Caprice Holdings (the group which encompasses some of London's favourite restaurants; Le Caprice, Daphne's and The Ivy etc) have taken over Pavilion restaurant & bar on High Street Kensington for The Ivy Kensington Brasserie.
Set in the space previously occupied by Pavilion’s Restaurant and Bar, The Ivy Kensington Brasserie offers an accessible, sophisticated all-day dining spot.
For the food, expect avocado and spinach Benedict and griddled buttermilk pancakes with smoked streaky sweet-cured bacon, drizzled with maple syrup for breakfast and lunch and dinner dishes (and all-day menu, available from 11.30am until late) including grilled whole lobster with parsley and garlic butter and thick cut chips; brioche crumbed chicken Milanese with fried hen’s egg and black truffle. For dessert expect their signature melting chocolate bombe with milk foam, vanilla ice cream and honeycomb centre with hot salted caramel sauce. Alongside the dining menu a specially curated cocktail list will feature 12 bespoke cocktails – both traditional and contemporary in style.
For the decor, (from Martin Brudnizki Design Studio) expect a striking emerald bar, vintage-style green bar stools and leather banquettes alongside striking brass light fittings, decorative mirrors and marble flooring, creating a sophisticated yet vibrant atmosphere.
As with The Ivy Kensington Brasserie’s sister sites, The Ivy Market Grill, The Ivy Chelsea Garden and the recently opened Ivy Café in Marylebone, tables will be held back for walk-ins.
