The Ivy Cafe Richmond

Every time I go out to play, I will open this food platform to take a look. This time, it is called Buenos Aires Argentine Steakhouse on the platform recommendation. After punching in, it is as good as ever. Five-star praise. I hope not to be proud and continue to work hard.

We went for lunch as a last minute decision and were not disappointed. Relaxed, friendly atmosphere. Loved chatting to the owners about the history of the place and their journey to be there. Food was great.... parpadelle with slow cooked lamb (large portion but a taste sensation) and stone bass with cabbage and anchovy (delicious - maybe the look did not quite reflect how good the taste was). I&rsquo;d also highly recommend the brocolli side dish which I could have eaten as a main. Deserts (Budino [chocolate pudding in photo] and tiramisu) were unnecessary but truly lovely. We had been previously and noticed how much brighter and elegant the place looked this time. Sad it has had to close with lock down but we will definitely be back.

Just as it describes itself, this is the epitome of an old English pub but for us, it lacked atmosphere. The pub was quite empty and unfortunately there was a rather loud male chatting incessantly to the bar man at a very loud volume. We almost felt like we were intruding in a private meeting. It&#39;s quite quirky inside with ample seating and a number of separate rooms, including an outside area. We noted that they were strictly adhering to the COVID requirements which was reassuring. They have quite a decent range of beers which was nice but we didn&#39;t feel an urge to linger. We didn&#39;t eat here but did notice that the menu is full of the usual pub staples, ie., everything with chips! It&#39;s nice enough but not a pub we would visit again, it just lacked something.

Ordered a delivery on a Saturday, and we were a little disappointed with the portion sizes. When paying nearly &pound;12 per main I would expect a little more lamb / chicken in the main dishes. We had about 4 to 5 pieces. Have ordered from here before and was worth the money, so maybe it was a one off. But it would make me consider somewhere else next time. Food tasted good, but had to be reheated on receiving the delivery.

Bottomless brunch was amazing!Bottomless brunch was amazing! Especially Leonard who was our waiter for the day and he was exceptional!! Looking forward to our next visit
