The Ivy Canary Wharf in Tower Hamlets

Great drinks. Dhruv, the manager, was spot on with his drink recommendations!

Surrounded by modern skyscrapers, The Ivy gives a sense of fresh and natural feeling. We really appreciate what The Ivy has to offer, but the brunch is our favourite - nutritionally healthy and tasty! On this occasion, we went for lunch. -Great service, staff are super sufficient, friendly and helpful 🙂

My first time at the ivy and the food, decor and ambiance was fantastic, there was also this lovely lady called Eshita who served us at the bar and her service was amazing, she was very friendly and bubbly and actively checked if we needed anything, would definitely come again. Great experience!

Great ambience, amazing food and super friendly staff especially Eshita who made us these amazing mocktails. Will visit again soon!

We had a few problems with the service. Firstly, the surly front of house person was not keen to give us the free table on the balcony as it wasn't made up. We said we would wait. She wasn't having it as they were busy and couldn't make up the table. We finally won that one. We ordered cocktails to start and waited about 20 minutes, and got asked 3 times if we wanted to order food. "After we have our cocktails please". "Sorry but they are very busy" (understaffed I'd day). Waiter holding cutlery "Ivy burger!", me "what about it". I think they meant "who is having the Ivy burger". They seem to be understaffed in busy times and the afternoon staff change over means you have to track down someone to get the bill. Very disappointed but if the staff aren't sufficiently trained, this is what you get.

Untrustworthy business. Recently introduced a points reward system and are constantly trying to not award points to customers. Also removed all points of customer support, not even a phone number to reach their useless app team.

The food was so delicious. I ordered grilled Seabass.

Beautifully and tastefully decorated venue, with truly exquisite food and very good service.

Had lunch here on a weekday with my dog. There’s two terrace entrances, but it seems the staff servicing that area aren’t able to seat guests, you have to wait for someone from the main reception. Service was a bit off: had to ask for water for the dog, the main dish came before the drink, and had to remind them about the starter. The place wasn’t at full capacity, so it wasn’t just due to being overwhelmed. The highlight was the Spanish rice monthly special. Excellent flavor and preparation but the white rice had clearly been pre-cooked and came in clumps, which let it down a bit. The place caters mostly to business clientele during weekday lunches due to its location.

We had lunch at The Ivy Canary Wharf. It was such a fabulous experience. We felt so comfortable and everyone could not do enough for us. Alfie was assigned to our table. What a fabulous ambassador for the Ivy is Alfie. From arrival to departure the manner in which we were treated exceptional. So professional and so welcoming. Feeling at ease is important. The Ivy at Canary Wharf should be used as a ‘template’ for the Group. I could go on and on as all the personnel deserve a review of absolutely fabulous.

I had a wonderful experience at this restaurant. The staff was incredibly professional, attentive, and welcoming throughout the entire evening. The selection of wines was excellent and perfectly paired with the dishes. The food itself was delicious, with each course prepared with great care and flavor. The atmosphere was warm and elegant, making it an ideal spot for a romantic dinner. Highly recommended!

The setting is very friendly, the staff are attentive, and the cocktails are very good, we had a great time!

The patio is nice and I enjoyed the steak

Giuseppe and staff were very nice and excellent food

Had A lovely experience at Ivy to celebrate my friends anniversary ❤️

The restaurant was in a great location, and considering, the atmosphere was good. There were a few let downs though. Firstly, the service, at the door, they were great, however our server was difficult to understand and there was often lots of confusion. When the bill came and we asked to split the bill, they refused and we had to calculate things ourselves... Then this took additional time when trying to leave as they were confused about who had paid what. The toilets (the men's) were nice, but the fragrance they used was too overpowering, the smell itself was good, but it was far too strong and sent me into a coughing fit! It was almost like they took 7 or 8 bottles of aftershaves and threw it on every surface they could find. However they were very clean. The food however was very good, the price was reasonable for the portion size, we went for the £20 2 course set menu.

Wonderful experience. The food was divine. Loved it!

Had a fantastic dinner at The Ivy in the Park. From start to finish, everything felt smooth, relaxed, and well taken care of. The atmosphere was just right with the stylish decor and a great vibe with the music. The sea bass was perfectly cooked, the squid was crispy and light, and the chocolate bomb was just amazing. Everything went well because of the service. Huge thanks to Carla, Rhonan, Vangel, and Gemma; their warm and friendly service truly made the evening special. Definitely a place I’ll be coming back to!

