We celebrated our dating anniversary at The Ivy Asia, Chelsea, it was an amazing experience: the location was very easy to find, the atmosphere in the restaurant has been breath taking the attention to detail was impressive all dishes have been presented with grace and taste. I had the Salmon Teriakey and my partner had the BBQ pork belly, both dishes tasted DEVINE!!!! Stuffed aubergine , side dish was best aubergine we ever tasted, I wish there was a main dish consisting in that , it was a delight! For desert we had Samurai, a dish consisting in ice cream chocolate mousse brownies and brownie crumbs a sweet and consistent desert, enough for two people, definitely enough for sharing. Complementary we were offered Mochi ice cream with a Happy Anniversary message on a chocolate pice! It was an experience we both enjoyed very much and we look forward to our next visit to London to come back to The Ivy Asia ! Thank you very much!
