The Ivy Cambridge Brasserie 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 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 Truffle Tagliolini followed by the Smoked Haddock and Salmon Fishcake 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 interior mixes gorgeous Oriental bloom prints and a botanical theme with glamorous and sleek touches such as a marble top bar and soft leather seating. The Ivy Cambridge Brasserie is just a short distance from Cambridge Rail Station.

    We dined at the Ivy on a Saturday night over Easter. As expected, it was really busy and the atmosphere was great. I regularly enjoy brunch, lunch or dinner at their sister restaurant in Glasgow (which is my favourite one) and I used to frequent the original Ivy in Soho, London many moons ago. I love the look and feel of these dining spaces. The staff are always well trained and service is generally pretty slick. I also love a restaurant with a proper cloth napkin !! I took friends on this visit and everything was good with the exception of the Scallops my friend ordered. (I should say that I'm from Scotland's west coast and know a thing or two about fresh seafood)...these were tiny and probably frozen. I prefer large meaty scallops with coral seared quickly to caramalise. I ordered the chicken millenaise but it was a little dry and overcooked. My friends really enjoyed the Ribeye steak, duck starter and fish cake. The dessert was delicious. The menu across all the Ivy restaurants is the same and quality & standards tend to be quite high. I probably wouldn't go back to the Cambridge location as it wasn't as good as other visits elsewhere but I will definitely be back in Glasgow soon. Overall, I love the look and feel of this brightly coloured cosy brasserie, the service team did a great job but the food didn't quite live up to what I was expecting.

    Nice Restaurant The restaurant was much bigger than I expected. Very fancy inside. The fish and chips tasted nice, in generous portions. A genuinely big fish fillet inside the batter. The shepherd's pie was surprisingly small. It was quite salty therefore I didn't use the provided gravy. You need to order a starter or dessert or both in case you insist to order their shepherd's pie. The staff were nice and attentive. Clean and tidy environment. I will return to try other items on the menu.

    The restaurant has a nice atmosphere, beautiful décor, and comfortable chairs and tables. It gives the impression of being a place for great food and a refined dining experience — but unfortunately, it doesn’t live up to that image. The food was mediocre at best. I ordered the duck curry dish, and it was completely bland, lacking both salt and flavor. Overall, the prices are extremely high for what’s offered. The only thing that was somewhat enjoyable was the dessert — it was okay, not amazing, but about what I expected. In summary: if you’re looking for good food, this is not the place I would recommend. It’s overpriced and doesn’t deliver on its promise.
