• Modern European • Covent Garden

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.

    We loved the experience. My daughter has a severe nut allergy (specially walnuts), and we loved their determination to adapt and effectively communicate what she could and couldn’t eat. They have a detailed allergen menu that you can check beforehand in their web, which we did. Our server was great, very attentive and knowledgeable in the allergy matter, we didn’t catch his name but he was tall, I imagine the other servers are also educated, but we wanted to thank him for the experience. The food was very good, you could see the founder is danish as the salmon and back cod dishes were excellent quality (we’re Spanish so we’re used to better tuna but this one was really good nevertheless). our favourite was the black cod maki with red onion.

    As a design historian, I have been dying to eat in this magnificent, historic building for years, and finally got my chance: the experience was definitely worth the wait! The front of this Modernist building has been restored from the original UK headquarters of Michelin Tires into two Claude Bosi restaurants. We ate at the casual oyster bar on the old garage level, which has a slim, but excellent menu (that also includes vegetarian and non-seafood items). The ambiance is spectacular, as one is surrounded by historic painted tiles featuring turn-of-the-century racers whose vehicles sported Michelin tires, a floor mosaic of Bibendum "toasting" all comers, and grand metalwork with the company's inital. The lovely, generous host allowed me a peek at the glamorous, formal upstairs dining room (which had not yet opened) so I could admire the stained-glass windows with unique Bibendum motifs in each. He also regaled me with interesting stories about the more recent history and renovation of the building. All of the staff were fantastic and attentive, but the oyster bar host was truly amazing--I am grateful he indulged me my every curiosity about the building! THANK YOU, Bibendum Oyster Bar staff for a memorable evening!

There were two tables celebrating birthday during our meal, all staff just came out and sang for celebrants, such warm mood in the restaurant. Our server Fabrizio was very friendly and we are grateful that he took good care of us. Must come again soon!
