Ah, The Ivy. Easily one of the most celebrated institutions in London's Theatreland, it hasn't been a restaurant to rest on its, erm, laurels. Not content to preside over London, The Ivy is now branching out across the country, with new outposts in Bath, Leeds and Edinburgh. And The City… Located on Old Broad Street, Ivy City Garden offers the same iconic menu in a more bucolic setting.

The dining room itself is nothing short of verdant. Guests can relax outside during London's nicer hours without a care for the elements, and during the more inclement periods dine underneath a retractable roof. There's a dark onyx bar begging to be patronised, a summer water fountain, floor-to-ceiling glass windows and, of course, a private garden that lends itself to tranquil al fresco dining. Stained glass lattice windows and funky art deco floors bring it home that you're at The Ivy. For those who want to do their business in private, there's an excellent room with views that seats up to 32 guests, perfect for driving home a deal. 

During our meal we availed ourselves of a Domaine des Cassiers Pouilly Fumé from the Loire Valley, which paired elegantly with all of the selections we made from the extensive menu. Tempura prawns served with green papaya, cucumber, edamame and a matcha tea sauce was a lively way to kick off the meal. However, we were transfixed by scallops served with a pea purée with broad beans, lemon zest, sea cress and crispy shallots. 

For our mains we continued with seafood, enjoying line caught swordfish with red pepper sauce, cherry tomatoes, toasted fregola, pesto, lemon and baby basil. A blackened cod fillet was incredibly sumptuous, baked in banana leaf with a miso glaze and served alongside a salad of spring onion radish and herbs with a yuzu mayonnaise. However, top trumps go to the dessert. We were absolutely smitten with the chocolate bombe, with a centre of milk foam, vanilla ice cream and honeycomb which melts underneath a torrent of hot salted caramel sauce. 

The Ivy seemed poised to take over the country, but they've already taken over the City, as their newest restaurant has already become wildly popular. 

 

Testimonials

I’ve been with Innerplace pretty much since they started which is over 21 years now. Whilst I have access to other concierges through work and credit cards, Innerplace will always be my go to due to their incredible service, friendliness, expertise, knowledge and most of all their ability to get me a last minute booking at the most in demand restaurants in town, even when fully booked!

In the last few years they’ve really upped their game in terms of members parties and access to events which as well as being fun are also great networking opportunities. Tim has put together an incredible team and its always a pleasure to speak with them over email, phone and also when I meet them in person.

Most recently I asked them to find me a venue for our work summer drinks as I wasn’t able to find anything within budget or with the required flexibility on numbers, food and drink. They found me an incredible venue which ticked all the boxes and they did all the leg work keeping me up to date and well informed.

Keep up the great work!

The team is always warm, friendly and incredibly responsive to any questions or requests. What also really sets them apart is the fantastic monthly members events they organise at stunning venues, where they put a lot of care into every detail. I can't recommend this company enough.

Testimonials

The service I have received from Innerplace has been superb every time, not just dinner or club reservations but also gigs, events and other lifestyle requests... In conjunction with the regular parties that you host I believe the membership is great value for money. Even helping me with a recent weekend trip to New York, which was exceptional. Everything ran like clockwork making my life a lot easier than it otherwise it would have been. A truly great service.
