• Modern European • Covent Garden
Booked 117 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.

    Really great meal at Mildreds Covent Garden. The food was excellent and the service attentive but unobtrusive. There was a good bush, but not overly loud and we could easy converse. Really impressed, will come again.

    Service was impeccable. Fried Haddock was perfectly crisped but the mushy peas underneath it were our favorite part of our dinner. Wonderful cocktails, too!

    Love going to the HRC, we try to visit when in other countries if we can. Staff are always friendly and helpful. The music is always a good touch too when we hear old and new songs. We ordered the Salmon noodle bowl which was really tasty lots of flavour and a big portion and the chicken Messi burger, which again is full of flavour and very tasty, however on this visit the burger and chip portion didn’t seem to be as big as previous visits which was a little disappointing considering the price. However if you like apple cobbler you won’t be disappointed with the portion size or yummy home cooked feel. Definitely worth a visit

    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!
