The Ivy Harrogate
The Ivy's Harrogate dining room: all-day brasserie menu in a deliberately theatrical setting.
The Ivy Harrogate is the local outpost of the national brasserie group, and it plays to the same strengths: a lavishly decorated room, an all-day menu and service geared to occasions.
Practically, that makes it one of the more flexible places in the centre — breakfast, a mid-afternoon table, cocktails or a full dinner all sit on the same menu, which is unusual in Harrogate.
It is not the place to look for local independence, but it is well run, central, and handles birthdays and family gatherings smoothly. Book ahead for weekend evenings and for afternoon tables in summer.
