The Ivy arrived in Kensington last year with a bang. It's always full of interesting people. The menu has something to offer everyone. The chicken pie , steak frites and fresh fish are always a hit.

Fabian Martin

Good but not great. Had the duck liver which was very good, the steak tartare which was meh (too many herbs and not meaty enough) and the chicken milanese which was very good, tender and delicious.

Clara Eloy

Had the duck liver , chicken milanese and steak tartare . The duck liver was good, Chicken milanese very good and steak tartare okay. Way too much herbs that were overpowering

The atmosphere and the food is great, I had the chicken Milanese and it was very good, also the lunch menus looked like they were a great value for money the service could be better.

This cafe targeting wide range of preferences always sparks excitement as one enters through the drapers hanging from a high-ceiling saloon. Enjoy sandwiches , seafood , meats and eggs in glamour.

The Ivy Kensington Brasserie's swarming pewter-top bar calls to mind the 1990s heyday of its sister restaurant that was often called Kate Moss’s second living room. Read more

Catherine Klaffer

Fabulous wine ???? list. Will let you in w’out reservation but perhaps give time limit. Blackened cod is delicious

Yousif Al-Shaikh

the menu is mostly seafood which is not my cup of tea . However, the few chicken and pasta dishes there did not disappoint at all. The restaurant is elegant and clean . But almost always crowded .

Sandra Sporrenstrand

Try the Eggs Benedict, a classic. With a healthy - and pretty - "Green Juice ".

Ann Donnelly

Take video when they bring out the chocolate bombe . Didn't realise it's an experience! Tastes lovely too!

Becky Jagger

Tuna carpaccio , aromatic duck curry and the famous Ivy chocolate bombe dessert = fantastic food, great company

Tom Layman

The fish special and this month the venison is outstanding! Do not pass up the Chocolate bomb-a.

Gordon Charlton

If you're not very hungry you may want to order a starter instead of a main course as the portions are more than adequate.

Abu Aya KD

Lobster asparagus salad is fantastic.

Everything was wonderful except the chips . Dry not crisp on outside. Not to my taste, anyway, so if you can do without, do without.
