• 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.

Nestled in the heart of Covent Garden, our newest Gaucho location marks a return to London after a decade of regional expansion. Set within an extension of the iconic Royal Opera House, Gaucho adds a vibrant new chapter to one of the city’s most culturally rich districts.Inspired by the artistic energy of Covent Garden and the passion of Buenos Aires' tango clubs, the design of the restaurant features striking elements that reflect both the local heritage and our Argentine roots. On the ground floor, the atmosphere is bright and inviting—ideal for everything from Tango performances and relaxed business lunches to afternoon drinks. Downstairs, the basement offers a more intimate, theatrical experience, with rich, pleated curtain walls inspired by the dramatic red-draped stages of the West End.

The restaurant was really empty so we were worried about why but the food was reasonable and the green tea was good. Would I go again , I’m not sure as the atmosphere and vibe was disappointing. I can imagine it obviously would be better if there were more people in the restaurant
