The St David’s Partnership, owners of St David’s in Cardiff, one of the UK’s premier retail and leisure destinations, has today announced the signing of high-end eatery, The Ivy Cardiff, the brand’s first restaurant in Wales.
The Ivy Collection, a group of over 30 Ivy Brasseries and Ivy Cafés across the UK, will open the new two-floor 5,600 sq ft brasserie this Autumn, serving up to 284 covers with outdoor seating and a private dining space with views across The Hayes.
