Granary Square Brasserie


Hello! It’s me again, your favourite inconsistent blogger, haha ;). But all of that is about to change! We’re approaching the final stretch of 2019 and after a somewhat intentional social media hiatus, I’m back and vowing to do better (if I don’t, I give you permission to call me out!). And in that vein I’ve not just come here to reintroduce myself, but to share a review of a new restaurant I recently visited.

The Granary Square Brasserie is a branch of the Ivy chain which may come as no surprise to anyone who has already visited. From the interior, to the food and even the cocktail menu, this place has all the components synonymous with all other Ivy Collection restaurants.  If you’ve never been to an Ivy Collection restaurant (I’ll be surprised, there are so many), just think sophistication, relaxed luxury with a sprinkle of glamour. The Granary Square Brasserie is no exception, with its colourful yet classic vintage elegance; it’s the perfect place to go if you’re looking for a casual yet polished dining experience.
 

Much like the other Ivy Collection restaurants, the Brasserie menu features a selection of British classics with a dash of pan-Asian dishes here and a sprinkle of Italian there. As well as breakfast, brunch and dinner menus, the Brasserie also has separate vegan and vegetarian menus, ensuring everyone is catered for. The dishes are kept simple, but well executed, which I love!


I had a portion the truffle arancini to start, and honest I could have had two more.  The arancini was delicious, crispy on the outside, soft, moist, just beautiful on the inside. I washed it down with a few glasses of champagne. My one suggestion would be to add more truffle but I’d put truffle on everything if I could so maybe don’t listen to me? Anyway, if you haven’t tried it, go and tell them Michelle sent you.
My main was the rib-eye on the bone, medium of course, accompanied with truffle & parmesan chips – basically a posh steak and chips! This is kind of hard to get wrong, so I was happy.  For dessert I went for the Chocolate Bombe and, after hearing the table beside me raving about the cocktails I decided to try one. I opted for the British Royale which had just two ingredients, sloe gin and sparkling wine, both things I love! Haha.

I definitely recommend checking out the Granary Square Brasserie. It is a great eatery with impressive décor and an extensive menu that caters to all without breaking the bank. You can be certain you won’t leave the Brasserie feeling hungry.
