The Ivy Kensington Brasserie

Perched on Kensington High Street, just a leisurely stroll from the Royal Albert Hall and Kensington Palace, The Ivy Kensington Brasserie is tailor-made for those moments when you want to impress without shouting about it.

The sleek restaurant hums with that polished West London energy – smart enough for a client lunch, relaxed enough for a celebratory dinner with friends – and the group dining space is where it truly comes into its own.

Private dining events at The Ivy Kensington Brasserie

The semi-private area, seating 9 to 12 around one long table, is ideal for those occasions that call for something more special than a standard booking, but don’t quite need a full private room.

Think milestone birthdays, pre-concert suppers, discreet business meetings or family get-togethers where you want everyone in one place, glasses clinking down a single elegant table. It has that “dining club” feel: convivial, stylish and just a touch exclusive.

Set on its own level, the space gives you a subtle sense of separation from the main restaurant while still keeping you connected to the buzz. You’re not shut away – instead, you get a great vantage point over the room, with the comfort of knowing that your conversation and toasts have their own little stage. It’s the best of both worlds: intimacy without isolation.

On the plate, expect sophisticated, crowd-pleasing dishes and seasonal menus that feel suitably elevated for the setting. This is the kind of place where you can confidently host a working lunch, a small celebration or a pre‑Hall dinner and know that everyone will be well looked after, well fed and quietly impressed.

For anyone hunting for a chic semi-private dining option in the Kensington district, The Ivy Kensington Brasserie should be high on the shortlist.
