I’d always been impressed by the original Ivy in Covent Garden, with its telepathic wait-staff and impeccable cooking, so was curious about its newish (to me) one-and-a-half-year-old Soho outpost when I walked past it the other day. But I didn’t have time for lunch or dinner anymore before I leave London for this trip, so I decided there & then to pop in for breakfast instead.
Beautiful space here, echoing some of the features at the sumptiously-renovated Covent Garden mainstay.
Had the full English. Absolutely loved it: smoked streaky bacon, Cumberland herbed sausages, fried eggs, black pudding, roasted plum tomatoes, grilled flat mushrooms and baked beans, comes with a choice of white, granary or gluten-free toast (£13.50). Juices hover around £3.95 upwards, whilst coffee was £3.25.
Despite its pronounced elegance and luxury fittings, the place exudes a relaxed vibe. Wait-staff are suitably formal & very efficient.
