Ivy & Vine is a Mediterranean restaurant on Main Street in the heart of Celbridge, County Kildare. Opened in 2026, the restaurant is a local family-run venture that takes its inspiration from Mediterranean cooking, with a particular focus on Spanish and Canarian flavours. Its approach combines traditional flavours with contemporary techniques, creating a relaxed setting for food designed to be shared.
The menu takes a broad Mediterranean approach, with Spanish and Canarian influences particularly evident in the cooking. The restaurant describes its food as celebrating seasonal ingredients, bold flavours and simple dishes intended to be enjoyed together. The menu is also designed with sharing in mind, making it well suited to a meal where several dishes can be ordered for the table.
Ivy & Vine is positioned as a more polished evening destination rather than an all-day restaurant. Current listings show dinner and drinks as the main offering, with Saturday afternoon service and Sunday lunch also available. The restaurant has a full bar serving wine, beer and cocktails, adding to its appeal for an evening meal or drinks.
Inside, the restaurant has been refurbished and reimagined as part of the new Ivy & Vine concept. There are several distinct areas, including the Ivy Room, Vine Room, Vine Loft and Gallery Bar, giving the restaurant a variety of spaces for different occasions. There is also an outside dining area.
The restaurant is intended to feel relaxed but refined, with its owners describing the aim as creating a welcoming place where the local community can come together over food and good company. Private dining is also available, while reservations can be made directly with the restaurant.
