Lendal Engine House Restaurant in York

We went into the Ivy not knowing anything about it but it looked inviting from the outside and it was cold and rainy and an awful weather-wise day. How pleasantly surprised we were. It seemed to be snooty and stuffy but wasn't. Beautiful atmosphere and the food was delicious. My friend had the 1917 Menu of starter and main: Salmon Rillette with avocado, salad and rye bread and main of Shepherds' Pie. I had a starter of roasted scallops with creamed spinach and potato puffs. The cost: no more than what you would've paid in a neighborhood cafe. And the rose colored ladies' bathroom is beautiful!

Charlotte made my son's 21st vegas inspired birthday cake along with cupcakes. I can not express enough how accommodating and very talented Charlotte is! The cake most definitely had the wow factor with numerous comments from everyone. Charlotte even made gluten free cupcakes for me as she knows I'm coeliac . Aswell as looking amazing the cake tasted divine! Thank you so much Charlotte x

Wonderful food, and lovely people, this is the second time we have eaten here, delicious flavoursome food, great crispy belly pork and duck, and steamed buns. Looking forward to our next visit!.

Just popped in for coffee and a soft drink with my daughter. Then got chatting to others. Coffee was lovely, and we felt welcome, even after we finished our drinks.
