The Ivy Cafe Blackheath brings the polished all day style of The Ivy Collection to Montpelier Vale in the heart of Blackheath Village. Its detailed art deco dining room, caramel coloured banquettes and prominent bar create an elegant yet approachable setting, while outdoor tables add a continental feel in warmer weather. The restaurant is close to Blackheath Halls, making it a convenient choice before a performance or for drinks afterwards.
Breakfast ranges from pastries, fruit and coconut yoghurt with seeds to a full English plate of bacon, sausages, eggs, potato rösti, black pudding, mushrooms and tomato. Eggs Benedict, eggs royale, smoked salmon, omelettes and avocado on toast provide lighter alternatives, while buttermilk pancakes add something sweeter. At weekends the brunch menu extends the morning selection into the afternoon.
The main menu combines familiar Ivy signatures with contemporary starters and seasonal additions. Crispy duck salad, salt and pepper squid, smoked salmon, cheese soufflé and steak tartare sit alongside vegetable dishes such as garden pea soup and jackfruit salad. Guests can then move to shepherd’s pie, chicken Milanese, premium aged steak, teriyaki salmon or fish and prawn curry with aromatic rice.
Vegetarian and vegan menus include sweet potato and spinach curry, grilled halloumi, vegetable salads and plant based dishes designed as complete meals rather than simple sides. Afternoon tea, children’s choices and group menus make the restaurant flexible across different occasions. Classic desserts such as the melting chocolate bombe, crème brûlée and seasonal pavlova can be paired with coffee, cocktails or wine from the bar.
