Breakfast at The Ivy is a relaxed yet sophisticated experience. Start off with a choice of refreshing 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 Whiskey Barrell Wood Smoked Salmon followed by the Crab and Queen Scallop Nero Linguine as a main course. For an extra indulgent experience, why not enjoy a cocktail from a Watermelon & Strawberry Bellini to a Salted Caramel Espresso Martini or a glass of Champagne with your Brunch?

The Ivy Sunday Roast is served with all the trimmings. Indulge in rosemary roasted potatoes, green beans with almonds, carrot and swede mash and a Yorkshire pudding finished with a red wine gravy.

    A truly charming restaurant where every detail is thoughtfully curated, from the elegant decor to the cozy ambiance that invites you to linger a little longer. The staff provides impeccable service with genuine warmth, ensuring that every moment feels special and cared for. Whether you're here for a casual meal or a celebratory occasion, the seamless blend of atmosphere and attentive hospitality makes dining here a truly delightful experience. A perfect place to unwind, indulge, and create memorable moments. For answer the response that: Hi! Thank you for reaching out. The 2-star rating was mainly based on the overall experience. I didn’t mention the food taste because, personally, I only highlight it when it stands out. For me and my friends, the flavor didn’t quite meet our expectations, especially compared to other places in a similar price range. But of course, taste is subjective — what’s not for me might be perfect for someone else. Wishing you all the best and hope others continue to enjoy your food!

    It is a very nice restaurant with amazing service. Me and my partner came here for her birthday, and we opted for the three course meal picking the peanut skewers as a starter and a chicken supreme for mains. Both were amazing, and we will definitely be coming back. The service was also very fast, and with our simple reservation, we were taken to our table instantly. As we are both younger, the alcoholic drinks were not particularly for our palet, but the pineapple juice and peach ice tea were more like it. Decor was also so immersing, as seen by other photos.

    A visit to The Ivy in Exeter was a delightful experience. I opted for the classic Shepherd's Pie, which, though small in size, was rich in flavour with perfectly seasoned meat and a creamy mashed potato topping. To finish, I couldn't resist the famous Ivy Chocolate Bomb - watching it melt as hot chocolate was poured over to reveal a gooey centre was a real treat. A perfectly indulgent ending to a wonderful meal!
