The Ivy Cardiff is part of The Ivy Collection, which remains true to the values of the original Ivy restaurant, famous for its celebrity clientele and superior dining experience. Interiors feature sumptuous Art-Deco detail, marble floors and striking burnt orange banquettes.

As well as the main dining area, there’s a show-stopping first-floor bar, set underneath a stunning blossom tree.

Breakfast at The Ivy is a relaxed yet sophisticated experience. Start off with a choice of refreshing juices or coolers while you choose from a range of Breakfast options including The Ivy Full English Breakfast or one of the light and healthy plates. The Breakfast menu also includes a range of teas and coffees.

Brunch is a more decadent affair with starters such as the Roasted Scallops in a creamed spinach, truffle and parmesan emulsion followed by the Lamb and Leek Sausages in a red wine sauce as a main course. For an extra indulgent experience, why not enjoy a cocktail from a Watermelon & Strawberry Bellini to a Salted Caramel Espresso Martini or a glass of Champagne with your Brunch?

The Ivy Sunday Roast is served with all the trimmings. Indulge in rosemary roasted potatoes, green beans with almonds, carrot and swede mash and a Yorkshire pudding finished with a red wine gravy.

The Ivy Cardiff is nestled in the city centre, located in St David's Shopping Centre, just a short walk from the city’s historic castle and Cardiff Market. It is just a short walk from Cardiff Central station.

    Had a most amazing dining experience at The Ivy, Cardiff. From the welcome, to the waitress, to the outstanding food. All of it was brilliant. We had a 3 course meal with a glass of champagne for £30 each from the autumn menu so not only was it was excellent value for money but the food really was exquisite and we left feeling like we were floating on air. Loved the whole experience - thank you :)

    We visited The Ivy in Cardiff to celebrate my sister’s birthday with a group of six. Booking was seamless, and even changes to the reservation were easy. The restaurant is stunning, with a gorgeous central bar—one of the most beautifully designed places I’ve seen recently. The food was very good, with portions that felt just right, though prices were slightly high. Unfortunately, my sister’s main course was forgotten and arrived 10–15 minutes later after we pointed it out. However, the manager apologized and removed it from the bill, which was much appreciated. The staff were warm and polite, though some lacked experience, with minor issues like how wine was served. Our table also had paper napkins instead of proper dinner ones, unlike other tables. Desserts included a special one for the birthday girl and an extra treat gifted by the restaurant. While thoughtful, the desserts didn’t quite meet expectations and felt overpriced. Still recommended!

    We are a family of three and we were greeted on arrival by the host who took our coats and bags. A pleasant lady took us to our prepared table and we were served by a smiley and attentive young lady -nothing was too much trouble. There was a large selection of drinks, and we were offered water . There were signature crackers and I chose the Ivy Snowman dessert. My wife had frozen winter berries and yoghurt with carbon dioxide effect smoke. I was given a complimentary large profiterole dessert with a lit candle and happy birthday chocolate. All the food was perfectly acceptable and was served promptly . There were no errors in the bill,but despite the high cost,it didn’t put us off coming again . There was a lift upstairs and the toilets were top class. We did notice that one of the chairs we were sitting on was worn and needed reupholstering. Other than that , was quite a nice experience,and as we picked a lunchtime experience,the atmosphere was a little subdued ,compared to an evening event in my opinion. We gave the loyalty app a go,and the young lady was kind enough to add our loyalty points towards another visit. We would definitely visit again,but I would expect a higher standard of speciality cuisine,considering the costs involved. Overall a very welcoming experience with a relaxed atmosphere and pleasant staff.
