• Modern European • Covent Garden

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 a pleasant surprise. Two of us had burgers, and the third had ribs. The burgers were excellent: the fillings, buns and fries were well-executed, and the drink complemented the meal perfectly. The ribs were tasty and well-prepared. Every element felt thoughtfully made and the effort was evident in the taste. The mac & cheese and wings were particularly impressive.

I had a really wonderful experience at The Hope. There were flowers and candles on the tables and some brilliant music playing. The atmosphere was lovely! I had the Vegan pie and mash and it was so lovely - I'll certainly be visiting on my lunch breaks again in the near future! The staff were really kind and helpful. A cute little traditional pub with great food.
