40 standing
Opened in March 2018, Ivy Cambridge Brasserie sits plumb in the city’s university heartland. The kitchen serves the chain’s signature British classics and, as at the Covent Garden original, Martin Brudnizki has been a guiding hand on design. His art-deco theatrics extend to the Boat Room, which accommodates groups at a single long table (removable for drinks receptions). On a polished, oak-tiled floor, it is surrounded by colourful vintage prints and artwork that reference local academic and riverine traditions.

December 2023Visited for lunch while shopping in town, restaurant was busy and told cloakroom was full, a little annoying, this however was soon resolved by a departing guest. We were shown to a very nice table for 2 on a corner. The waiter soon arrived and took the drinks order, drinks arrived fast and the food order was taken. Food arrived in good time and was excellent, black cod was very nice and can recommend the truffle arancini. Restaurant is well presented and the staff were fantastic, friendly, knowledgeable and helpful.

February 2024I've wanted to visit The Ivy in Cambridge for quite some time. Despite our last-minute booking, we snagged a favourable time slot. Surprised by the restaurant's size and early opening at 8:30 am, we arrived at 1:15 pm. The brunch menu, though compact, allows ordering from the full menu (minus breakfast), with afternoon tea available from 4 pm. Opting for the burger, I was dismayed to pay nearly £2 for a slice of cheese. My friend chose the waffle from the brunch menu, a dish similarly priced to the burger (includes fries), yet less filling. I prefer dishes offering better value for money. Opting for a more budget-friendly tropical juice at around £5, I noticed a service charge added to the final bill. The staff proved friendly and attentive, and the decor was captivating. Despite the constant buzz, the well-spaced tables allowed for private conversations. With its accommodating large tables, The Ivy is ideal for groups. Its prime location in Cambridge adds to the overall appeal.

March 2024I would recommend The Ivy, the service was faultless and they were accommodating to us having a pram and wheelchair to contend with. The food was delicious, the portions are small so be prepared for that. I think they warrant being slightly bigger, then I would of given 5 stars... We had the Shepherds Pie which was delicious, you have to order sides to go with this as it doesn't come with anything. One of us was a vegetarian, there were only two main meal options which was slightly limiting. The atmosphere is great and the decor is beautiful. Overall I would return.

March 2024Had a lovely early mothers day afternoon chocolate tea on the Saturday. The afternoon tea was lovely although quite sickly due to the amount of chocolatey items , definitely need more balance of savoury and sweet. Still, it was all very nice and tasty. Service was a bit rubbish tbh and then got charged £13 for it...so check your receipt and challenge it before paying it, my daughter paid and didn't realise the charge until too late... Lovely venue and surroundings. Would I visit again for this afternoon tea, probably not..but I would return for the normal dining menu.
