The Ivy
Classic British establishment and pre-theatre dining venue since 1917



Best known as a hub for celebrities, actors and aficionados of the arts world, The Ivy’s history as a refined dining establishment is one defined by class, see-and-be-seen scene and top-notch martinis. Renovated with interiors by Martin Brudnizki Design Studio, the venue’s wood panelling and stained glass windows have been matched with a shiny new bar, booth seating and art by Damien Hirst and Maggi Hambling, awarding the venue its classic British character. Devised by executive chef Gary Lee, the menu dabbles between classic Ivy favourites and modern, lighter additions, allowing Lee’s signature Asian influences to shine.
