As I watch the news about the UK
going into lockdown again, I can’t help but reminisce about the little bit of freedom
we had over the summer. Walking into a restaurant or bar felt as exhilarating as
getting on a plane. The first time I got the chance to go out for lunch post
lockdown 1.0, my friend and I went to The Ivy Asia St Paul’s. I’ve been wanting
to go for a while as I’d heard good reviews, so jumped at the chance when we
got a table. This Asian fusion
restaurant is one of the newest in the IVY collection which specialises mostly,
but not exclusively, in Japanese and Korean cuisine. This restaurant
in St Pauls is spectacular. The emerald green floor covered in semi-precious
stones is one of the main focal points you notice as you walk in. I also loved the eye-catching
artwork, opulent fabrics, and stunning blossom tree (one you’ll notice all over
Instagram).
