a retro-inspired retreat.
