The Ivy St Helen's Square York 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 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 French Onion Soup followed by The Ivy Burger 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.

    If you fancy a lovely evening to wine and dine with your loved one then The Ivy is the place in the Great City of York to be. As you enter the building you are greeted by a front of house member of staff who is dressed very smart. They will show you to your table. Very plush furniture and fixings much in the style of the 1920s. There is no draught beers or lagers.Bottled and canned lagers only plus your spirits and cocktails which seem to be very popular. Food ordered from your table where everything is table service. Food is delicious. Staff supper friendly. Toilets 🚻 exceptionally clean. This place is not cheap by no means.

    We set outside, started with drinks and happy hour. After reviewing the menu, decided to dine inside. We had an elegant dining experience. Service was great and food we ordered was excellent. We also loved the desserts. Highly reccomend this restaurant.

    Me and my partner went last night for our anniversary, never been before but heard so much about it. All I can say is wow…. The food was outstanding, beautifully presented, within a good time frame (although we never mind waiting). The staff could not do enough for you, our waitress can’t remember her name was fantastic!!! We tipped her as she thoroughly deserved it! Overall a fantastic atmosphere, comfy, cosy, delicious and outstanding food, top class service and will DEFINITELY be back!!! Ivy York thanks again! Scott and Adam
