Exceptional(5023)
Price: Very Expensive
• Modern European • Covent Garden
Booked 161 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.

Whether you’re settling in for a long lunch, grabbing a bite before or after the theatre, or just fancy a perfectly chilled martini at the bar, it’s the kind of place that feels special without being stuffy.The menu is all about top-quality British produce—grass-fed native-breed beef cooked over charcoal, sustainable seafood, and proper seasonal sides.

    Old Compton brasserie has become a staple for me and my partner over the years. Food is amazing, atmosphere is lovely and service is second to none. Everything about OCB is superb, including, of course, their location - right in the heart of Soho. Definitely coming back soon and can’t recommend this place highly enough. Thank you!

    Authentic Italian food, cooked to perfection. You would believe you were in an Osteria in a local Italian village. Pasta and Milanese outstanding. Well worth a visit.

    Hubby's birthday so quick trip to London to celebrate and booked a table at Seven Dials for lunch. Food was well presented and tasted amazing. Sides are for sharing so three between two was ample and could probably got away with two. Hubby enjoyed his can of beer, Hawksmoor own brand, and I loved the fact there was a decent choice of non-alcoholic beverages. The young lady serving us was great, even singing Happy Birthday to hubby when presenting him with his chocolates and birthday candle.

    We visit Ivy West Street every year, normally when we go to the theatre. The food, service and ambience are always first class. It is our guilty pleasure.

    Couldn’t have wanted for more. Unfortunately I have found restaurants can sometimes be lacking in quality and originality these day not at the Dean Street Townhouse they’re not. Original menu and fabulous food. The drinks weren’t bad either. The restaurant is beautiful comfortable and the atmosphere is both buzzy and relaxed. People that work there to a man and a woman are friendly, efficiently and wear their sense of humour lightly. We had guests join us for coffee and the restaurant was very accommodating. Can’t wait to go back.
