The Ivy Richmond Brasserie - (Near Richmond upon Thames, South East)

5 /5 Highway Video: We love going to The Ivy, and this visit was no different. We tried the Ivy beer this time along with French onion soup, chicken skewers, and mushroom linguine - and everything was spot on. The French onion soup was the highlight for me, absolutely delicious and full of flavour. Great food, lovely ambience, and always a place we enjoy coming back to.

5 /5 Edward Milne: My last visit, albeit years ago, left me with the impression that this was an establishment that was largely dining out (pardon the pun) on a reputation of old, but today the lunch time offer that was advertised outside the restaurant, enticed me in to give it another go. And I have to say I was hugely impressed. Whilst they weren’t able to accommodate me in the dining area due to how busy they were (I hadn’t pre-booked), eating at the bar didn’t bother me at all. And in any case, to be that busy on a rainy cold February Monday lunchtime was a great sign - clearly they are doing something right. And so it proved. All the food was very fresh and tasty. The fish was perfectly cooked, the calamari surprisingly delicious (with the sweet chilli carrot addition making it pleasantly less dry than you would get elsewhere) and the side of spinach was deliciously creamy. Due to it being a set menu offer, I thought £19 starter and main was outstanding value for money! Will look forward to returning soon.

5 /5 Marta Guss: What a fantastic experiance! I always thought that the Ivy was a somewhat on the more expensive scale but it was class reasonably priced with delicious food, amazing wine selection and fantastic service! The decor was totally magical even in the toilets! Loved it and highly recommend!

5 /5 Stephany Kaori Yoshida: We went to The Ivy Richmond for lunch on a Sunday and ordered the traditional fish and chips and the Ivy Burger. Both were spot on! We especially loved the creamy mushy peas that came with it (quite a discovery for us brazilians)! For dessert, we decided to share The Ivy Classic Shepherds Pie Dessert, which was absolutely delicious. The restaurant itself is stunning and sophisticated, with live jazz creating a beautifully fancy atmosphere. The service was equally excellent. Our waitress was super friendly and attentive, but honestly, that applies to the whole staff. Everyone was helpful and efficient. We had an amazing experience!

4 /5 T. V.: Our visit to The Ivy Richmond started a little unevenly. I was initially served a very dirty glass, and the bottled beer arrived warm. To be fair, the staff addressed this once it was pointed out, and the situation was handled. We went in with fairly modest expectations, as The Ivy tends to receive mixed reviews. However, after that initial hiccup, the experience improved significantly and, in fact, turned out to be very good. The food was excellent from start to finish. The starters were well prepared and enjoyable, and the main courses followed at the same strong level — well executed, flavourful, and satisfying throughout. Nothing felt rushed or careless once the meal was underway. The dining room itself is beautiful, with a very pleasant and lively atmosphere. It’s an easy place to feel comfortable, and the overall ambiance is one of the restaurant’s real strengths. In the end, the pricing felt entirely appropriate for what was delivered. Taking everything into account, it turned into a very nice experience overall — one that clearly exceeded our initial expectations after a slightly bumpy start.
