Stylish setting with buzzy atmosphere and celeb sightings
"The food is, yes, wonderful at The Ivy. But for me, the decor is the main draw: Provençal in style and kaleidoscopic in hue, it’s a distinct ambiance that can't quite be compared to anywhere else: booths are accented with poppy-red striped pillows, and tables are topped with crystal candelabras. On the walls are a mix of blue-and-white plates as well as a gallery of expressionist-esque paintings. Meanwhile, beautiful flowers are everywhere." — Lilah Ramzi"
"In the '80s and '90s, The Ivy was a place where A-listers and agents went to argue about movie contracts while eating grilled white fish on the tree-covered front patio. These days, the fun is long gone. Celebrities and Hollywood power brokers have now been replaced by confused tourists and TikTokers making videos for their 200 followers. A meal at The Ivy was never about whatever random pasta dish or grilled chicken salad you ordered, it was about the glitzy, gossip-column scene unfolding in the dining room. Without that, there’s little reason to come here." - Brant Cox
"TMZ spotted President Joe Biden and First Lady Jill Biden dining at the Ivy in West Hollywood on Saturday afternoon; their son Hunter Biden was also on the premises, and surrounding traffic was allegedly awful because of the Bidens’ security detail." - Mona Holmes
"Just a few minutes from J.Sheekey in the heart of London’s theaterland, The Ivy is a restaurant every Londoner has to visit at least once. Serving diners since 1917, this restaurant was almost exclusively a celebrity haunt in the 1990s. Nowadays, everyone can enjoy the classically elegant decor and exceptional service. The menu options are British with a few Asian-inspired dishes mixed in. Signature dishes include shepherd’s pie, Thai sea bass, and Devonshire duck breast.Where: 1-5 West St, London WC2H 9NQ, United Kingdom" - MATADOR_NETWORK
