Just discovered this little gem in Marylebone. A small venue serving great food and an excellent wine list at reasonable ( for London) prices. I had their pork chop - served already sliced and smothered in an eclectic vegetable medley with a sumptuous sauce. Wife had the Pollock that had a seasoning I would love to learn how to replicate plus another great vegetable medley. Wait staff extremely attentive. Overall a great experience and a very welcome addition to our London restaurant preferences!

About the restaurant

We are a natural wine bar and restaurant in the heart of Soho - we change our menu weekly and cook with the seasons using the best ingredients the season has to offer. Our menu is an eclectic array of dishes that we're either in the mood to eat or that take inspiration from a dish we've enjoyed somewhere along our journey. Whatever it is, we aim for it to always be a combination of simple cooking and delicious flavours.. This keeps us excited, and what we do at Ducksoup fresh and lively.

We search out characterful wines for our wine list and work with a small number of suppliers who source well-made, honest natural and biodynamic wines from producers whose wine-making practices are carried out with love and care. We change our wine list by the glass as frequently as our food menu so that you (and we) get to enjoy new and interesting wines.

Settle beneath the stunning eight-storey glass roof atrium with fabulous palm trees and live entertainment and experience the natural transition from day to night as our Winter Garden restaurant transforms into an elegant idyllic dining area.

Covent Garden

About the restaurant

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.
