INDULGE IN BOLD FLAVOURS AND CLASSICS WITH A TWIST WITH THE SUMMER SEASONAL MENU AT THE IVY COLLECTION

From sun-ripened tomatoes and juicy watermelon to fragrant herbs and aromatic spices, the menu is a true celebration of colour, freshness, and creativity.

This summer, The Ivy Collection invites guests to embark on a vibrant culinary journey with its newly launched seasonal menu. Carefully curated by The Ivy’s team of chefs, the menu highlights the best of summer flavours while drawing inspiration from around the world.

From the refreshing sweetness of heirloom tomatoes and watermelon to the bold spice of Keralan curries and Korean gochujang, the new dishes strike a perfect balance between comfort and adventure. Guests can expect an exciting blend of global flavours, modern plant-based options, and elegant takes on seasonal classics.

Stars of the starters include the new Heirloom Tomato and Watermelon Salad, topped with plant-based cream cheese, pistachios, olives and a tangy tomato and sherry dressing, and the Duck Liver Parfait, topped with caramelised hazelnuts and an apricot and apple chutney, served with a lightly toasted brioche.

Starting with the delicately spiced Monkfish and Prawn Keralan Curry, which includes red fish, sweet potato, spinach and chilli, served with fluffy rice, with a plant-based version available. This is joined by a Gochujang Glazed Aubergine Salad; a burst of colours with sesame, pickled radish and wonton, served with sticky rice and topped with a jalapeño and avocado dressing. Korean Glazed Grilled Chicken Salad also joins the selection, topped with sesame, avocado, yuzu-pickled mooli, served with sticky rice and paired with a miso and ponzu dressing.

A celebration of seafood also joins the mains with the Pan-roasted Fillet of Salmon drizzled with a pink peppercorn hollandaise sauce, and accompanied by broccoli, lemon and watercress, as well as the Crab and Queen Scallop Nero Linguine; squid ink pasta with tomato, basil, parsley and chilli.
