All-day casual dining in luxurious surroundings, The Ivy St Helen’s Square is in the heart of York’s bustling centre.
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 menu is spearheaded by Executive Chef Sean Burbridge, who revamps traditional British dishes with an exotic, international twist.
Whey your appetite with a starter of asparagus with truffle hollandaise or a tuna carpaccio with watermelon and ponzu dressing. Mains include an avocado and spinach benedict or, for a more decadent Brunch, the crab linguine with chilli and smoked garlic will do the trick. The weekday breakfast menu is equally winning: go light and healthy with a caramelised grapefruit or crushed avocado and pomegranate on toast, or fill up with buttermilk pancakes, eggs benedict, pastries or a huge Full English.
Have a stroll along the glittering River Ouse before departing from York Rail Station, just a ten-minute walk away.
