Not a big fan of chain restaurants except the Ivy on Litchfield St, WC2.

It’s a Saturday lunchtime thing for us. I like shopping in Covent Garden, I like the massive Apple Store, I like the people watching, I like the shops, Alo yoga on Neal st, and Varley stores are now my go to shops when once it might have been Benneton and Stefanel.

The Ivy is a posh cafe of sorts. The decor inside is a visual spectacle and all the Ivy restaurants are known for there over the top interiors. I always have the same table. The staff make a point to know me and I like that even if they don’t really.

I usually order the onion soup, I like the theatre how it comes.

It’s the kind of place you see the same people, they definitely have regulars like me. It’s smart and very relaxed. Exceptional top notch service, yet very friendly. If you like 5 star you don’t have to dress up for this is a good place for you.

It’s not inexpensive although no one would say anything if you just ordered coffee and dessert.

A starter and a drink expect to pay £25 including service. If you want to put a main course on there nit much change out of £40 but you’ll absolutely love it.
