The Ivy restaurant is considered by many to be one of London's finest. Booking a table can be hard, with a 3 month wait not unusual, although regular diners don't have this problem. Popular with the media, film and arts, means many familiar faces can be seen here on a regular basis. One regular at the Ivy liked the fact that if a he fancied sausage and mash or steak and kidney pie, not only was it available, but at a quality few other restaurants could compete with.

It has also been voted London's most favourite restaurant by Americans for the fifth year in a row.
