Ivy Asia, One New Change located just a stone’s throw from St. Paul’s Cathedral in Central London is one of the newest and trending restaurants in the city. I’ve heard so many people talking about it but we needed to save it for a special occasion. With my graduation and my partner’s birthday, what better time to come!

Inspired by East Asian culture, Ivy Asia takes this and dials it up to the max. The restaurant design is vivid and bright, with splashes of neon pink and green all over the place - but it manages to do it tastefully.

Surprisingly, the floors are really noteworthy…they’re so cool, backlit and colourful.

The restaurant has the best views of St. Paul’s Cathedral, if they have the curtains open.

The restaurant menu comprises of mostly Japanese and Chinese-inspired dishes, for the locations the prices aren’t ultra-expensive.

For starters, we opted for the stunning Ivy Asia Silver Shell - a sushi selection for three people. And yes, it tasted as good as it looked!

Here’s it in even greater detail…

Before moving onto some soft shell crab, again clad in silver. This was delightful.

The rest of the main meal was then comprised of other dishes such as Beef Sirloin, Sea Bass and skewers - these were all top notch.

And for dessert, we were offered a free congratulations mochi ice cream….so good after this meal.

And that was a congratulations both for the graduation, birthday but also our proposal - a big day for family celebrations on this day!

I would whole-heartedly recommend Ivy Asia to anybody looking to have a special meal out. The staff were excellent and made our experience even better - this is certainly a place in London that you should be checking out if you’re in town.
