The Ivy Liverpool Brasserie is an all day restaurant on Castle Street in the city centre. Its colourful, polished interior brings a sense of occasion to breakfast, lunch and dinner while retaining the approachable rhythm of a busy brasserie. The location works for local diners, visitors and anyone meeting before an evening in central Liverpool.
Breakfast and brunch lead into an à la carte menu that combines familiar British dishes with contemporary international influences. Small plates and starters support a shorter visit, while fish, meat, pasta and plant based mains offer a broader meal. Seasonal editions introduce new ingredients without removing the classics associated with The Ivy.
Afternoon tea, Sunday dining and a children’s selection extend the restaurant’s range across the week. Desserts keep the presentation celebratory, and private rooms provide a separate setting for group occasions. Dietary requirements should be discussed with the team so that the current menus and preparation can be checked accurately.
Cocktails, wine and late night drinks allow the venue to continue beyond dinner. Upstairs, The Ivy Asia is a distinct restaurant rather than part of this brasserie menu, an important difference for guests choosing where to book. The Ivy Liverpool Brasserie offers reliable all day variety in a setting designed to reflect the energy and confidence of the city.
