Ideally located between the stunning Sussex Coastline and the beautiful South Downs, the Ivy Chichester Brasserie is the perfect spot for anyone taking a break between shopping on the city's bustling high street, or the visitors who flock to see its famous cathedral and art gallery.

The ground floor includes a round bar area while the restaurant's stained-glass windows take their design cues from the history that surrounds this beautiful cathedral city. Lavish furnishings and other eclectic design touches will appeal to theatre-goers here for the acclaimed Chichester Festival. The brasserie's outdoor terrace features comfortable seating, plants and lanterns, so when it's cold outside, you can still dine alfresco.

    After a disappointing start to our evening, it turned out well. The food was delicious, the ambience was very good. The service initially poor but got much better. The Manager was on top of our disappointment and enabled the evening to turn out what we expected of The Ivy. Highly recommend.

    We pre-booked afternoon tea for 3 people. We were disappointed with the food - not enough sandwiches and too many sweet cakes. My breakfast tea was so weak. Not the standard we expected from The Ivy
    The Ivy Chichester BrasserieResponded on November 11, 2024
    Thank you Kathrine for your review and honest feedback, I'm sorry to hear that your experience with us didn't meet your expectations, we always aim to deliver exeptional service for all of our guests. The Afternoon Tea menu we deliver is our standard serve across all Ivy Collection venues, the option to replace some of the sweet treats with savoury options would have been possible had we known this would be your preference. I apologise again for your experience with us not being what you had hoped for, and I hope this does not deter you from dining with us in the future.

    It was a birthday celebration but we did not get our doughnuts!! The waiter apologised but as we had paid the bill we just wanted to go home.
    The Ivy Chichester BrasserieResponded on November 8, 2024
    Thank you Sarah for passing this onto us, I want to apologise that you didn't receive your little birthday treat when dining with us, that isn't the usual standard we set for ourselves and this will be passed on to ensure effective training is done. We hope that this didn't spoil your birthday and we look forward to seeing you again soon!
