The Ivy

Now 106 years old, The Ivy is a fixture of the London dining scene, with a menu of classics gently coaxed toward modern trends as every decade passes. Though it has now become a worldwide brand, the original’s unabashed, bygone elegance still draws in hungry diners looking for snow crab risotto or shepherd’s pie. The Covent Garden location, along with service until 11:30 in the evening, means you might spot the star of the West End show you just left having a late dinner.