Lovely experience. My first time trying The Ivy - very well looked after by Tyra (thank you). Food was delicious…top quality and lots of options. I shall be back! (I had the shepherds pie and jackfruit/peanut salad) ☺️👌🏼

recently had the pleasure of visiting the ivy and I cannot recommend it highly enough! From the moment I walked in, the atmosphere was warm and inviting, with just the right balance of cozy and vibrant. The food was absolutely divine! Each dish was thoughtfully prepared, beautifully presented, and bursting with flavor.steak and The grilled salmon was cooked to perfection, and the truffle fries were a delicious treat. Overall,exceeded all expectations. Whether you're looking for a casual meal with friends, a date night, or just a great place to unwind, this spot is a true gem. I can’t wait to visit again!

My breakfast at Canary Wharf has been excellent. Since we arrived we were greeted by a very friendly receptionist with a huge smile, and during the service Martin and Carla made our morning unbeatable. Vegetarian recommendations such as avocado and pomegranate toast or pancakes for my friends were lovely. We will definitely repeat 🥰!

One of the best place for eating out with family . Overall food , guest service and restaurant atmosphere amazing ❤️

Wonderful food, atmosphere and service!! Shoutout to Darryl 🥳 loved our experience

Such a lovely place with a very beautiful ambiance. Warm and friendly staff, just everything excellent

Tara was great she served us amazingly and patience with my dietary requirements and the food was lovely.

Amazing service. Tara is an amazing host. Had a great time.

Very loud music during my last visit, and the place seems to be short of staff, so we were left by ourselves for 20 minutes straight.

Just wanted to leave a review for Babis and Ayana for being such great host, they were very considerate and friendly. Customer service was excellent. Definitely the best experience I’ve had at the Ivy. Thank you

Vangel & Carla amazing service!

Went for a dinner with family beautiful environment!! Jubayer was supper professional!!

Amazing experience!! Fantastic service by Jubayer.

Showed up around 11:20 on a Friday. The lunch and dinner starts at 11:30. Had the crab salad and cod gougons(fried in their famous fish & chips batter) and a mixed berry drink. The dishes were well spaced and fresh. They left a bottle of tap water on the table, and London is just warming up, so I was able to eat on the patio.

Tyra was absolutely fantastic, had the best evening with my friends! Will be back for sure.

What a lovely atmosphere!! Perfect place for family dinner. What a smooth service by jubayer.

The food and drinks were perfect. The service was extremely fast and smooth by jubayer. the pricees are fair.Totally worth it.

The food was absolutely delicious, every dish was perfectly prepared and beautifully presented. Jubayer was attentive. Thank you for everything.

The food and service quality was truly exceptional, jubayer is amazing! Can't wait to come back.

Breakfast wasn't great. I asked for the avocado with eggs and hollandaise sauce but on toast rather than a muffin. The waiter suggested I had something else on the menu which was already avocado on toast but with tomatoes. I said I didn't want the tomatoes so he said he'd add eggs. It wasn't nice, there was no hollandaise sauce and they charged me an extra £6 for the eggs so my breakfast was £18 rather than £12. I would've been better sticking to my original order and not eating the muffin. To top it off, my cappuccino was barely warm and mainly frothy milk. Not what I expect for £50 for two people. Previously been for lunch which is ok and cocktails on the terrace which was shady but nice.

Nice ambiance and menu. The creme brulee was premade though and not hot at the top.

Amazing place and food Not for poor people

I had a rib eye on the bone OMG!!! It was delicious. If you are a fan of steak with fat, this is for you. Let’s not forget how Tyra made my and my partner's night memorable. She really made us enjoy it even further.

Perfect ending to a beautiful Mother’s Day. From the front desk staff to our waitress Jemma, everything was perfect! Jemma was very polite, patient and attentive just what you need when you’re ordering and waiting for your food to arrive. The restaurant was busy but ran smoothly and efficiently, with plenty smiles and nods coming from both staff and other diners. I’d forgotten how much I loved The Ivy and shall be returning more often.

Tyra an amazing and the best customer service and made our evening extra special

Amazing evening Lovely food Thanks you Will be back soon

The service here is amazing! The staff are friendly, always smiling, and attentive to every need. The space is cosy and relaxing. The food is fantastic as well. The highlight of the night was definitely the sea bass—the skin was perfectly crispy, and the meat remained tender and juicy. The other dishes were also enjoyable, but the sea bass was so exceptional that it truly stole the show and became the most memorable part of the meal.

Chicken dish bland & overpriced

Pay attention to your customers.

