A photo of The Ivy West Street restaurant
1. The Ivy West Street
4.5
Awesome(4917)
Price: Very Expensive
• Modern European • Covent Garden
Booked 135 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.

    Loved it.. don’t go to the Ivy and think it’s “posh” it’s good food and service with “feel good” menu. Special mention to the service staff, Paulina and the short haired waitress. Creme brûlée needs to be in a ramekin and a crunchy top, not flat and sugary with a blow torch.. everything else is good.. see you soon.

    I’m a Hawksmoor fan and a regular whenever I’m in London. Seven Dials never disappoints in any way. I dined pre-theartre at 5:30. Tonight, a senior staff member came to my table - ‘Hi, good to see you back with us again’. The food is always top notch, but Paul’s visit made the evening memorable, particularly as I was alone. See you guys next time Cheers Paul

    Excellent as always I choose Cheese souffle which was amazing followed by Ray Wing with capers and a beautiful buttery apple pie with clotted cream and a well priced bottle of Lugana. If you like fish this for me is the best fish restaurant in London and steeped in so much history the staff are always so pleasant
