Our History
Report
When owner Abel Giandolini and Matre d'Htel Mario Gallati joined forces in 1917, their modest caf soon made friends and gained favour amongst the theatre community, and The Ivy was born. Subsequent redevelopments over the years have evolved the dining room as we know it today, a space closely resembling the grand restaurant created by the original duo back in their heyday.
Menus
Report
Executive Chef Gary Lee has created seasonal menus and set menus featuring Ivy classics alongside modern British dishes. Today's tastes have also been incorporated with the addition of more Asian-influenced dishes, salads and vegetables. At the cocktail bar, Bar Manager Darren Ball and his team have curated a list of original Ivy drinks and classic cocktails alongside old favourites with a seasonal twist.
Private Dining
Report
The Private Room at The Ivy in Central London is as glamorous and in demand as the restaurant downstairs. Up to 60 guests can be seated for a wedding breakfast, birthday and anniversary celebrations, corporate lunches or dinner, or 100 for cocktail parties, book launches and canap reception. Following an extensive refurbishment, The Ivy and its Private Room have a fresh new look, fashioned by Martin Brudnizki Design Studio.
