This Autumn, The Ivy Cardiff is hosting an unforgettable event to celebrate Beaujolais Day. On Thursday 20th November, guests can enjoy an exclusive two to three-course menu alongside dazzling live entertainment and a fruity Beaujolais, of course.
Beaujolais Day, a staple event in Cardiff’s vibrant social calendar, is the celebration of Beaujolais Nouveau; a vibrant and fruity red wine produced in Burgundy, France. Beaujolais Day marks the start of the year’s harvest and is held annually in the third week each November. For many in Cardiff, it’s a chance to get dressed up and head into the city to celebrate with family and friends.
To drink on the day, guests can enjoy Domaine de Colonat Beaujolais Villages Nouveau 2025, a balanced and elegant wine with a generous fruit profile. To pair with the wine, The Ivy Cardiff is offering an exclusive, French-inspired 3-course meal for £50, or 2-courses for £45. The menu includes a selection of Ivy favourites, alongside exclusive dishes, carefully curated by the restaurant’s executive chefs for the special occasion.
Starters include:
- A rich and savoury French Onion Soup, finished with golden gratinated cheese croutons and topped with fresh parsley.
- Lobster and Cheese Souffle, a luxurious twice-baked soufflé, with fresh lobster and mature cheese, served in cream sauce with tomato and samphire.
- A hand-cut, Oak Smoked Beef Tartare, seared and oak-smoked, served with parmesan, golden egg yolk and crisp, granary toast.
Mains include:
- Chicken Bourguignon; succulent chicken cooked in a rich red wine sauce, with smoked pancetta, chestnut mushrooms and pearl onions, served with green beans.
- Pan-fried Sea Bass with Wild Mushroom sauce; flaky, pan-fried Sea Bass served on a bed of creamy foraged mushrooms, paired with spinach and samphire.
- A layered Lentil and Aubergine Bake served in a spiced tomato sauce with fresh mixed grains, roasted pumpkin puree, and red pepper drops.
- A tender, hand-selected and 21-day aged Sirloin Steak 8oz (£6 supplement).
Desserts include:
- Rum Baba with Mango – A golden sponge soaked in dark rum soaked. Served with Chantilly cream and a sprinkling of toasted coconut.
- A Selection of Cheeses including Camembert Le Fin Terroir, Melusine goat’s cheese, Cornish Yarg and Stillton. All served with apple and apricot chutney and crackers.
