The Ivy Kensington Brasserie London Reviews
Good not great
Not our first choice, but 5 days before our visit our first three options were fully booked. Beautiful premise, as other branches, and excellent service. The food quality was variable, the signature fish and chips rather underwhelming with very smal
Great find in London
Enjoyed our breakfast here twice and came back for last dinner. Had Rhea who was very accommodating. Would recommend this restaurant.
A MUST place to visit!
This was an unexpected stop for us. I am so glad we dined at this lovely restaurant. We both had the fish and chips and it set the bar high for us on our trip to London. The food and ambiance were awesome and would highly recommend this establishment
An established quality restaurant.
We expected a special meal and The Ivy did not disappoint. My starter was the Ivy classic crispy duck salad with roasted cashew nuts, sesame nuts, watermelon and ginger in a hoisin sauce costing £14.25 and very nice it was too. This was followed b
The perfect breakfast!
A wonderful breakfast with super service. Thank you Keira for being so kind and attentive. My breakfast was part of the set menu with a green juice and cooked breakfast. My mum opted for paoched eggs on sourdough. Delicious and in beautiful surroundi
Great
I’m very happy with the service from Michał – he was friendly and professional. The food was delicious and the atmosphere was fantastic. I truly enjoyed my visit and will definitely come back!
Excellent experience
Arrived at around 9:30 pm on 10-5. We were seated promptly. Noticed all employees were busy bussing tables etc. Sat for about 3-4 minutes when mgr. Irina noticed we had not been greeted or helped yet. She immediately smiled and came to our table an
Had my laptop stolen from their cloakroom, staff could not have cared less.
A pity you can't give zero stars. I checked my rucksack containing my laptop on arrival at The Ivy for a business lunch and was given a cloakroom number for it. After a very average lunch was informed that my bag was no longer there and must hav
Amazing place to go in London
Great place to be, great service at the bar, many thanks to Samuel. One of our favorite places to go in London due to the big selection of drinks and food.
Perfect evening celebrating
We had the most wonderful time here Friday night, we went to celebrate my dad’s graduation and we loved all of our food and our waiter MATEO was absolutely first class! Best waiter we’ve experienced, he made us feel like VIPs and they also gave u
Ayesha was great!!
Ayesha was great. Nice atmosphere, great food. The service was very fast and friendly. Loved visiting here with my colleagues.
Afternoon tea at the ivy with Family What a treat
ivy Chelsea had a wonderful afternoon tea with Family more food than any of us could eat Great selection of teas from around the world and a service that is secound to none there care and attention to detail in every service see people come back time
Disappointing
We received a warm and genuine welcome from the lovely meet and greet person. Things went rapidly downhill after that. We ordered breakfast and were looking forward to it. 5 out of 6 breakfasts turned up ! Mine was lukewarm, but I was hungry. The 6th
Wonderful Dining Experience
Perfect visit! Was given a warm welcome and a quieter table in a corner as I had requested. Atmosphere fantastic. Our servers were extremely helpful and accommodating to my dietary requirements. Food excellent, dining from the Downton Abbey speci
Would really recommend it
Great food, great atmosphere and very very nice service from Rheg. Would really recommend it! We will definitely come back!
Good food but don’t eat at the bar
We had no reservation so ate at bar. Poor bartender was working entire bar and filling drinks for main dining areas so service was slow. It took a while for us to even be acknowledged even though two women were doing inventory of bar right in front
Well Worth the Cost
Went here for afternoon tea and it absolutely delivered. The tea and pasteries that came with it were all very good and it was a great experience. A bit on the pricey end, but well worth the cost.
visual and atmosphere is classy
Went here before we went to the theater on a Saturday night. Daughter had booked in advance and we was offered a bar side seat, I was a bit apprehensive about this with my mobility problems. I'm probably right to be so, they were quite high and
Good service, good food
Great experience and food. Our server Anna was a joy and made the restaurant definitely one we will visit when we return to London.
A lovely experience!
I visited for an early dinner prior to attending a Prom at the Royal Albert Hall. As a fairly recent solo diner due to bereavement it was great to be treated so well. Although not initially given the Summer Set Menu, this was promptly rectified by lo
Excellent value pre theatre menu
Excellent value for money pre theatre menu and great cocktails Service was friendly if a little haphazard (wine left on the bar till we chased it up twice) Spotless toilets too
Amazing!
Amazing Anna and Anglina are amazing.. great food and a service def recommend! The staff and manager are a delight and would come again and again!
Overrated
We thought we’d have the summer set lunch on the last Bank holiday of the year - we ordered the minute steak ( you can only have well done or medium rare)…the steak was tasteless and drenched in peppercorn sauce. We ordered French beans on the si
Lovely place
Lovely atmosphere, attentive staff and delicious food! I had an early dinner, followed by some drinks. We had a really nice time and we will definitely be back!
They squeezed us in on a busy night- so grateful! Great
They squeezed us in on a busy night- so grateful! Great food, service and atmosphere. Definitely recommend
Never again
I’m truly amazed at the high ratings that this chain gets. Maybe people fall for the interior decoration and their taste buds are mesmerised into believing they are eating good food. In our experience the food was mediocre, the service sub-par and
Swift and efficient service. Great food
Fabulous pre theatre meal. Our waiter Smit ensured we were served promptly so we could leave on time -we even fitted in a dessert. Lovely food and a really good ambience. Would definitely return. Highly recommended

