Exceptional(5095)

$$$$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.

It was good in general but rather bland; not sure if that's a general feature of British food.

If you like fish this is the place to go. It is without doubt the best fish restaurant in London, although they do do other things. It's a great place with lots of theatre based history and is a must visit for any foodie. But it's pretty expensive, and there's no pre-theatre option, which is a shame.
