The Ivy Asia St Paul's

Not worth the price. We went for lunch at St Pauls as a date and that was a mistake, it’s full of business people lunching and you are sat close together. I got the rib eye steak medium and it was verging on well done. There was nothing particularly wrong with the food but at £180 for 2 people with one soft drink each and 3 courses it’s way too expensive for what you get. Also the one in Mayfair is better for a date. The menu has a good selection for vegans however.

I had an amazing experience at Ivy Asia St Paul’s. The ambience was stunning, and the food was absolutely superb. Service from Matthew was exceptional — he was kind, attentive, and truly went above and beyond our expectations. His expertise and recommendations were spot on; the seared beef and chicken teriyaki were both outstanding, and the cheesecake dessert was super delicious. Thank you so much for a fantastic dining experience! Highly recommend.

The restaurant is absolutely beautiful and very authentic, with an incredible view of St. Paul’s Cathedral — that alone makes the visit worthwhile. The food was good and enjoyable, but not particularly memorable; I would describe it as solid, well-executed Asian cuisine rather than something truly outstanding. Unfortunately, the service felt quite flat. All of the staff, including the managers, seemed very serious, tired, and not very welcoming — no smiles, and at times they even appeared a bit irritated. It was noticeable that they were understaffed or overwhelmed by the workload, which clearly affected the overall experience. I would still recommend the place if service is not your top priority and you are mainly looking for a beautiful setting with a stunning view rather than a culinary revelation. Tip: there is a corner table by the window in the corner of the dining room with the best view (shown in the last photo) — if possible, try to reserve that one.