Honestly, it's been a week and I've told so many people how bad this place was that I might as well yelp it. First, we waited nearly 20min for a waiter to even come by, let alone offer water - this was after a 10min wait at the door becau
We were here for a work dinner and it was a great choice.
The service is exceptional, the atmosphere is vibrant, and the food and drinks are wonderful. The menus, both food and drinks, are varied enough that there is something for everyone. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend The Ivy to anyone for dinne

This is our second time visiting London and stopping at the Ivy for a full English breakfast. It is absolutely delicious and a must. They have a variety of juices and smoothies, as well as a delicious coffee bar for lattes and iced coffee and an arra

Above and beyond! Friendly service and even better food and ambiance. I highly recommend if you're in the area for dinner!

I'm in Europe for a month and this was the first place I went out to dinner. I think the aesthetic and ambiance of this place is really what makes it. Theres tons of cool art on all the walls and it feels like you're traveling back in time
Great Spot for a Quick Bite!
Just strolling around and popped in for dinner. Violeta was amazing – super nice and quick to help out with the menu and snag me a table. Been to a bunch of Ivy’s and I’ll definitely be back. Big thanks!
Huge disappointment
We booked a table for 6 for breakfast to celebrate my mother’s 80th birthday today.Our waitress was thoroughly miserable and surly.She rolled her eyes when we asked questions about the breakfast special and practically threw our plates down when de
Very poor quality/ratio.
The service and decor are good. However, the dishes are really bad... the steak overcooked, the tartare very poorly seasoned (the mustard is very very strong 🥲) even though I said I didn't like it... and you also have to take into account the acco
Thank you
I came for a dinner with friends that visited me in UK. Friendly staffs with excellent service, loved the food. I would definitely recommend it
Always a nice meal.
Good ambience of a brasserie. Drinks are well made and decent wine list.
Great restaurant
This place was so busy when we walked in but I can tell why! Service very well paced and very efficient to follow with yummy drinks and fantastic food.
Beautiful place
Peaceful and beautiful decorated place, will definitely go back with my family and try the dinner menu that looked fantastic
Family place
Lovely place to enjoy a lovely meal with the whole family, speedy and yummy food. Definitely a place to recommend for a good bite to eat
Definitely worth a visit!
I come here often and write here as often as I can as I just want to rave about it! Service is always super and we are always made to feel so welcome. The food is always great, my kids were a bit disappointed when the sushi left the menu but as ther
Not as good as it used to be
I don’t know what’s going on with the Ivy restaurants recently but this is my third bad experience in the last few months. I used to enjoy my visits there but lately the standards have really dropped. On this occasion the service was absolutely d
A perfect meal
The bar is superb & the menu is creative, lovely ingredients cooked with many combinations to make dining a delight, plain fare it’s not!!
This was my second time I went to this ivy restaurant.
Last time my friend took me there all I remember was they were busy and you must reserve a reservation to get a table. I didn't make a reservation but I was able to get in at the counter for the second time. The restaurant was super busy. I see ever
Suggested only one of options for good food in London.
Old school with traditional gift on the table. Ordered mushroom cream linguini which was very tasty but presentation was B. Would not go wrong.
Great service and good food.
Pretty close tables but still comfortable. Small selection of well prepared courses. Very nice decor and atmosphere. We're coming back.

Let's say Peter has a great morning and decides to take his three friends to The Ivy Kensington Brasserie London at 6 PM the same day.
He checks the restaurant's website and sees that no reservations are available. He then looks at the The Ivy Kensington Brasserie London page on AppointmentTrader, but finds that there are no user postings either.
That's where the community-driven bid process comes in.
Peter can place a bid on AppointmentTrader, which serves as a reward for any community member who chooses to work on securing the reservation. AT then notifies experienced users who may be able to help.
Step-by-Step Process
1.) Setting a Reward (Bid)
* AppointmentTrader uses historical data to recommend a reasonable reward amount for securing a reservation - let's say $100.
* Peter really wants to go, so he increases the bid (or reward) to $200.
* At this stage, the reservation does not exist yet.
2.) A Community User Picks Up the Bid
* GallantAnswer60, an experienced AT user, has a strong track record of successfully securing reservations and low refund requests, they receive a notification about Peter's $200 bid.
* GallantAnswer60 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to GallantAnswer60 for any questions Peter may have as GallantAnswer60 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* GallantAnswer60 now uses their connections at The Ivy Kensington Brasserie London to secure the table.
* If they successfully get the 6 PM table for four, Peter receives a confirmation that the reservation has been secured.
* If GallantAnswer60 fails to secure the reservation, the bid is returned to the pool so another user can try.
4.) Payment & Protection
* Once the reservation is secured, GallantAnswer60 receives the $200 reward which is credited to GallantAnswer60's AT balance, where users manage their own funds and can withdraw via available payout options such as bank transfer, PayPal, or Zelle.
* Peter can now enjoy the dinner with his friends at The Ivy Kensington Brasserie London!
* As with all transactions on AT, disputes and no-show fees are handled through the platform's community-driven resolution system. Users with a strong track record are incentivized to fulfill bids successfully, and community members can report issues to maintain trust in the marketplace.
