The Ivy on the Square 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.

Breakfast at The Ivy is a relaxed yet sophisticated experience. Start off with a choice of 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 salt and pepper squid tempura followed by the scorched dry-aged rib-eye steak as a main course. For an extra indulgent experience, why not enjoy a cocktail or glass of Champagne with your Brunch?

Open seven days a week, the restaurant includes a vibrant dining space, alongside a bar and striking mezzanine terrace overlooking Edinburgh’s historic St Andrew Square just off of Edinburgh High Street.

    From the moment I walked in, I was captivated by the beautiful decor and elegant ambiance. The Ivy exudes a timeless charm that perfectly complements the indulgent experience of afternoon tea. The selection of teas and the exquisite array of sandwiches, scones, and pastries were absolutely delightful. Each item was meticulously prepared and presented, showcasing a perfect blend of classic and contemporary flavors. The champagne added a luxurious touch, making the experience even more special. The service was impeccable. The staff were attentive, knowledgeable, and went above and beyond to ensure that every detail was perfect. Their warm hospitality made the experience all the more enjoyable.

    The service here is excellent. The food in particular the lobster linguine was also amazing. It's in a prime location in the heart of Edinburgh so was full when I went. Booking in advance is a must therefore!
