After great success in Dublin, celeb favourite - The Ivy - is bringing its signature glamour to Belfast's city centre.

Located in the stunning historic building, Cleaver House, right on the corner of Donegall Place, there will be fantastic views over the city centre.

Once home to the famous Robinson & Cleaver department store, the building was constructed in 1888.

The site was most recently occupied with fast food chain Burger King, which is now moving to Victoria Square.

So, what can we expect from The Ivy in Belfast?

If this space is anything like the others within the global franchise, we can look forward to everything from mouth-watering breakfasts to decadent a la carte selections and show-stopping cocktails.

Inside, we expect the designers will make use of the space’s high ceilings and large windows Cleaver House has on offer.

The first Ivy opened at West Street in London more than a century ago, and now has more than 30 restaurants across the UK.

In 2018, it opened a restaurant on Dawson Street in Dublin’s city centre.

The website reads: "Located in a lively part of the city centre, the restaurant offers a luxurious haven from Dublin’s everyday bustle.

"Glamorous Art-Deco detail, polished marble floors and striking burnt orange banquettes let you relax in style while enjoying breakfast, brunch, dinner, lunch, or one of our unique Dawson Street cocktails."

We can’t wait!
