The 10 most booked restaurants in London according to OpenTable - with The Ivy dominating the list

OpenTable analyses more than 400,000 reviews every month to come up with its most booked list in London.

Although the original, prestigious The Ivy is not on the list, its offshoots around the city dominate the top 10, with seven places taken up by the famous London institution.

Here are your top 10 most booked restaurants in London over the past month:

1. The Ivy Asia, Mayfair

This spin-off Ivy establishment has proved a hit since opening in 2019, with the stunning views over St Paul’s a big attraction. The menu builds on some of the Ivy’s classic Asian dishes to offer a full a la carte service, with a similarly themed drinks selection to boot.

2. Ivy Market Grill, Covent Garden

The second edition of The Ivy on this list offers the more traditional modern European gastronomy you’d expect from the London classic eatery. A typically impressive dining room is complemented by a wide range of cocktails and even a cream tea offering if that’s your, er, cup of tea.

4. The Ivy City Garden, Bishopsgate Gardens

The Ivy City Garden certainly lives up to its name with its plant-filled interior offering a breath of fresh air right beside Liverpool Street station. A strong breakfast and brunch menu means this east London luxury restaurant makes a great choice for a business meeting early in the day.

5. The Ivy Soho Brasserie

The pop art inspired interior of this Ivy chain sets itself apart from most of the rest of the group, with its Soho location perhaps calling for a more chic aesthetic. A DJ spinning in the dining room from 7pm on Fridays and Saturdays allows you to enjoy the opulence of the Ivy with a twist of Soho subculture to go with it.

6. The Ivy Chelsea Garden

Located on the King’s Road in the heart of west London, this Ivy restaurant offers an oasis of calm and greenery away from the busy shoppers outside. Try to get a table in the garden if you can and enjoy the luxurious menu in some lush surroundings and a daily dose of time with plants.

7. The Ivy in the Park, Canary Wharf

Don’t let the name fool you, this Ivy chain is located in Canary Wharf and a more business clientele, rather than park loungers. It could be a good option if you’re looking to dine with some tunes spinning, as it has live DJs from 6pm on Fridays and 3pm on Saturdays.

8. The Ivy Victoria Brasserie

The final Ivy restaurant in this list features all the class you might expect from its proximity to Buckingham Palace. A great option if you’re around the city, perhaps entertaining some friends who want to see the sights for the weekend, but are in need of a classy watering hole.

3. Balthazar London, Covent Garden

If you’re looking for a taste of Paris in central London, then this French bistro institution is sure to hit the spot. Located in the heart of Theatreland, Balthazar is a good choice for an either pre or post-theatre meal.

9. Bacchanalia, Mayfair

A restaurant worth a visit for the interiors alone, Bacchanalia promises the best in Mediterranean cuisine that the city has to offer. With a menu inspired by the Grecco-Roman tradition of large feasts, you might want to skip on lunch before a trip down to Mayfair.

10. Hawksmoor Air Street

Already regarded as one of the top steakhouses in the city, the Air Street branch of Hawksmoor has more of a seafood twist which has proved popular with clientele. Located just moments from Piccadilly Circus, you can see why Londonders have flocked to this spot in their droves.
