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.

    The little entrance belies the lovely decorated restaurant inside. The waitresses were very polite and professional. Led us to upper level and marvelled by the architecture and design of the layout of the seatings. Fish and chips with the mash peas are excellent. A place that does not disappoint. 😍

    Excellent service and food. No complaints. We were seated in a friendly manner despite no reservation. Staff were considerate and asked if we had any dietary requirements. Food was crafted amazing and was very tasty. Would recommend to everyone.

    A rather sleek elegant venue with superb customer service. Offering a range of food and drinks to suit all tastes this a very popular and in demand place to be. With seating upstairs, downstairs, at the bar and outside, the staff do their best to accommodate all customers. They do accept walk ins, however best to book. A beautiful place. There was a "service charge" but staff should notify you of this. As always the staff do appreciate being nice to as well as tips 👍