Excellent welcome and waiting staff but the food was bang average, and for the price you pay, you'd expect more. I went for the half roast chicken, a chicken was possibly the smallest they could find and add to that, it was dry and no amount of gravy could bring it to life. The 'roast' potatoes are clearly deep fried spuds that were mainly just crunch with little or no potato-like substance inside. A few green beans and a morsel of Swede mash was on the side but you do get 2 good size Yorkshire Puds, well they certainly made the plate look full. Those in the party who ordered roast lamb were taken aback when told that no mint sauce was available but after 10 minutes (and half the meals eaten) some 'magically' arrived. Not a great experience food-wise, I will certainly be spending my hard-earned elsewhere as this was not a cheap or even reasonably priced experience.

We had a lovely breakfast. The attention to detail from being welcomed, seated and served was impressive. The coffee and food were perfect and we loved the ‘no rush’ feeling. What a lovely place!

Friendly attentive staff, delicious breakfast, elegant surroundings

Business event, too crowded, rather slow service at the bar but might be due to the crowd.

Food was amazing and the service was superb Thank you Carla for making our evening special

Really enjoyed my visit to The Ivy Canary Wharf. The staff were super friendly and welcoming, and the service was spot on. Their cocktails were a highlight — definitely worth trying! The ambience is great, and I love that you can choose between a more buzzing atmosphere or a quieter spot. Perfect for a relaxed evening out!

Excellent food, staff and organization. ♥️ Thanks to Carla for her kindness and professionalism.

Lovely experience, beautiful atmosphere and delicious food Carla was exceptional.

Initial greeting at front desk hostile .. woman seemed half asleep at 9am .. thereafter service virtually non existent .. had tea and left

Went for an evening meal with a supplier, the food is excellent and the service similarly good. We had a 3 course meal with steak as the main. We are in a private room which had plenty of space and it's own bar. It's located 5 minutes from the Canary Wharf Elizabeth line station so easy to get to.

Wonderful experience, lovely food and atmosphere.

A great meal and atmosphere to celebrate our son's 21st birthday. Thanks to Francesco our waiter, very friendly and helpful.

Been there for an official lunch from my company... It was a set menu for lunch and I opted for the veg menu... Snacks were good... Specially something they served as baby potatoes was really nice.. presentation and service was good... The overall taste for salad and main course was average... Not sure if it was because of the pre-set menu or what other options they have on ala carte... But my overall experience with food was just above average....

Booked a table for two on saturday 5 days in advance requesting a QUIETER space, because an important call had to be made. Took my girlffiend and when we arrived we were seated near a birthday party table with 8 people who were very loud. People around including us were seated like in mcdonald’s. Could not hear anything that the waiter said or asked, needed to clarify 4 times. Ended up cancelling the call because the environment was unbearable, felt close to a club in terms of sound. Had to watch every plate that the waiter put down because they were put on the edge of the table always. I had a fillet steak and my girlfriend had sirloin steak. We both asked for medium-rare, mine came close to raw, her’s came almost grey (well done). The fillet steak was even a bit cold in the middle. The food arrived quickly. We got a non-alchoholic aperol spritz which was made awfully. Ended up paying 137£ for two people. Do come here if you want overpriced and not quality food combined with an environment that feels like a night club.

Had a fantastic time, amazing food and great views of a lush green and cityscape. Our server Olivia was super attentive and lovely.

The decor is lovely and the general feel/atmosphere of The Ivy is lovely, however the service is not the greatest. I would expect a better level of customer service from The Ivy. If this was improved it would greatly change the whole experience.

What a wonderful restaurant with exceptional service in Canary Wharf. We were visiting with our team from NI for an event nearby and secured a great table for the evening. From arrival, Babis looked after us exceptionally well. Nothing was too much trouble and he was so attentive to the dietary requirements of one of the group. The food was excellent also. Well Done Team Ivy and Babis!

The Ivy offers a chic yet relaxed dining experience in Canary Wharf. Their Truffle Arancini makes for a perfect starter—crispy, cheesy, and infused with rich truffle flavor. For mains, the Chicken Milanese is a standout, featuring a golden brioche-crumbed chicken topped with a fried egg and truffle cream sauce. To finish, the Melting Chocolate Bombe is a must-try, with its dramatic caramel sauce reveal. With elegant decor, excellent service, and consistently delicious food, The Ivy Canary Wharf is a top choice for any occasion.

Brigitta and Carla have been absolutely incredible. Thoughtful, efficient, and truly outstanding at what they do, they made our corporate dinner an unforgettable experience. Nothing was too much trouble, and their attention to detail was second to none. I organise and attend a lot of these events as part of my job, so I can say with absolute confidence that they are among the very best. Their warmth, professionalism, and dedication set them apart, and I can’t recommend them highly enough. Thank you Ladies <3

Lovely atmosphere and great good

Great food and drink Service was good All round fantastic experience

Good restaurant serving reliably decent dishes, with very good service. It’s an easy and obvious solid choice for a no jeopardy meal. Found it a nightmare to find on google maps though.

