The Ivy Asia Mayfair

You're walking into one of those Mayfair restaurants where you can almost hear the money. The Ivy Asia does that thing where it feels effortlessly glamorous without trying too hard—think moody lighting, polished service and enough energy to make you feel like you're part of something. The kitchen pulls from across Asia with confidence: expect exquisite dim sum, precisely executed sushi, and Thai and Japanese dishes that don't mess about. It's the sort of place where you'll see people actually enjoying their food rather than photographing it, though the plates are undeniably Instagram-worthy.
