THE IVY NORTCOTE ROAD

The Ivy Nortcote Road is the new kid on the block, and like all Ivy spots, it’s trying to play the fancy game. Olivia Ohare was all about the Christmas cocktails and the lovely ambiance, praising the attentive staff, especially one named Grace who kept the wine flowing. But let’s not kid ourselves, the food isn’t exactly Michelin-star material. EKA noted that while mains were good, starters were tiny, and the high prices just didn’t match up.

Overall, it’s a place that’s more about the experience than the food. Great decor and service, but don't go expecting groundbreaking cuisine. It's perfect for Instagram pics and catching up with friends, but the buzz might be louder than the flavors on your plate. If you're down for a stylish night out, The Ivy will deliver, but keep your expectations in check when it comes to the food. 🍸
