Best Contemporary British Restaurants in Fulham

Food, drinks and service was all good. Definitely a go to place. My only criticism is it is not warm enough in the place. Feeling cold whilst eating is not the best. Take a jacket!

The food and drinks at this restaurant are delicious. You are going to pay accordingly, but expect to have a solid meal and very good drinks. The atmosphere is beautiful — the restaurant is well decorated. It’s not too loud and not too crowded, which makes it feel pretty posh. However, we had a very odd experience with our server Nelson. He didn’t even say hello or good evening when we arrived and he just raised his eyebrows and said “yes please” when he took his notebook out to order. While I am all for efficiencies (I used to be a server and a bartender for 3 years), part of the hospitality business is…hospitality. This man expressed no smile, no emotion, and no sense of humanness. It was so weird. One of the ladies who appeared to be a manager came over to take our dessert order and she was very friendly, but we couldn’t understand why Nelson was so extremely cold. It appeared that this was his demeanor towards other tables as well. We arrived 5 mins early, didn’t take long to order drinks and food, and didn’t linger. What was his issue? We will never know. We will definitely be back to the Ivy, but will request to not have him as a server.

The food was delicious and the portions were generous. The traditional fish and chips and the classic shepherd’s pie were mouthwateringly tasty. For dessert, we had the Ivy chocolate bombe to share paired with some Earl Grey tea which was delightful and rich. Overall, the service was slightly slow but the waitress Rhea was pleasant and personable on approach. Thank you for another lovely experience!

The experience was beyond perfect. Everyone was so nice and the dishes were excellent. I highly recommend the Wellington, it was amazing! Thank you for everything!

Today, my friend and I had a wonderful experience at The Ivy Victoria Brasserie. We had lunch from the special offer 1917 menu. The food was delicious and perfectly cooked - so fresh and beautifully presented. The service was excellent, both on arrival and throughout the meal. Our delightful waitress, Ahlam, deserves a special mention for looking after us so attentively. She was very courteous, friendly and most helpful - nothing was too much trouble. Furthermore, we were allowed to occupy our table for way beyond the allocated time. My friend and I greatly appreciated this, so much so that we will be booking to return in a couple of weeks :-) Thank you, Ahlam!
