⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The food was absolutely amazing. We visited last year and it was good, but this year it’s on a completely different level. You can really feel that there is a new head chef who has put incredible effort into refining the menu and the flavors. The difference is visible on the plates and in the new sauces and details. The beetroot sauce with mint used as a design element was a beautiful and creative touch, and the herb sauce with a hint of garlic was simply outstanding — full of flavor and perfectly balanced. Everything tasted incredible. The presentation is very elegant and aesthetic, the plates look exclusive, and the food is delicious from start to finish. We especially loved the blue cheese sauce — absolutely unbelievable and easily our favorite. This year feels completely different compared to the previous one. You can tell the owners really put their heart into improving everything. The waitress was super friendly and welcoming, so we happily left an €8 tip — well deserved. We highly recommend this place. We’ll definitely come back again in summer and for sure try the pasta, fish, and steak next time. Warm greetings Dave & Karen from Ireland

The Ivy is absolutely amazing. The owners Sebastian and Liam are so friendly and the food is so good. The prices are reasonable. If you want to do a half order or change something they are more than accommodating. We've had numerous meals and I do not a bad thing to say about the place. Go you'll love it.

Lovely staff and great breakfast. Coffee is class too. I enjoyed the small breakfast both times we visited. We tried for dinner too but it was closed on Friday evening in late March.
