We're sure you've heard of The Ivy before, but if you're yet to be acquainted, let us set the scene. The Ivy's restaurants, which are scattered across the country, are traditional brasseries, furnished with beautiful, ornate touches, and a fine, classic menu, that has garnered the brand a popular status. In Liverpool, The Ivy lies in the heart of the city, with its famous, beautiful bar in the centre.
Sundays at The Ivy are special, with an indulgent roast on offer. Order a roasted half chicken with half chicken with stuffing, roast beef or roast lamb rump. Each is served with Yorkshire puddings, rosemary roast potatoes, green beans with almonds, carrot and swede mash and finished with red wine gravy. If you're celebrating a special occasion, why not treat yourself to afternoon tea, served between 3 and 5pm. Enjoy savouries like The Ivy 1917 cure smoked salmon and cream cheese choux bun, a chicken milanese and truffle cream brioche roll, and lightly curried egg finger sandwich. The warm fruited scones are served with clotted cream, fresh strawberries and strawberry preserve, and there's a selection of sweets too - like a classic creme brulee with berry compote, The Ivy chocolate bombe with milk foam and gold flake, and mini chocolate truffles with a liquid salted caramel centre.
Stop by for brunch on the weekend, and begin with dressed crab and avocado served with sliced radish, tomato, coriander and spinach crispbread, followed by The Ivy chargrilled beef burger with thick cut chips. On the side, enjoy some garden peas, tenderstem broccoli with lemon oil and sea salt, or heritage tomatoes with sherry vinegar dressing. Doesn't it all sound delicious?
