We went on Thursday evening for your grand opening & we had an amazing time - your venue is stunning, the view is breathtaking, food was amazing & the portion sizes are huge!! Staff are very friendly & offer good service!
My friend who was visiting us from the UK loved it & it finished of her holiday perfectly - we will defiantly be back ���
Awesome view and atmosphere, great for sundowners. Great addition to Bedfordview. Surprised by the options available on the menu. Good food and service.
Had a wonderful lunch here yesterday with my family. The staff were very friendly and always making sure we were set. We never had to wait or call for our server. I started off my meal with the “death by chocolate” milkshake... bad choice haha. It is so big and full of chocolate that I had to stop or I would spoil my meal. For my main meal I had sushi and it was amazing. I would definitely recommend that deep fried California rolls. A family member had the chicken tagliatelle pesto and I had a bite. Full of flavor. You will not be disappointed when you go there. Great for a nice Sunday lunch vibe. It is slightly pricey - but you get what you pay for.
This place offers great views, good food and a great vibe overall. Felt like I was in Cape Town for a bit. Shout out to their bar tender! 👌🏽
Upperclas funky and beautiful people . Excellent service and even better food . Cold coffee though they must make a plan. Will be back. Try the fillet or rump skewer both Devine
Went for a sushi date night. And I was highly impressed since I was up to choose the next place 😍. Not a sushi fan but there’s is so good I’m starting to have days whereby I crave some 😂. Great music, Breathtaking views and a great night out in the east. Definitely go again for sushi of ofcourse 😏. Ps: He choose the sushi dish
A breathe of fresh air, literally 😊 I always love elevated restaurants! The views are gorgeous, the ambiance too. Our cocktails and tapas selection was all delicious. We will be back soon.
Rooftops bars are definitely a thing nowadays. With a great view and perfect for a summers day, with a few tapas and cocktails for ladies catch up - this is the perfect place.
Very pretty set up and great vibe. Its a must try.
I've been to champagne Ivy twice now. Being a fairly new restaurant I think it still needs to be seen and appreciated by many more joburgers.
My first impression of the place was that it's a great place! The atmosphere is lovely, you have a view of joburg city. Its an Open plan which must be lovely in summer.
The burger was to die for! I absolutely loved it ...I will come back for It! And the gin cocktail is amazing. I hope more people get to experience it..it deserves more than what it's currently rated. Give it a Try!
Lovely views and a nice vibe. The tapas was yummy and the sushi looked spectacular. Great range of gins ;) The music improved as the evening went on.
This past weekend, we decided to try out this rooftop bar co-owned by Ricardo Da Costa for sundowners and found it tucked away in a quiet office block in Bedfordview.
The Ivy Champagne Garden certainly boasts some spectacular views of the Johannesburg skyline providing some reasoning to the conjecture that Johannesburg may in fact be the world’s largest man-made urban forest.
On this first visit, we were not aware that in order to get a table (and sample the Afro-Asian menu), a reservation was required so instead we opted to sit at the bar and have some cocktails.
Onto the food.. I will reserve my opinion for when we return to eat, but, on this first visit, I did at least get the chance to look over the menu which seems to offer tapas, sushi and a range of burgers.
Although this is a lovely spot for sundowners, there are three important t&c's to note when booking:
1. For tables of 10 or more dining, a minimum spend of R250 per person is required (with a 10% service charge) and
2. A deposit of R100 per person is required on tables of 10 or more.
3. This rooftop bar has a strict 12am closing time (probably due to the residential area that it is situated next to).
What I found rather odd on Saturday was that it clearly states that the age restriction is no under 23 years old and yet the place was FULL of little girls celebrating a 15th birthday party complete with numerical balloons and all the frills. A little odd target market for an exclusive Supper Club / Champagne Bar.
*Recommendation: The Ivy is the 'it' place to be seen at the moment in the East so I'd recommend booking in order to avoid disappointment!

Great spot for lunch or sundowners. Vibe is excellent and staff top notch. It's definitely a strong recommendation from my side, and we will be back soon.
Food is of great quality, and prices are quite reasonable. The sushi was some of the best i have ever had.
Really great views of the city and the surrounds
Absolutely wow.... What a gorgeous place to be in when catching up with friends or taking your partner out for a treat. VIBS are amazing, music is on point. Food it seriously on another level.
Its a must go see if your into the high life scene. Views are beautiful.
I was disappointed to find that they don't have a bottomless mimosas special. For a champagne garden you'd expect such. I was a little disappointed in the food because the chicken wings were not fully cooked. Overall I enjoyed my experience, I'd like to see some bottomless mimosas next time.
Great atmosphere, good Sushi😍 but I’m not a fan of your chairs at the back row. Super uncomfortable for anyone to sit, eat and drink.
Great music and atmosphere, the staff was very friendly and patient with us. The food was delicious and did not take too long to be served.
Take note: there’s No physical booklet menu, you scan the QR code on the table to access the menu. (Some smartphone cameras can scan QR codes without a 3rd party app but some might need a 3rd party app).
Went for late drink and got seated fine but the waiter service was poor, went to the bar to get my own. Good vibe, place for drinking and dancing to the DJ. Will go back and try the food next time
Beautiful venue! It's a pity we couldn't see the accompanying views clearly because the blinds were broken.
The food was very good and the strawberry daiquiri is one of the best I've ever had.
We were there for lunch, and it was fairly quiet. However, by the time we left in the late afternoon, the vibe was clearly changing from picturesque lunch venue to raucous party venue. Seems like there's something for everyone.
Great vibes, food is delicious and there’s a wide variety of drinks available. Only issues is the service especially when they’re busier but that’s understandable. Would recommend for a night out with friends. There is also a live DJ most nights as well.
Awesome restaurant. Chilled vibe and the staff are so friendly and accommodating. We ordered food and drinks and everything arrived within drive thru speed. The Ivy sunset is a bomb drink! Yum yum!
Don't let the looks and photos of this place put you down... It looks elegant and fancy which it is but you can also be casual and cool, it does get busy and a more viby as the sun goes down but you can still enjoy a meal and drinks... The food is so good but my favorite was the baklava cheese cake... It was absolutely delicious! Every mouthful was just as delicious. I didn't finish my starters or my mains but I wasn't going to waste that cheese cake.
