Today, Tuesday 19th November, The Ivy Liverpool Brasserie has officially opened its doors on Castle Street in the stunning former Bank of England building.

Showcasing its beautiful interior, delicious dishes and expertly crafted cocktails, The Ivy Liverpool Brasserie has today welcomed its first guests to enjoy the signature Ivy dining experience that the iconic restaurant brand is known and loved for.

The opening has been highly anticipated ahead of the festive season with thousands of bookings being made for guests to celebrate throughout the Christmas period and beyond.

An exciting addition to Liverpool’s culinary scene, The Ivy has carefully restored the Grade-I listed building to reveal its opulent interior, stunning bar, as well as a beautiful 16-person private dining room for those seeking an intimate setting for special events, festive parties and more.

Adorned with bold and elegant decor combined with opulent furnishings and nods to the city weaved into the artwork, The Ivy Liverpool Brasserie has a capacity to host 180 diners and is perfect for all dining occasions. Its Amazon Room invites guests into a vibrant oasis of blues and greens, complete with a rich jade and cobalt, reflective agate floor.

From a delicious breakfast and brunch menu to its all day A La Carte, the midweek 1917 menu that is incredible value for money with two courses at just £19.17, through to The Ivy’s signature Sunday Roast, there is something to suit everyone’s tastebuds.

With the restaurant opening just in time for the festive season, guests will be able to enjoy the festive menu The Ivy Liverpool Brasserie will have to offer. Standout dishes include the Whiskey Barrel Smoked Venison Tartare and the Goose, Turkey and Duck Shepherd’s Pie from the a-la carte, and the Turkey Ballotine, complete with apricot, cranberry and pork stuffing, pigs in blankets, and truffle sauce, and the Foraged Wild Mushroom and Truffle Linguine from the Festive Set Menu.
