• Modern European • Covent Garden

Booked 149 times today

The Ivy restaurant has been a firm fixture on London’s dining and social scene since 1917. The restaurant and private room upstairs are the epitome of real glamour. A shimmering central dining bar in the restaurant draws admiring attention, and the signature harlequin stained-glass windows, oak panelling and striking contemporary art collection ensure the longevity of this very British of dining institutions. Executive Chef Gary Lee creates balanced seasonal menus, featuring Ivy classics, but accounting for today’s tastes, incorporating more Asian dishes, salads and vegetables, and the advent of a “sea and shells” section. Director Fernando Peire leads a strong and experienced team to deliver the unfaltering service for which The Ivy has become well known over the years. The Ivy welcomes customers without reservations at the central dining bar, where the A La Carte and Set menus are both served.

Restaurant was recommended to me by my son and didn’t disappoint. Great food , especially if you like your meat. We had the All In and there was more than enough for two but we finished it all. Very personal touch too as it was our anniversary and they gave us a complimentary dessert which we didn’t expect. We stayed on for a drink afterwards which we rarely do but atmosphere was so relaxed. Staff were lovely too.
