• Modern European • Covent Garden
Booked 135 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.

Flesh & Buns Covent Garden is a blast! The place has an authentic Japanese drinking den vibe with draped fabric ‘noren’ screen curtains. It's a hit for groups of friends or colleagues meeting for lunch, dinner or their ever-popular Sunday Brunch. Reviews rave about the great food and atmosphere, and the fab service. It's also a fun spot for a pre-theatre dinner. So, it's not just about the food, it's also about the cool ambience and exciting cocktails!

    Cracking food, Roshana was looking after us, and she was incredible. Customer service is somewhat lacking in the majority of restaurants in London, however she was fantastic! Friendly, fun, and attentive. Thank you Roshana for a lovely evening xx Ps the potatoes are to die for!

    We celebrated a birthday with a bottomless brunch and had an amazing time! The food was absolutely delicious, with generous portions that left everyone satisfied. The selection of cocktails was fantastic, and everything came out quickly which was perfect for a 90 minute seating. Highly recommend!

    Loved it.. don’t go to the Ivy and think it’s “posh” it’s good food and service with “feel good” menu. Special mention to the service staff, Paulina and the short haired waitress. Creme brûlée needs to be in a ramekin and a crunchy top, not flat and sugary with a blow torch.. everything else is good.. see you soon.

    This was my first experience of Adam's new tasting menu which I thought was brilliant and definitely another major step up. The whole experience over 4 and a half hours was incredible.

    Went ALL IN for lunch. Perfect amount for 2 blokes washed down with a very pleasant pale ale. The service was excellent, very patient and they dealt with a dairy intolerance with clear understanding of what was possible. Will be going back as I want to try the steaks next. Great value business lunch in a super location.
