Theatrical pan-Asian dining with St Paul’s views

The Ivy Asia St Paul’s is one of the City’s most glamorous dining rooms — an all-day pan-Asian restaurant set moments from St Paul’s Cathedral, with floor-to-ceiling windows that frame the dome in all its glory.

What to order

The pan-Asian menu draws on the head chef’s travels across Tokyo, Cambodia and Vietnam. Signature dishes include the prawn har gau dumplings, the volcano roll sushi and the sublime miso black cod — 48-hour miso-marinated Alaskan sablefish, slow-roasted to perfection. For dessert, the Golden Dragon is a showstopper, with passion fruit doughnuts, warm chocolate sauce, sesame crème brûlée and mochi. Sushi, tempura, noodles and elevated sticky pork round out the à la carte, alongside afternoon tea.

The Space

The interior is pure theatre: a fluorescent pink onyx floor, gilded details and intricate wood carvings, plush velvet seating, an antique gold mirrored bar and panelled artwork depicting Japanese landscapes, with an upstairs floor lit by green semi-precious stone. It’s a striking contrast between old London grandeur and bold, modern Asian glamour, and the floor-to-ceiling windows keep St Paul’s in view throughout.

Who it’s for

This is a destination for stylish celebrations, special occasions and lively, late-night dining, often with a DJ adding to the vibe. If you prefer a quieter meal, aim for lunch or an early midweek evening; for atmosphere and drama, the later it gets, the better.
