Wednesday Steak Night at The Ivy

4.0 out of 5.0 stars

Every Wednesday evening, it’s Steak Night at branches of The Ivy across town (with the exception of the hallowed original Ivy). Diners can go small and simple and pick the Minute Steak with peppercorn sauce, crispy onions and triple-cooked chips for £14.95. For those with larger appetites, there’s an appealing £25 deal that includes a choice of steak, served with one side and one sauce. We fall into the large appetite category, so we headed to the Ivy in the Park in Canary Wharf on a Wednesday night to try the £25 offer.

The Canary Wharf branch of The Ivy is housed in a purpose-built two-storey building that is dwarfed by the surrounding tower blocks. It’s just a short walk from the tube, DLR and Elizabeth Line stations. The restaurant itself is comfortable and lively, and, as one would expect from an Ivy, it’s lushly and florally decorated. Service at this branch is charming and professional.

Steak Night diners can try a mini Martini for a fiver. However, we were in the mood for long drinks. There’s a good list of G&Ts available, from which I picked the Chase Pink Pomelo, served with Fever-Tree Indian tonic and a fat slice of pink grapefruit. The combination of sharp, sweet citrus and gin was delicious. This will be my go-to Ivy drink (if it stays on the menu).

My friend, meanwhile, ventured into the Seasonal Classics cocktail menu, opting for the Champagne and Pear Mojito. This was quite a departure from the usual combo of rum, lime, sugar and mint. Instead, it’s a mix of Ron Santiago de Cuba 8-year-old, Double Jus, pear, mint, a citric blend, and Champagne. This was quite sweet with a hint of peardrop but pleasingly alcoholic.

The Steak Night deal offers a choice of four different steaks, five sauces and four sides (you can add extra sides for £5 each). Choices, choices. My friend had the Rib-eye on the Bone (12oz, 21-day Himalayan salt-walled, dry-aged, grass-fed) with the mushroom sauce. She opted for her steak to be cooked medium, and it wasn’t long before she’d pronounced it delicious and stripped it down to the bone. The A La Carte menu offers the rib-eye for £39.95 (with a sauce but no sides), so the Wednesday deal is a true bargain.

Across the table, I was enjoying my flame-grilled Fillet Steak, cooked rare and served with Bearnaise sauce. This was super savoury, tender and with a nicely charred edge.

We decided to share our two chosen sides, the triple-cooked chips and the green beans with roasted almonds. I thought the beans could have done with another minute on the heat, but my friend found them spot on. The chips at The Ivy are chunky and perfectly fine, though I (personally) prefer my steak with classic French frites.

If they have room, Steak Night diners can take advantage of a £5 dessert/cheese menu. My friend had the Classic Frozen Berries – a big bowl of berries and redcurrants with frozen yoghurt (complete with dried ice) and hot white chocolate sauce. This dish is normally £10.50, so another bargain.

I had the Flambéed Crème Brulée with vanilla custard and a golden caramelised sugar crust. The menu suggested this would be flambéed tableside, but if it was, I was quite oblivious. Anyway, it was a very good example of a crème brulée, with smooth, silky custard and a topping that was sweet and crunchy without being tooth-breaking.

The Ivy’s Wednesday Steak Night is a great deal for cost-conscious post-Christmas food lovers who still want to go out and enjoy themselves.
