The Ivy Market Grill, the newest offering in Richard Caring’s Caprice restaurant group, will open 24 November, with a grill restaurant and bar as well as a café with a 40 seat external dining terrace overlooking the historical buildings of Covent Garden.
A place to pop into for weekend brunch, a casual meal, afternoon tea or a pre-theatre supper, the restaurant has been designed to cater for “walk-ins”, as well as those that want to book. It will offer customers a more relaxed and informal dining experience than The Ivy, but will take inspiration from its more famous cousin.
The Ivy Market Grill will have the same British racing green colours as The Ivy as well as similar wood panelling, copper pans, silver sauce boats, Ivy-style steak knives and staff uniforms. The menu will also have its own versions of some of the more famous Ivy dishes.
The new venue will be set over two floors and will open from 7am to midnight, Monday to Friday offering breakfast, afternoon tea, a pre and post theatre menu and an A La Carte lunch and dinner menu. The opening hours on Saturday and Sunday will be 8am – midnight and 8am – 11pm respectively, with brunch also available at weekends.
Richard Caring, Chairman of Caprice Holdings, said: “I am really excited about The Ivy Market Grill – it really does have something for everyone, whether that is an A La Carte dinner or a quick bite as you watch the world go by. I strongly believe that there’s plenty of room in the market place for different styles of The Ivy.”
Fernando Peire, Director at The Ivy, who has worked at the famous restaurant for more than two decades, has been closely involved in the making of The Ivy Market Grill.
He said: “This restaurant can almost be viewed as the little sister of The Ivy but with its own distinct character. The extensive menu and outdoor seating will give customers a whole panoply of different dining experiences in the heart of historic Covent Garden.”
