Disappointing

For an upmarket restaurant with some interesting non-vegan options, the vegan options are thoroughly uninspiring and disappointing.

When we went the soya strip bang bang salad was off the menu, leaving us 2 options of starters, both of which were salads... which were also the main course options.

One of us had the curry, which was pleasant but tends to always be the vegan option in any restaurant, and the other the miso aubergine. The curry was tasty and flavoured well, the miso aubergine was also but a very tiny portion of approximately half a cup of bulgar wheat with half an aubergine. Hardly a main course.

It feels like The Ivy have just used the 'Ivy Asia' menu for their vegan options so if you aren't a fan of those flavours you're stuck.

Sour dough bread is vegan, but not marked as such on the menu as it is served with butter, but available with olive oil and balsamic. Missing a trick not highlighting this.

Desserts even more uninspiring - sorbet or fresh mixed fruit. 2010 dessert menu options! The coconut panna cotta was interesting but again, served with lime and chilli, feels too Asian inspired when The Ivy is a 'classic British restaurant, when you take into account the options for starter and main were also Asian inspired.

Drinks were nice, service as expected (careful of the automatic 12.5% service charge). Wines are not listed as vegan/vegetarian so stuck to known vegan offerings.

Expensive, probably wouldn't go back unless part of a larger mixed omni group.
