Words by Jamie McFadden
An air of anticipation has been moving through Liverpool for the last few months, and now, it’s official. The city’s social calendar has its next landmark event – the grand opening of The Ivy Asia Liverpool on Tuesday 4th November. The confirmation arrived not with a simple press release, but with a spectacle that stopped bustling Castle Street in its tracks and was characteristic of The Ivy Collection.
Those heading out on their Tuesday lunch break were greeted by giant, whimsical cherry blossom trees, their branches heavy with opulent golden envelopes, creating an unexpected canopy in the heart of the city. This was the brand’s enchanting invitation to the city, a promise of the immersive experience that is to come. Castle Street was filled with the vibrant energy of dragon ribbon dancers, weaving a thread of traditional Asian theatre through Liverpool, while passers-by were treated to The Ivy Asia’s own fortune cookies – a sweet, clever hint at the distinctive flavours awaiting discovery.
This is more than just a new restaurant; it’s a new destination in Liverpool. Settling into the hallowed halls of the former Bank of England building where The Ivy Brasserie opened in 2024, The Ivy Asia Liverpool is poised to become the backdrop for the city’s most memorable moments. It promises a heady blend of opulent interiors and a signature ambiance that is bustling with energy. Whether plotted as the setting for a lavish dinner with friends, an incredible lunch or late-night cocktails, it’s clear this is where Liverpool will convene to see and be seen.
At its heart, of course, lies the food. The menu is a celebration of Asia’s boldest and most distinctive flavours, a carefully curated journey that spotlights the finest seasonal ingredients. Think delectable sushi and sashimi, an array of flavoursome small plates designed for sharing and stunning main courses that are as much a feast for the eyes as the palate. The experience begs to be finished with one of their signature desserts to share, the final, sweet note in a truly memorable experience.
As Laura Mills, Managing Director of The Ivy Group, reflects, “We know how much Liverpool loves The Ivy Asia, and we’re thrilled that this vibrant city now has its very own. It offers more than just dining — it’s a place to create memorable experiences.”
