It’s The Chip but on another level (just one flight of stairs). An experimental kitchen brings a menu made for sharing with an array of small and big plates - all seasonally produced and a little different from your normal Scottish fare. The Upstairs Brasserie offers a casual dining experience for any time of day. Daily specials let our chef’s get creative and often just satisfy the staff’s cravings. The food is, locally and ethically sourced. Find a seat on the mezzanine and overlook the courtyard in full swing or get cosy in our Brasserie amongst the colourful and slightly abstract paintings.

What a great experience, we were there for my son's graduation lunch and we were looked after so well. The staff at the Ivy are amazing and i can't thank them enough. The food was superb and a great selection and we all have very different tastes. The timings were spot in too. Absolutely recommend here for a special occasion.

Celebrating our anniversary with a meal before the cinema, greeted by the staff member with a friendly smile, she showed a keenness on what we were doing later and if we were celebrating, she wished us a happy anniversary before we left as well. Our waiter was excellent and attentive, we were not rushed and able to enjoy our meal in a leisurely manner.
