Celebrating Our First Wedding Anniversary At The Ivy Clifton Brasserie

Time flies when you are stuck in your house for the majority of your first year of marriage… or does it fly?

I would be lying if I said that I thought my first year of marriage would look the way that it did. But we feel so lucky and thankful to have gotten married when we did. Who knows when we would have been able to do so otherwise?

This first anniversary, believe it or not, Paul is working, but we have nipped away to The Ivy Clifton Brasserie for our anniversary breakfast.

Overlooking The Mall Gardens, The Ivy Clifton Brasserie Restaurant brings relaxed, sophisticated all-day dining to the heart of Bristol’s ceaselessly chic Clifton Village. From modern British cuisine to café-style classics and fantastic vegan and vegetarian dishes, you’ll find something for everyone to love.

As well as the main restaurant, they have a bar, an orangery, and two private dining rooms for those special celebrations. In the main room, the high ceilings and huge windows give a wonderful feeling of space, while the impressive brass chandeliers, Art-Deco detail, and burnt orange banquettes bring a sense of informal luxury.

It’s the ideal spot for tourists, shoppers, and locals alike to enjoy breakfast, brunch, dinner, and lunch, or sample our range of bespoke cocktails – from the classic to the contemporary.

On top of the lovely service, and delicious food… we were sent over the loveliest anniversary surprise. You see, as we visit The Ivy quite frequently, management has come to know who we are.

And upon arrival, the lovely manager Mimmo recalled that it must be our first wedding anniversary. We were so shocked that he had even remembered, and to our further surprise when the anniversary pudding was sent over, we had the loveliest treat.
