The Ivy on the Square is part of The Ivy Collection, which remains true to the values of the original Ivy restaurant, famous for its celebrity clientele and superior dining experience. Interiors feature sumptuous Art-Deco detail, marble floors and striking burnt orange banquettes.

Breakfast at The Ivy is a relaxed yet sophisticated experience. Start off with a choice of juices or coolers while you choose from a range of Breakfast options including The Ivy full English Breakfast or one of the light and healthy plates. The Breakfast menu also includes a range of teas and coffees.

Brunch is a more decadent affair with starters such as the salt and pepper squid tempura followed by the scorched dry-aged rib-eye steak as a main course. For an extra indulgent experience, why not enjoy a cocktail or glass of Champagne with your Brunch?

Open seven days a week, the restaurant includes a vibrant dining space, alongside a bar and striking mezzanine terrace overlooking Edinburgh’s historic St Andrew Square just off of Edinburgh High Street.

    A rather sleek elegant venue with superb customer service. Offering a range of food and drinks to suit all tastes this a very popular and in demand place to be. With seating upstairs, downstairs, at the bar and outside, the staff do their best to accommodate all customers. They do accept walk ins, however best to book. A beautiful place. There was a "service charge" but staff should notify you of this. As always the staff do appreciate being nice to as well as tips 👍

    Another city another Ivy! As we were on holiday in Edinburgh it seemed like a good idea and we weren't disappointed, great service,great food, nice decor and atmosphere. I really like their duck salad so had to have it and I fancied their fish and chips this day, all tasty and good. My wife had duck curry followed by a Chocolate Bomb and really enjoyed that also. Great views across St Andrews Square from the first floor diner particularly at sunset. Recommended!

    What can I say?! The Ivy was a fantastic experience! We inadvertently ended up in the Ivy for both breakfast and dinner in the same day (don’t ask - miscommunication with people we were meeting) but honestly I wasn’t mad about it! The service was second to none - they were very attentive and super pleasant. Food was beautiful. I even got extra toast with my omelette! For dinner we were a big table of 12 and nothing came out incorrectly- it was all perfect. Couldn’t recommend this place enough!
