Price: Very Expensive
• Modern European • Covent Garden
Booked 142 times today
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.

Hawksmoor Seven Dials – Steak, Seafood & Cocktails in Covent Garden.Tucked away in a former brewery just off Seven Dials, Hawksmoor is the spot for seriously good steak, seafood, and cocktails right in the heart of Covent Garden. Whether you’re settling in for a long lunch, grabbing a bite before or after the theatre, or just fancy a perfectly chilled martini at the bar, it’s the kind of place that feels special without being stuffy.The menu is all about top-quality British produce—grass-fed native-breed beef cooked over charcoal, sustainable seafood, and proper seasonal sides. And if you’re around on a Sunday, the roast is not to be missed: dry-aged beef, crispy beef-dripping roast potatoes, and ginormous Yorkshire puddings. Basically, great food, good people, and a place you’ll want to come back to.

    The Monday night offer at Hawksmoor where you can take any bottle of wine for £5 corkage is fantastic. It allows you to have a great steak (why would you order anything else) without a massive bill. The steaks are always cooked to perfection and taste delicious. We had a slight delay in one of our starters and the waitress who dealt with the problem immediately took it off the bill, without any of us saying anything. Fantastic customer service that was demonstrated by all the team - professional, helpful, and friendly. A great place for a meal out with friends and colleagues on a Monday evening.

    Great food, Asian fusion with a nod to Spain (padron peppers) all very good. Shame there was only one dessert on offer.

    Greeted at the door by the doorman and told to have a nice evening. Front of house took my coat and bag and said my table was ready early. The sparkling/still water I’d requested was on the table already. One of the servers asked if she could pour one of the waters for me and if I wanted to order anything whilst I waited for my guest. Food was very nice. I had the fried haddock with chips. Very fluffy batter with the right amount of crisp. Overall the staff were very attentive and ambience of the restaurant was very relaxing and welcoming.
