Outstanding! Our first visit, and we were delighted on every level. Lovely relaxed atmosphere, warm, friendly, polished, professional, helpful service, a menu on which every option appealed, great quality wine list, and every dish we tried was beautifully and thoughtfully created and presented. The level of care is obvious, and the results spoke for themselves. Every dish was singing in its own distinct way. A wonderful evening in every sense, they really couldn't do more.

The Ivy Belfast is an experience. Great location looking out at City Hall, and the decor is beautiful, complemented by well-presented and friendly helpful staff. The set Taste of Ireland menu is good value, with the option of a glass of wine for £5. It’s worth the climb up three sets of stairs to see the private dining room and the ladies toilets. It was appreciated that the member of staff recognised the occasion and marked it with a complimentary chocolate cake

Excellent as always - food was delicious especially the the scallop ceviche and the langoustine fritters. The highlight of the meal was the roast banana ice cream and peanut espuma - rich, creamy and crunchy, but not overly sweet.