Food was delicious and service was on point. Would highly recommend anyone to visit 😊

Tyra great she so sweet professional and look after you x

Tyra is amazing and friendly! Very knowledgeable about food and drinks menus. Made my time at Ivy spectacular. 💖 x

Ordered the fish & chips and most of the batter was still raw on the inside so it was not appetising at all, I had to spend time taking out the raw batter. Sometimes the fish tasted undercooked, like it was fresh from the sea, personally I wouldn’t like my fish & chips to taste like that. Not to mention it was also VERY oily. The chips were okay, however, and the mocktail I ordered was lovely (Virgin Rossini). Overall, I feel like I was just paying for the ‘fancy dining’ experience rather than good quality food and I honestly could’ve found much nicer traditional fish & chips elsewhere. I will say that this is the first time I’ve had a bad experience at The Ivy as majority of times it’s usually been nice. This experience was very disappointing.

Great food, lovely staff. There is a cloakroom at the entrance which is nice. Lovely wine as well.

Had the Sunday roast. Good portion size.

We’ve been to Ivy Canary Wharf and tried their Sunday Roast. The food was delicious, and the roast beef was juicy and tender. I was particularly impressed by the Yorkshire pudding and the cocktails—definitely try their Bloody Mary! The location is stunning, right in the heart of Canary Wharf, with a beautiful animal-themed interior. In the summer, there’s a lovely outdoor terrace perfect for alfresco dining. I highly recommend it!

Not a great experience. We were a party of 7 and when we asked for the 1917 fixed menu we were told that it wasn’t available as it was only for tables of 6 or less. We argued that it doesn’t say this on the website or the menu but didn’t get a satisfactory answer. The starters were fine but the main courses were very poor, the aubergine and lentil bake was very spicy and not at all pleasant to eat, the shrimp burger was also quite horrid. We have had great meals at other Ivy venues but we won’t be returning to this one. Over priced and poor food.

Amazing food and drinks. Shepards pie rather small so probably best to order with sides

Very helpful and attentive staff, environment was lovely and calm

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fantastic Sunday Roast Experience! Had a great time at The Ivy Canary Wharf for Sunday roast. We ordered the beef roast and chicken roast, and both were cooked perfectly—tender, full of flavor, and served with all the classic sides. To go with it, we had a bottle of non-alcoholic Wild Idol champagne, which was really refreshing and paired nicely with the meal. For dessert, we went for the chocolate bomb, and it was absolutely amazing! The presentation was great, and the rich, melty chocolate was the perfect way to end the meal. The atmosphere was lovely, and the service was excellent from start to finish. Would definitely come back!

The evening started off with the waiter coming to take our order immediately as we sat down, without a pen. We asked for a few minutes, but could we have some tap water while we look. He told us he will collect his pen and be back. After he left us, we saw the waiter speak to another 3 tables, clear a few tables and also give food to a few tables. We did not receive any water. He then came back to us, again without a pen. We waited 10-15 minutes and in that time, another waiter came to take our order. Within a few moments of ordering, a bottle of beer was delivered to my table with a glass that felt like it had just come out of the dishwasher. I did not order a bottle of beer. The waiter who forgot his pen then came over to us and asked if we wanted to order, to which we told him we had already ordered. I asked him for a cold glass, to which he asked what drink I ordered. I repeated, please can I get a cold glass because I do not want a cold beer in a hot glass. He asked again what I ordered, to then be told I did not receive the drink I ordered. He swapped this out and brought both drinks and tap water to the table. No apology was received. Our starters arrived very quickly, all of which were lovely. We ordered the salted sourdough, chicken skewers and truffle arrancini balls. The plates were quickly cleared once we had finished, but we were not asked how they were. The mains arrived shortly after and both looked fantastic. However, the truffle pasta was lukewarm at best…. This added to our frustrations of the poor service we had already experienced. The waiter asked if I wanted another beer, but my partner was not asked if she wanted another drink. Again, at no point were we asked how the food was. Plates were cleared and we were offered desserts to which we politely declined. Reluctantly, we paid the bill and the service charge and swiftly left. Once again, we were not asked how our food or our evening was.

Tyrone was a absolute gentleman & was very polite. Lovely food and atmosphere, 100% recommend.

