The Ivy Cardiff

I had the pleasure of dining at The Ivy in Cardiff recently, and I must say it was a delightful experience from start to finish. The restaurant is exceptionally pretty, with its charming decor and inviting ambiance. The service was top-notch, and the staff made us feel truly welcome throughout our meal. The food was very nice, a treat for both the palate and the eyes. A special shoutout to Mimi, who was an amazing host and added a personal touch to our dining experience. I can't wait to return to The Ivy for another wonderful meal!

Went here for a family event, it was definitely a lovely place to spend time and enjoy the atmosphere. Although I wasn't impressed with the selection of food, it is important to note that I am vegetarian and was using the dinner menu. There appears to be better selections for vegetarians on the other menus. The quality of the food was great, however. Although my family had steaks which they weren't impressed with (for the price). Especially considering their portions. The desserts here were epic! The staff here were really helpful and welcoming.

Delicious food and super helpful staff. No issues with our allergies. The nicest meal out in Cardiff for a little while, will be going back soon. They have an easy to use app for allergies, no pages of spread sheets to digest. Good choice if you need gluten-free. Choice was limited slightly when adding dairy into the mix. But the food was delicious. Also good vegan options.

Went for breakfast here before a day out in Cardiff shopping. Great location, service and food. The staff were happy to help with specific orders and food came within a good time. Something I would mention is when we asked for water for the table this wasn't tap water and was added to the bill. Being a reasonably expensive restaurant this is probably normal but I'm not used to having to pay £4.50 for water. Other than that it was a great experience, a little pricey but nice for an occasion.

We had a fabulous afternoon tea at The Ivy . Food was great, staff were fantastic. A truly wonderful time had by us all. The chocolate cake in the plant pot caused such a laugh as one of our party didn't hear the server say it was a cake and when we started eating it she was concerned. So funny. The desserts were so very nice. Thank you

A beautiful restaurant in a fantastic spot. The food was absolutely delicious. Me and my partner shared a souffle for starters and had the same main of Chicken Milanese. Both were served hot and were full of flavour. The staff were friendly and helpful with very prompt service. The environment within the restaurant is a buzz and it was decorated with style. Will happily be returning again in the future.

Excellent ambience and service, very surprised by its quality here in Cardiff. Various choices from appetizers to desserts and you can also order something from the Asia side (which menu looks too western exotic), however, the sashimi tuna was out of expectation, even the dipping sauce was vinegar instead of soy sauce. Shepherd’s pie and grill aubergine were both elegantly presented with excellent taste. Hot tea was fresh mint instead of tea bag which was another nice surprise. Overall with this environment and food quality I consider its pricing as very reasonable.

This was our 4 from 12 Restaurant in preparation for choosing a restaurant for my wife's 50th birthday. Ambience was brilliant here, loved the vibe and music. Food was very good, starter was gorgeous, fillet steak was slso gorgeous for my main but my dessert was the coconut panna cotta which I really did not enjoy at all, the only real taste was the slices of pineapple... would I recommend this place, of course I would...but I would rather send you to Thomas by Tom Simmons for a few quid more.... Just want to add the service was absolutely brilliant... 💯
