The Original Ivy, West End - Westminster
Nic Banister Well worth a visit to the one that started it all, somewhere Ive wanted to visit for a long time.
Relatively small by modern standards inside but that just adds to the busy brasserie ambience. Exquisite design and layout with the bar down the middle with counter seating and normal tables every side (toilets near the entrance).
Service excellent even through they were busy. Food exactly what you would expect - we enjoyed the fish and chips and pan fried sea bass. Deserts the classic chocolate bombe, rum baba and creme brulee (although would have preferred this a bit more crunchy on the top).
Its a busy classic London brasserie and I completely recommend it!