They have tried to over use the space. Food is on brand - good

Absolutely outstanding in all areas:)

Walked in randomly with a friend after having a great experience at IVY Asia, so we had high expectations. The ambience was great, but the menu had limited options, which made our choices quite restricted. The food was average—not bad, but it didn’t quite live up to what we were hoping for, especially after our visit to IVY Asia. It seems like the focus here is more on quick, fast-paced meals, likely catering to the corporate crowd in the area. It’s worth a visit if you’re looking for a quick bite, but if you’re after something more refined, there are better options out there.

Went for my little brother's 17th birthday. Table of 6 and we were in like an outside extension, by the time we were seated and had ordered it was still day time and not too cold although there was a draught. I ordered olives to start and the burger with the additional cheese and bacon. I paid £4.50 for 6 olives, I knew the restaurant was pricey but that's ridiculous, Thankfully the buyer and chips that came was lovely and worth the money. My parents ordered the salted sourdough bread and it was delicious, a must try. As the evening came it started to get cold where we were sitting and I had asked 3 different waiters if they could put the outdoor heating on and they all said yes however it took 30-40 mins for this to happen and by this time we were leaving. We couldn't have candles in the cake and we weren't allowed to eat the cake in the restaurant which was fine, but don't accept a cake if we can't light it or even eat it in the restaurant, it just doesn't make sense. Overall it turned out to be a lovely evening and the food was nice too. It is pricey but depending on what you order its worth it and just of the experience its worth it at least once. They do have a cheaper deal on during the week which would work out cheaper.

Had a lovely lunch at the Ivy, great food, brilliant service and great atmosphere.

First time at this restaurant and couldn’t fault it. The starter was to die for (crispy duck salad) could have had 3 courses of that and would have left happy. Fillet of beef was a good portion and very tasty and then to finish off the chocolate bomb hit the sweet spot. It was very busy but the service was excellent considering and I would not hesitate to dine here again or recommend.

The food does not make up for the poor quality of service. As other reviews mention, it takes forever to make eye contact with someone who wants to help. Went for the Valentines meal, got there at 15:30 and didn’t get our mains until 16:35 even though we had been waiting with empty starter plates for 20ish minutes. When I wanted to order more drinks, the waiter was very dismissive before I could even say anything and said ‘Your food will be ready soon’. Ordering the drinks was a waste of time to be honest because it didn’t come until we were almost done with our mains. Dessert was disappointing and stodgy. For a valentines event it was very disappointing and seemed ill prepared. Even at the hostess desk no one could find my reservation amongst 5 people. If kind of awkward because they kept saying they were ready but no one moved so when we went to walk through they flagged us back as if we were going to run through the restaurant. They also marked us as a no show which was kind of careless. I’ve worked in hospitality for 7 years so I’m very understanding of most situations, but here it’s clear training and professionalism is lacking. I would never neglect my customers like the staff I encountered. When I asked to remove the service charge the waiter even defensively asked me why, even though he didn’t ask the other table who did the same. Had been coming here for my birthdays and special events but definitely not doing that anymore. Not for some stodgy mash potatoes, undercooked egg and rock solid brownies

We had lunch on Wednesday at The Ivy Canary Wharf and requested a quiet table since one of us needed to take a video call. Service: We were seated in the semi-outdoor area to the left of the reception. The gentleman (I wish I’d caught his name) who attended our area provided impeccable service. He was efficient, professional, and keenly attuned to our requests—discreet and courteous, a perfect 10/10. Among all the Ivy branches we’ve experienced, his service stood out as top-notch. The food was generously portioned, beautifully crafted, and presented with flair. The décor and atmosphere exuded opulence, evoking an enchanting English garden, and were as stunning as any other Ivy.

Went there with my family. Food and environment was amazing. Good service by Jubayer. he was amazing.

Beautiful, elegant and good. Very busy on weekends

Jessica was the waitress,she knows to fix small problem with the order. She is smiling always. Thanks Jessica.

We’ve been at Ivy Canary Wharf for a dinner and like always, you can never leave disappointed. The service, food and atmosphere is just amazing. We can’t wait to be back another time.

ivy canary wharf food is very good, service is excellent. our waiter Rahman was very good.

I came for breakfast. I was in rush but my server gave me so much attention even though they were quite busy. I had quite a few amendments but she took it in stride and sorted everything for me. Her name was Chi or Che. But amazing

Jessica was a very amazing and helpful person.We had a waiting time of 30 min after an order but as soon we speak with her she resolved the problem straight away. Amazing services from her side. Thank you Jessica you are really kind😊

My server was Chi She was amazing. She anticipated my needs and made the experience so special. It was my partners birthday and she sang for us. It made the whole experience next level

Beautiful place and fantastic food, very efficient and friendly staff, I will definitely return

It's been awesome place for the food and specially for the taste and service. A great destination of outing for me.
