$$$$Price: Very Expensive

• Modern European • Covent Garden

Booked 98 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.

lovely festive look & feel. we were situated upstairs where it was likely challenging for staff to keep coming up & down. we had 3 different people serving us - understandable. They were very pleasant but due to Christmas season it became very loud and hectic. I’m supposing this was simple the holiday vibe? Our food was excellent for the price and I’d like to go back when it’s NOT so busy. But I think I’d prefer to sit downstairs next time as 3 flights of stairs to the ladies was a bit much. Thanks. Gaye

Having wanted to dine at The Ivy since I was 20 and now late 50's it was one of my favourite experiences in London with my children. It did not disappoint. The service was superb, the waiter quickly realised my son has special needs and reacted accordingly, without judgement or prejudice, which was a refreshing change from other London venues we have been to. The food was the best I have had in years. Thank you!
